The white nationalist nicknamed the “Crying Nazi” after he was featured in a documentary about clashes in Charlottesville has been found guilty of extortion and threatening to rape a woman.
Christopher Cantwell, 39, was convicted on Monday of one count of transmitting extortionate communications and one count of threatening to injure property or reputation, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire. He was found not guilty of cyberstalking.
Federal prosecutors said Cantwell used the Telegram messaging app to threaten to rape a Missouri man’s wife if he did not give him personal information about the leader of a white supremacist group called Bowl Patrol.
Cantwell, according to prosecutors, sought the personal information of someone who went by the name “Vic Mackey”, who was believed to be the leader of the group. He also sent a series of threatening text messages because he believed members of the group were harassing him online.

Nazi bastards. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought being a Nazi is a war crime? Considering many of those murderers are still being hunted, found and prosecuted, how is it they can still intimidate, hold rally's and promote their toxic hate. Proud boys, aka, proud boys, are Nazi's and they run around acting like patriots, which they are not. Racism has always been around and dealt with but Nazi's aren't American or a part of the American democracy. Of all the enemies we face, Nazi's and BLM are in America to destroy all our people.

Part of the problem in discussing this kind of issue is people conflating all conservative or even right wing groups with white supremacist and nazi groups. For instance, proud boys are a group formed to counter the worst of the far left violent groups like antifa. Proud boys has about the same racial makeup of the use, and some of the founders were races other than white.
