A judge has denied bail to Christopher Cantwell, a neo-Nazi who obtained internet infamy after video of him crying about Charlottesville went viral.

According to local news outlets WMUR-TV and NBC29, Cantwell is being held without bail after his first court hearing Thursday morning.

Cantwell is facing charges for pepper spraying a counter-protester on the campus of the University of Virginia. The white nationalist from Keene, New Hampshire had claimed he used the pepper spray in self-defense.

Cantwell is facing 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 — all felonies.

1. Poor wittle Nazi... Needs him a binky and a blanky.

What a piece of shit.

[Aristus]

2. Whoever told him he could cry his way out of criminal charges was WRONG!

Have fun in jail, creep...

[Calista241]

3. Kinda surprised he got denied bail.

Since he turned himself in. He's still a douchebag.

[obamanut2012]

4. Three felonies

[dixiegrrrrl]

55. Gee..felons can't have guns, can they?????

[atreides1]

10. Possible flight risk

He has no local connections, except for the tiki torch Nazis he was marching with, charged with three felonies, and he took his time turning himself in after he found out about the arrest warrants!

Not a surprise the judge denied bail!

[broadcaster90210]

23. Agreed.

It was that delay in turning himself in that did it. However, I expect he will get bail at some point; $150,000 to $300,000 seems right but I've been off the bench a long time so we'll see.

53. "Cantwell can seek a bond hearing when counsel is appointed.".....

He will have an opportunity for bond. stay tuned.

http://www.nbc29.com/story/36208125/cantwell-08-24-2017
According to Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert Tracci, the judge denied bond during Thursday's hearing, but Cantwell can seek a bond hearing when counsel is appointed. Cantwell plans to hire his own attorney..........................

[dixiegrrrrl]

56. preliminary hearing set for October 12.

No bail and prelim is not untill Oct. 12th......

He's gonna be meeting of inmates till then, and not all of them are gonna be white.
Go ahead, Chris, tell them all what you doing when you had to "defend" yourself.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Given that he was out of state when the warrants were issued...

I'm not suprised. Sure, he turned himself in, but why give him another chance to go hide out in the woods with his fellow NAZIs, though he doesn't look much like an outdoorsy tough guy.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

37. More like hide out in The Waffle House.

[sheshe2]

5. Enjoy your stay!

[DetlefK]

6. Heads up, buddy! You're famous now!!!

[Pluvious]

19. Maybe his cellmate will give him comfort heh n/t

[Mr.Bill]

57. Remember,

Virginia is for lovers.

[vkkv]

7. The Face of a LOSER !!!!!!!

[heaven05]

8. cowardly POS

will probably get off and walk with a 'slap on the wrist'. This is Virginia.

9. Cory Lewandowski lives in New Hampshire

Perhaps Cory should inquire about conjugal visits.

[n2doc]

12. Looks like he is trying to grow his hair out

Skinhead once, skinhead forever, sucker!

[Wounded Bear]

16. Maybe it's because no razors in jail? nt

[Cryptoad]

13. They will never find a jury of peers

whom will convict!,,,,,,,,,
This is the new White rethug Justice

[Cosmocat]

17. That is my guess and he will be even worse than ever

if that does occur, feeling all self righteous and vindicated ...

[Cryptoad]

29. May be time to reorganize ,,,,,,,

the "Weather Men",,,,,,!

[BigmanPigman]

24. He was arrested and jailed twice before (at least) for DUIs

and that is what really sparked his rage against government in the first place. This will give him a lot more ammo and he will be extremely dangerous when he gets out.

[Cryptoad]

28. Judge needs to ,,,,

put wrench in the cog of the justice Sys
hold him as long as possible and delay the trial
as much as possible

this may be the reality that is the only justice he will ever recieve

[longship]

14. Sleeping in the bed he made.

Behind bars!

You dood it, yourself, idiot!

No sympathy, crybaby.

[Lithos]

18. What a snowflake

Wonder if he'll get new tats to fit in with his "brothers"...

[oasis]

20. I saw this same creep pounding a protester on another video.

The district attorney's office should vigorously eyeball all available footage.

