When Chris Cantwell learned that fellow neo-Nazi James Fields Jr. had been convicted of murder, he promised violent retribution - “complete and total destruction” by “an army of fanatics” ready to die for their cause.
But, as with everything Cantwell has done since August 2017, his vow was at least somewhat blunted by his dramatic fall and humiliating nickname: the "Crying Nazi."
Cantwell, who earned the nickname for his reaction to news of a warrant for his arrest, made the threats on Friday, the same day Fields was found guilty of murder for ramming his car through a street crowded with counterprotesters at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year.
