Christopher Cantwell was facing 60 years for pepperspraying Communists at last summer's Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA. He won't face any more charges or jailtime and took a misdemeanor as a plea deal. Has to leave VA and be banned for 5 years from the State. Prettygud.jpeg. Once he gets his shit back together, he'll be back to making more shows.
Had to take a deal based on watching all the other people from that rally get jail time.

I don't blame him for taking the plea deal, especially after what happened to the other UTR guys.

I'm not a cantwell fan, but it is good to see he made it out.
Oliver Perry

Will the prevent a countersuit for keeping him locked up wrongly?

A lot of the other guys had tougher cases than he did. They were on camera hitting a guy on the ground iirc, which is a hard case to beat when the entire city is against you. Cantwell had pepper spray, a lot harder for them to get a conviction.
Samuel Long
If he pled guilty to anything, he wasn't "locked up wrongly."

Are there 360 degree helmet/hat cams? Lefties like to sucker punch behind your back.
Cops should wear body cameras just because in the current year.

He's done some dumb stuff in the past, but for now congrats are in order and I wish nothing but the best to him.
