More on That Charlottesville Nazi in the Vice Video

Charlottesville police have reportedly issued warrants for the arrest of Christopher Cantwell, a white supremacist prominently featured in a Vice News documentary.

[...]

The warrants are for illegal use of gases and injury by caustic agent or explosive, the Boston Globe reported.

[...]

Cantwell posted a tearful video on YouTube earlier this week after apparently learning there were warrants out for his arrest.

[...]

He told the AP he wouldn’t attend the [upcoming] Boston rally because he wouldn’t be able to carry a gun.

What a dick.

It does bolster the claims that the scene of him supposedly having been pepper sprayed was a phony set to make it look like the Antifa people were the ones using chemical attacks.

Here's the video he made.  Crybaby.  He says tearfully, "We have done everything in our power to keep this peaceful."  Yeah, you saw the Vice video.  The guy had how many guns at the rally?  I only made it halfway through that sniffeling, lying shit.  Good luck if you decide to watch it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Another story on "The Weeping Nazi", wherein we find there are others for whom the day didn't turn out the way they thought it would, and Cantwell himself has been banned from OKCupid, Tinder, YouTube channel, Facebook and Twitter.

Take “Millennial Matt,” whose catchphrase — “Hitler did nothing wrong!” — earned him tens of thousands of fans before he went to the rally, but his Twitter account has since been deleted, his real identity publicized, and he is now begging fans for money to flee his home town because “my life is in shambles.”

Sad!

UPDATE 8/23:  The Weeping Nazi will turn himself in.

University of Virginia police say Christopher Cantwell of Keene, New Hampshire, is wanted on three felony charges: two counts of the illegal use of tear gas or other gases and one count of malicious bodily injury with a “caustic substance,” explosive or fire.

[...]

Cantwell – who appeared in a Vice News documentary about the violence – acknowledged he had pepper-sprayed a counter demonstrator during an 11 August protest but insisted he was defending himself, saying he did it “because my only other option was knocking out his teeth”.

The Rest of the Story

Remember the Nazi in that Vice video who said he got maced? Seems it was questionable.

As If You Didn't Know

Here's Anderson Cooper interviewing Elle Reeve rebutting Trump's claim that there were some "fine people" who were not white supremacists at the Charlottesville parade:



It doesn't take a lot of smarts to realize that there are no fine people who march a la KKK with torches at night to a Confederate hero statue.

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.
