If he was crying last week over assuming he had warrants, neo-Nazi Christopher Cantwell is definitely shedding some big racist tears this week. Cantwell, who was infamously featured in a Vice documentary and attended this monthâs racist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., now has four arrest warrants issued by Albemarle County (Va.) Commonwealthâs Attorneyâs Office.

According to the New York Times, Cantwell faces four felony warrants related to the âillegal use of gases, and injury by caustic agent or explosive.â Cantwellâs arrest warrants stem from a photo being captured of him spraying pepper spray into a manâs face.
âI thought that spraying that guy was the least damaging thing I could do,â Cantwell told the Times. âIn my left hand I had a flashlight. My other option, other than the pepper spray, was to break this guyâs teeth. OK? And I didnât want to do that. I just wanted him to not hurt me.â
Itâs funny how a man who boasted about killing people didnât want to get hurt. Hell, if youâre willing to be âRacist Billy Brags a Lotâ on camera, a little pain shouldnât hurt. Of course, Cantwell doesnât think he did anything wrong.
âI donât think I did anything wrong, and Iâm looking forward to my day in court,â Cantwell told the Times. He went on to say that he wasnât scared, even though he was crying like a little punk just a week ago.
âThe problem is that my country has descended to a point where your political opinions get you charged with felonies, and thatâs what Iâm upset about,â he said. âI get a little emotional about the fact that all this is going on, and now people want to throw me in prison because I want to save my race and nation.â
Cantwell most recently wrote on his blog that it could be his last post because of the charges heâs facing.
âTomorrow Iâm more than likely going to find myself in a cage facing decades in prison,â he wrote. âIt is entirely possible that this will be the last time you hear from me.â
And the world said, âBye, Felicia.â
