This just in: Crying neo-Nazi Christopher Cantwell is currently sitting in a jail cell in Lynchburg, Virginia after surrendering himself to police.
Just to recap: Cantwell attended the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally earlier this month. While there, he was recorded shouting hateful, racist rhetoric, waving guns and other weapons in the air, and threatening violence.
Days later, he posted a pathetic video to YouTube in which he sobbed like a baby over learning that there were multiple warrants out for his arrest.
Cantwell told The New York Times last weekend that the warrants stemmed from an incident during the hate rally when he pepper-sprayed a stranger. He claims it was in self-defense.
“I thought that spraying that guy was the least damaging thing I could do,” he said. “In my left hand I had a flashlight. My other option, other than the pepper spray, was to break this guy’s teeth. OK? And I didn’t want to do that. I just wanted him to not hurt me.”
The New York Times reports:
In a statement released late Wednesday, the university police said they had been notified late that afternoon that Mr. Cantwell had turned himself in to the Lynchburg Police Department in Virginia. The brief statement did not say when Mr. Cantwell turned himself in.
He was being held at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail in Lynchburg, Va., pending transport to Charlottesville, the university police said.
Cantwell is charged with two felony counts of illegal use of tear gas plus an additional count of malicious bodily injury by means of a caustic substance.

I hope he hit a lot of metal – accidentally, of course – on the way to his cell.

Maybe Trump will offer to pay for this very fine person’s legal bills.

Odd that he turned himself in to Lynchburg, VA police. Lynchburg is 70 miles SW of Charlottesville. Lynchburg is the only city in Virginia that was not captured during the Civil War. Maybe that’s his F.U. to the system.

UVA Police issued the warrants; that might have something to do with the location of surrender.

Well this tells us all we need to know. This article has been up almost 24 hours and not ONE of the Trump troll screenames has come in here to mock this guy or talk about what a douche he is.
Whenever thre is ANYBDY perceived to be a liberal that is being written about, Mo Bro and his many screenames are all over here attacking tem. But you have a Nazi advocating violence against other races, calling for the deaths of people etc… and nothing.
How interesting, so just like Trump won’t call out Putin or Nazis or the KKK, neither will the phony trolls on here who pretend to be lgbt but are obviously just on here to attack anything pro-lgbt or Democrat.
Thanks for continuing to make it obvious guys.
As for this douche. Gee, the master race sure cries and whines a lot doesn’t it?
