Charlottesville



UPDATE 8/24:
Christopher Cantwell, a white nationalist facing assault charges related to a torch-lit march at the University of Virginia, appeared in Albemarle County General District Court on Thursday morning.

Cantwell, from Keene, New Hampshire, faces two charges of illegal use of tear gas, phosgene or other gases and one charge of malicious bodily injury by means of an caustic substance or agent, according to UVa police.

[...]

He is currently being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail after turning himself into the Lynchburg Police Department on Wednesday afternoon.

He was practically sobbing in a video he made of himself once he found out there was a warrant out for his arrest, garnering him the moniker "The Weeping Nazi". It appears those scenes of him pouring milk on himself to mitigate a pepper spray attack were either staged by him, or he accidentally sprayed himself.
