Charlottesville pro-Nazi marcher and racist provocateur Christopher Cantwell said on Wednesday that he is in hiding and working with a new attorney after his first attorney dropped him in his ongoing dance with Charlottesville, VA police over warrants for his arrest.
On Wednesday, Cantwell posted to his blog that he has left the state of Virginia, but stayed nearby to monitor the situation and make turning myself in easier when the time came.

I contacted an attorney, but he dropped my case right around the time I read in the Boston Globe that I had two felony charges (one of which is a class 3) for what I presumed was pepper spraying a guy in a brawl at UVA (which the reds started), he complained, still attempting to shift blame away from himself.
Cantwell said that he has since found a suitable attorney but I got an email from the New York Times saying I had four warrants out for my arrest. He accused Virginia state officials of being corrupt and said, I doubt both their trustworthiness and their sanity and said the same about media organizations. His lawyer, he said, told him that he is due all the privileges and immunities of a citizen until I was served with a warrant, so I dont believe I am committing any crime by waiting for more information before I return home or to Virginia. So that is what I am doing right now.
He went on to say that he is in fear for his life and will therefore remain in hiding for the foreseeable future.

(1,301 posts)Such a manly man. He riles up his fellow idiots then runs away the second he is charged with all the crimes he committed. There's a real man for ya'.
When your attorney dumps you, take it as a sign you suck dude.

Turn yourself in as soon as possible and demonstrate you will cooperate with the court and you stand a chance at bail.
Choose to knowingly be a fugitive when warrants are out for your arrest and you deserve no bail because you have shown you can't be trusted to cooperate with the court or respect its authority.
