'Crying Nazi' Christopher Cantwell's Lawyer Says He's Just Kidding About Killing Jews

The white supremacist who rails against minorities is just a ‘shock jock,’ according to his attorney, who compared him to Jewish comedian Jackie Mason.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia — Christopher Cantwell’s lawyer says his client’s comments disparaging blacks and Jews is just a comedic act of a “shock jock,” comparing him to the Jewish comedian Jackie Mason.

The claim was made during a four-hour bail hearing for Cantwell on Thursday night. Cantwell faces three felony charges stemming from an incident at the University of Virginia on Aug. 11, in which he pepper-sprayed at least two people during a torchlight procession of hundreds of white supremacists who chanted Nazi slogans. The conflict was captured on camera and broadcast in a now-famous Vice News documentary.

Cantwell, a New Hampshire resident, hosts an online white-supremacist radio show called Radical Agenda and has become a well-known figure in the so-called “alt right.” He was invited to the Aug. 12 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville as a speaker, but didn’t after the event turned into a riot in which Heather Heyer was killed.

Cantwell was initially granted release pending trial on a $25,000 cash bond, but the county prosecutor appealed the ruling. A second bail hearing hours later asked whether Cantwell is a flight risk and whether he poses an immediate threat to anyone if released.
Cantwell's attorney is Elmer Woodard, who appeared in court wearing an early-1800s-style red waistcoat with gold buttons, bowtie, white muttonchop whiskers, black velcro shoes, and a a 1910s-style straw boater hat. Cantwell said Woodard was his fourth choice for legal counsel after three other lawyers declined to take his case. (Woodard previously attempted to defend a client accused of sexual assault by a 15-year-old girl by claiming that the man’s sleepwalking caused him to rape her.)

2. Right. Nazis always kid around like that.

Sounds like the Crying Nazi will do jail time.

What a pity.

8. No wonder he was the only lawyer who would take Cantwell's case.

Holy crap, just read some of his posts, he hates Bernie and Obama too, and he rants about commies a lot.

This guy is certifiable. And a racist piece of shit. Good to know Cantwell will get the defense he deserves.

13. Hey he's one of the top 30 lawyers in Danville Va

I honestly wouldn't have guessed there WERE 30 lawyers in Danville.

His photos are dominated by old cars, civil war reenactors, and Revolutionary War reenactors.

He has the ooooold VuhGINyuh racist lawyer look DOWN!

[beam me up scottie]

14. It takes a special kind of lawyer to defend sexual predators and Nazis!

Gawd, I feel like I need a shower after reading his page, too bad his privacy settings don't allow us to comment.

Oh and his grammar is atrocious, where did he go to school, Trump University?

[underpants]

17. Campbell U and Washington & Lee

W&L is a very good highly expensive school in Lexington VA.

[beam me up scottie]

19. I find that difficult to believe, maybe he attended those schools but flunked out?

Take this post for example:

Black electrical tape, as we know it know, was patented by 3M in 1946.

And this:

Our conclusion that the Nazis had no Abomb is based on the face that we did not find one, nor acres for, nor the infrastructure to support them. However, we still have little idea what the Reds found. There is credible evidence of a bomb blueprint from behind the Iron Curtain. There is also right much infrastructure of unknown purpose. We were looking for an Oak Ridge because that's how we got weapons grade uranium. What's to say they did not find a different way, such as adding protons and neutrons to a lighter radioactive element, such as thorium or polonium?

There are others but they're horribly bigoted and don't deserve reposting.

The trial should be entertaining, I hope it's televised. I want to see Cantwell's face when he's sentenced.

3. Ah yes. Nazi jokes.

[malaise]

6. Fuck him and the rest of the

'collective pack'.
Lock them UP!

[TEB]

7. Asshole

[Downtown Hound]

9. Watta funny guy!

NOT! Next thing you're going to tell me is that he is a racist Nazi terrorist because he ate a Twinkie.

[gratuitous]

10. These tough guys sure turtle fast when the prospect of jail time comes up

Almost as if their whole lifetime of grievances that drove them to embrace their inner Nazi was just a sham, and now that they're facing some serious consequences it's time for everyone to be reasonable and cancha take a joke?

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Esp. when they help convict themselves out of their own stupidity.

But when Tracci asked Cantwell to describe what he does for a living, he answered: “I do a racist podcast.”

[SHRED]

11. Yeah...not so funny now asswipe.

[meow2u3]

12. Suuuuurrreee!

He was only kidding about killing Jews--and my cat ate me for dinner last night!

"I was only kidding" is the classic excuse for a genocidal racist who was caught red-handed.

[Behind the Aegis]

15. Yeah, right.

The truth is there are people who will believe this nonsense.

[Mr. Ected]

16. Then lock him up in a funny cell

And throw away the comical key.

[Docreed2003]

18. Yeah, just like Jackie Mason....

Whatever you racist fuck

[Solly Mack]

20. I hope they televise the misadventures of the Crying Nazi and Elmer McFuckedinthehead.

Because...Damn.
