Lawyers ask judge to order white nationalist Chris Cantwell to stop 'unlawful threats' against plaintiffs, attorney


Attorneys who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in connection with a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville asked a judge Tuesday to order one of the men who participated in the violence to stop making "unlawful threats" against the plaintiffs and their lead attorney.

In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville, lawyers for 10 people who were hurt during two days of violence in August 2017 said Christopher Cantwell recently focused "his hateful rhetoric" on attorney Roberta Kaplan.

They allege that Cantwell, responding to an article about Kaplan in a Jewish publication, on June 18 used an anti-Semitic slur on a social media website when referring to Kaplan and wrote that after she "loses this fraudulent lawsuit, we're going to have a lot of [expletive] fun with her."

In their motion, the plaintiffs' lawyers wrote: Cantwell's "threat against Ms. Kaplan is troubling, distracting and distressing."

perhaps it will land him in jail.

Here is an image I came across on Twitter of what he posted.



He has posted such threats directed at other people, but this time he picked the wrong target.
