Nazi at Center of Protest is "Terrified" He May Get Arrested
A white nationalist who was featured prominently in a Vice News documentary about the "Unite the Right" really in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend is very scared.
He"s also very sad and surprised and really, really, really wants you to feel sorry for him.
In the following video Christopher Cantwell shared on YouTube, the racist protestor complains about his ongoing plight, breaking down on multiple occasions over the fact that he may get arrested.
“I have been told there’s a warrant out for my arrest,” he says while crying in the footage, adding:
“With everything that’s happening, I don’t think it’s very wise for me to go anywhere. There’s a state of emergency. The National Guard is here!”
Cantwell was one of hundreds of white supremacists who gathered in Charlottesville last Friday and Saturday to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue.
In response, counter-protestors who are NOT awful bigots took to the streets and voiced their own opinions.
Things turned chaotic and violent and a 32-year old woman named Heather Heyer was killed by a car due to the actions of one of Cantwell"s fellow neo-Nazis.
“I want to be peaceful. I want to be law-abiding. That was the whole entire point of this,” Cantwell says below.
“I’m watching CNN talk about this as a violent, white nationalist protest. We have done everything in our power to keep this peaceful!”
Addressing the police, Cantwell asked that they contact him about any warrant.
“I am armed, I do not want violence with you," he says. "I’m terrified, I’m afraid you’re going to kill me, I really am."
Previously, another protestor named Peter Cvjetanovic came out and also whined about the negative coverage he was receiving as a result of his role in Charlottesville.
He claimed that he was a non-racist white nationalist.
"I honestly believe I have been law-abiding," Cantwell continues, explaining:
"I have been engaged in violence, I have, there’s no question about it and I’ve done nothing to hide that but it was in defense of myself and others and I would not have done it for any other reason."
Cantwell has been banned from Facebook and Instagram, while a page connected to his podcast was removed.
Watch his tear-filled video below and ask yourself: Do you feel sorry for this man?

Duggar Family Church Becomes Site of Anti-Trump Protest
Though it was the size of their seemingly ever-expanding brood that first landed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar in the national spotlight, it’s the couples ultra-conservative religious and political views that have made them enduring subjects of both derision and fascination.
That fascination has come at a significant price, as the family has been beset by a string scandals ever since it was revealed in May of 2015 that eldest son Josh Duggar molested four of his sisters when they were young girls.
So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the Duggars recently found themselves at the center of an uproar involving both their controversial religious beliefs and one of the more widely criticized policies of the Trump administration.
On Sunday, protestors gathered at the Cross Church in Springdale, Arkansas to protest Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement – a global initiative designed to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions.
The reason for the location may not have had anything to do with the Duggars, but rather with the church’s founder, Ronnie Floyd, who was reportedly a valued “spiritual advisor” to Trump during his campaign.
The peaceful assembly was covered by a local reporter named Katie Davidson:
“Protestors have assembled in front of Cross Church in Rogers to ask Ronnie Floyd, who was a member of a spiritual advisory panel for President Trump during the campaign, to help the poor and the climate,” Davidson wrote on Facebook yesterday.
It is not known if the fact that the Duggars attend the church was a factor in the protestors’ choice of location, though some have speculated that they might have been motivated by the additional media attention they would receive at the Springdale Cross Church, as opposed to one of the other places of worship presided over by Floyd.
Like Bill Gothard, founder of the “Quiverfull movement” that forms the basis for many of the Duggars beliefs, Floyd has been wrapped in numerous scandals over the years.
Most recently, Floyd has come under fire the excessive “tithing” demands he makes of his parishioners, as well as for homopohobic views expressed in his book The Gay Agenda: It’s Dividing the Family, the Church, and a Nation.
While the Duggars political beliefs have long been a source of controversy, TLC has consistently attempted to separate the family from the ideology, so as not to alienate viewers or advertisers.
It’s a task that’s become increasingly difficult over the years and may soon prove impossible.
Watch Counting On online to try and pick out all the scenes that have been carefully edited so as not to reveal the Duggars’ most far-right wing beliefs.
