A federal jury on Monday found a self-proclaimed white nationalist who rose to prominence during a deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, guilty of threatening to rape the wife of a man who was part of a racist group he felt was harassing and bullying him.

Christopher Cantwell, a New Hampshire resident and radio host, was arrested in January on federal charges of extortion, making threats and cyberstalking. He had pleaded not guilty.

The jury found Cantwell guilty of extortion and threatening to injure property or reputation, but not guilty of cyberstalking. He faces up to 22 years in prison.

He did not show any visible reaction to the verdict.

They should apply the same standards to all those creepy Antifa/BLM goons that doxxed the cops.

It’s getting so that for many Americans it simply doesn’t pay to comply with the legal system.

How did you arrive at that absurd statement?

It’s the opposite.

It’s not fair but until things change certain people have to comply at an even higher level.

That needs to change.

I see NO advantage to your comment

Well, if your an illegal alien in a sanctuary city/state there's no charge, much less a conviction.

Buried in the middle of the article is the most important bit of news, the thing that was foremost in readers' minds, the most serious question of all...
Everyone at the trial wore a mask because of the coronavirus pandemic. The microphone was sanitized after each person spoke, and members of the public were limited in the courtroom and socially distanced.

What about all of the lefties who have done the same on social media?

White supremacists are the straw man for the DoJ. They have to pretend that the WSes are the great threat. This is because the main actors, like Wray, are all creatures of Soros and part of the cabal to take down America.

“It wasn’t rape-rape”

Whoopie Goldberg in reference to Roman Polanski convicted raping of an underage girl.

***..was arrested in January on federal charges of extortion, making threats and cyberstalking.***

Three quarters of the people on Facebook could be guilty of that!

For all the crowds of “social justice” we seem to have conveniently forgotten the concept of EQUAL JUSTICE.

I don’t see Patton Oswalt, Radical communist, being sentenced, let alone charged for far more egregious threats.

If this keeps going the way it is that will be the legacy of the “Resistance”.

All because some old drunk couldn’t accept the results of an election.

I honestly didn't think the old drunk corrupted our system to the degree she has.