[jcmaine72]

21. Gelded weasel

[calimary]

36. Welcome to DU, jcmaine72!

That's a terrific label for this dude. Sure can swagger around and talk tough when he thinks he's safe. But then watch him snivel and whine and cry when he thinks he's in trouble and about to be held accountable for what he's said and done and thereby helped to enable.

[jcmaine72]

41. Thanks!

Sometimes genetics/nature conspires to make people look precisely like what they really are. Never was that more true than in the case of this loser.

[zentrum]

22. What does "crying...

....about Charlottesville" mean, more specifically?

He cried that he got arrested? He cried that he was opposed by protesters? He cried that the Nazi's didn't prevail?

Any clarity much appreciated.

[SeattleVet]

25. Well, to be more specific, he was crying when he found out that there was a warrant...

Made a video of himself crying that he was terrified that the police were going to kill him. Doesn't want to go back to jail.

When he was in his little nazi group he was all big talk and bluster, but as soon as he was alone and found out that he was a wanted person...snowflake time.

Look on YouTube for 'crying nazi', an you will be fully enlightened.

[zentrum]

44. Thanks Seattle! n/t

43. Thank you! Much appreciated. n/t

[Moostache]

26. When convicted, does he get to keep his guns?

I sure hope not...

[Comatose Sphagetti]

54. If convicted of a felony...

Guns are gone.

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. He was a real tough guy in that documentary. Not so tough now.

[snort]

30. Just positively screams superior.

It's them master race genes, is what.

[jmowreader]

31. The Keene, NH, address stood out

I started to wonder if he was a member of the Free Keene antigovernment group. Turns out he was, but he underwent an evolution: he started out hating the police, but transitioned to hating nonwhite people...at which point the Free Keeners kicked him out.

[Raven]

32. The Free Keeners are a bunch of fruitcakes but not

violent as far as I can tell. A few years ago, the Free Keeners were running around downtown Keene putting money into expired parking meters. Keene took them to court over it ( a really dumb idea) and the Free Keeners won, I believe.

[jmowreader]

35. The meter plugging wasn't the city's biggest issue

Their also videotaping and harassing the enforcement officers - to the point one of them quit over it - was.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

40. I'm sure you've seen this

https://m.

[jmowreader]

52. Yes I have

I've also seen this...

and this...

and this...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

60. Were they behind the infamous Keene Pumpkinfest riots? nt

[jmowreader]

61. No one can prove it, but this smells like them

[Javaman]

33. oh the aryan brotherhood is going to love him in prison. nt

[Old Vet]

45. Oh man you got that right, Those fellas in jail are the real deal......

And the white power boys in jail HATE posers like this dude.

[shenmue]

34. Ha ha

[muntrv]

39. Toughen up, pajama boy!

[BHDem53]

42. I want my MOMMY!!

[proud patriot]

46. things that make me smile widely

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Tarheel_Dem]

47. Did he lose his lips in the scuffle? They've disappeared, but I love his outfit. n/t

[Codeine]

48. Looking forward to all that sweet prison meth.

Useless tweaker.

[Dustlawyer]

49. ... but I am sure he is really a nice guy.

Sarcasm

[mercuryblues]

50. HAHAHA

not so tuff after all. Don't do the crime if ya a crybaby.

My best friend and I go arrested when we were 18/19. Silly story. But when they put us in the cell, she looked like she was going to cry. I started singing "Jailhouse Rock." She still laughs about that today.

But shit, 2 teenaged females handled getting arrested better than this guy.

[BobTheSubgenius]

51. In the event that he does serious time,

he will be hooked up bigly with the Aryan Nation. How many think he will be chastened and rehabilitated upon his release?

[DoctorJoJo]

58. Poetic Justice, Because Karma's a Bitch

Prison Guard: "Chris, this is your new roommate Shaquille. You may remember him as he played in the NFL as a defensive tackle. But don't look directly at him, 'cause he hates that. Now you two have fun, you hear?"

JoJo

[Honeycombe8]

59. He's crying? He's CRYING? There's no crying in Nazi-ism!

I would never have pegged him for a cryer. He was so arrogant and anti-social in that video, and so tough guy.
