CHARLOTTESVILLE, VirginiaChristopher Cantwell is not happy being labeled "the crying Nazi."
The white supremacist got the moniker after he recorded a tearful video upon hearing he was wanted for arrest after pepper-spraying protesters at the University of Virginia on August 11. That was the night several hundred torch-wielding white nationalists chanted Jews will not replace us and then encircled a few dozen protesters gathered at a statue of university founder Thomas Jefferson.
"When I come down here for a permitted demonstration, championed by the ACLU, where the police are supposed to be clearing our enemies from our path, and then I find myself involved in a riot facing 20 years in prison, I got emotional, shockingly enough," Cantwell told The Daily Beast in his first interview from jail.
"One minute I'm a fucking white supremacist terrorist and the next minute I'm a fucking crybaby?" he asks. "I'm a goddamn human being."
The 36-year-old New Hampshire resident said he is being held in solitary confinement at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail out of concerns for his safety.

Maybe this will show him how it feels to have society against him. Only he is an evil person.

and the next, you're a fucking crybaby white supremacist terrorist. You said it, and it's very true.
Now, eat your oatmeal and get used to prison. You'll be there for a while.

Heather Heyer was a human being, may she rest in peace.
You're a monster - a crying monster - but, a monster.

not vice versa, which is what he lives for.
