Wonderful news.

White nationalist leader denied bail at hearing on pepper-spray charges linked to Charlottesville clashes

Christopher Cantwell, the brash white nationalist prominently featured in a Vice documentary on the Charlottesville protests, was denied bail Thursday on felony charges of using illegal tear gas and malicious bodily injury during the weekend clashes.

Cantwell, 36, has acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that he had pepper-sprayed a counter-demonstrator but insisted he was acting in self-defense.

We have a politicized kangaroo court system in this country.

If the justice system can deny bail for this white racist, national socialist...why can't they deny bail for criminals who use guns illegally? You know.....criminals who are actually killing people?

Let him rot in jail. People like him are no good in this society except unless you are a supporter hate groups.

[Care4all]

so it was these white supremacists who brought the tear gas and pepper spray....

right wingers were claiming it was not the skinheads etc but the antifa, and now we find out that was not true and just fake right wing news?

 

[EverCurious]

All the righties I've seen have said that both sides came to throw down ~shrug~

How about you rot. You provide no worth to society and waste good oxygen some honorable person could be breathing.

No...antifa brought gas too.....they have been doing this long before Charlottesville....remember this...this young woman is a Trump supporter being interviewed by the local news station....an antifa thug walks up and sprays her right in the face with pepper spray.......

The attack is at the 48 second mark...

Nope. Guys using tear gas on their "foes" at a protest can cool their heels in jail for a bit, imo.

TEAR GAS. Read the article. The big charge is TEAR GAS.

No....they have stated the truth.......the left denies antifa and black lives matter racists were there to fight.

Pepper spray is not tear gas.

 

[2aguy]

In fact...if you want to see antifa in action....watch the entire video...this is what these assholes have been doing for close to 2 years..

How about the gal in the video in post #11 doing the same thing? Should she be in jail?
