Reminder, at the end of the day Nazis are vicious bullies. After they attack minorities, they often attack their own friends and family.
Please dont defend the Nazis, it's not worth it.
Thanks to the Informant for reporting on the case. They got reactions to the Christopher Cantwell verdict from a number of people, including "CheddarMane," the neo-Nazi victim in the case.
After a four-day trial, the neo-Nazi podcaster was found guilty on two charges. He now faces a maximum sentence of 22 years.
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE — Christopher Cantwell, the neo-Nazi podcaster charged by federal prosecutors with threatening to rape a rival neo-Nazi’s wife has been found guilty of extortion and threats. Jurors acquitted Cantwell of cyberstalking.
Cantwell, who has been nicknamed the "Crying Nazi" and who sobbed multiple times during the trial, had no obvious reaction as the jury foreperson read the verdict.
The charges stemmed from a series of messages Cantwell sent to Benjamin Lambert, a Missouri man who used the alias “CheddarMane” and who was a member of the Bowl Patrol, a loosely affiliated group of neo-Nazis who declare mass shooters to be “saints” and cheer the type of violence they think will set off a race war and subsequently usher in a white ethnostate.
In the messages, Cantwell said he would “fuck” Lambert’s wife if the man did not give up information about another rival neo-Nazi, known at the time only by the pseudonym “Vic Mackey.”
Vic Mackey, who has since been unmasked as Andrew Casarez, was the leader of the group. The group’s name is an homage to the bowl-style haircut worn by the white supremacist convicted of murdering multiple people in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015.
“So if you don’t want me to come and fuck your wife in front of your kids, then you should make yourself scarce[.] Give me Vic, it’s your only out,” Cantwell wrote in a June 2019 Telegram message to CheddarMane.
Lambert testified as a government witness, as did Paul Nehlen, the twice failed Wisconsin congressional candidate who has been closely associated with the Bowl Patrol since 2019.
Cantwell is perhaps best known for being involved in the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. His role in the rally has landed him in other legal trouble, including being named as a defendant in a federal lawsuit against the organizers of the rally.
