    'My life is over': Man who attended Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally forced to move away after being identified

    'I can’t live in this community anymore. I’m in the process of figuring out what I’m going to do'

    Lucy Pasha-Robinson

    A man who attended the white supremacist march in Charlottesville has told how his “life is over” after being publicly identified.

    Jarrod Kuhn was identified as a “nazi” after an anti-fascist group posted 250 fliers around the Honeoye Falls area of New York in the aftermath of the Virginia bloodshed that left three people dead.

    The flier claimed Mr Kuhn is a “leading figure with the Daily Stormer, an avowedly neo-Nazi website around which local groups have been organizing to promote anti-Semitism, white supremacy and violence against LGBTQ communities,” according to the Livingston County news.


    Mr Kuhn confirmed he attended the Charlottesville rally but strongly denied being a “neo-nazi”, claiming it was a “crazy assertion”.

    “I’m not a neo-Nazi. I don’t belong to a German workers’ party from 1933,” he told the paper. “... I’m a moderate Republican.”

    Mr Kuhn said he only travelled to Virginia to protest the removal of the Robert E Lee statue, which became the centre point of the deadly violence in the town. But he said being publicly identified has ruined his life and that his family had received death threats.

    “I can’t live in this community anymore. I’m in the process of figuring out what I’m going to do,” he said. “I’m 21 years old and now my life is over in this area.”

    But former friends of his took to social media to denounce him, claiming he had been bragging about his beliefs.

    It comes after online vigilantes called for users to publicly identify members of the Virginia rally, the largest of its kind in over a decade.

    Logan Smith, who runs the Twitter account, Yes, You’re Racist, launched a campaign to “out” potential nazis. But the controversial posts provoked a mixed reaction.

    While some support his efforts, others have warned of the dangers of doxxing - the act of sharing someone's personal information, usually a phone number or address, online.

    He also sparked controversy after incorrectly naming a number of innocent people who were not involved in the white nationalist demonstrations.

    Student Who Posed With Confederate Flag in Charlottesville Kicked Out of Christian College


    By Harriet Sinclair On 8/22/17 at 11:21 PM






    A student has been forced to leave his college after he was pictured holding guns and a Confederate flag while standing next to the Charlottesville, Virginia, statue that was the focus earlier this month of a white supremacist rally.

    Allen Armentrout did not attend the white supremacist rally at which a counter-demonstrator was killed after a car ploughed into her, but donned a Confederate uniform and traveled to Charlottesville days after the violence to pose with the controversial statue of Confederate General Robert E Lee. He was met with protest from local residents, who chanted "terrorist go home" at him, the Associated Press reported A photograph of a woman swearing at Armentrout went viral at one point.

    The student was pictured with a semi-automatic handgun, an AR-15 rifle and a Confederate flag, an image he said led to private Pensacola Christian College in Florida asking him to leave their program.

    "I have been released from my school and will be unable to return to college to finish my senior year," Armentrout told WX2 News. "I'm processing this and making adjustments to my life to compensate for this scrutiny,” he added.

    He also told the Pensacola News Journal that Confederate history had been misrepresented by the KKK and Nazis, and that he wanted to share his views on the history of the south, adding: “I went up there to represent what I believe is right.”

    College students who participated in the white supremacist rally were not kicked out of their colleges if they were state-run, but private colleges do not have the same rules.

    Armentrout, who is originally from North Carolina, said he wanted to “honor the greatest American that ever lived” by visiting the statue.

    As he posed for a picture next to the divisive monument, one resident told Armentrout the statue—whose removal was being protested by white supremacists at the Unite the Right march on August 12—was coming down, to which Armentrout said he responded: “No, it's not. The state of Virginia has a law that protects monuments like this."

    Armentrout said his dismissal from college would have a big impact on his future and he is now looking for a different place to study.

    "I'm a born-again Christian and I believe this wrench has hindered my attempt to serve the Lord,” he told the news station. “I believe a Christian institution should support patriotic individuals who want to stand for American tradition and beliefs. It really hurts me a lot when you try to do what's right and you get attacked.”

    Pensacola Christian College did not immediately respond to Newsweek's request for comment.

    Charlottesville Riots White Supremacist Chris Cantwell Turns Himself In

    upload_2017-8-24_2-42-35.jpeg

    White supremacist and one of the organizers of the Charlottesville Riots
    Chris Cantwell has turned himself in to police.

    Multiple reports say Cantwell turned himself in Wednesday after the University of Virginia Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest earlier in the week. The warrants were for two counts of illegal use of tear gas and one count of malicious bodily injury with a caustic substance.

    Cantwell was profiled in a piece by Vice about the August 11 riots that took the life of Heather Heyer, who was hit by a car driven through a crowd by 20-year-old James Alex Fields.

    Cantwell is currently being held in Lynchburg, VA and awaiting transport to Charlottesville.

    I wonder if he used it on himself. He was featured as being maced on that vice episode. As far as the 'outing' of white supremacists, shit they were out in public proud of their beliefs, why tuck tail and run all of the sudden. A bit ironic to see the script flip and them getting "oppressed".

    It's easy to be proud and brave when wear a mask and have a gun.

    Whatever happened to the conservative mantra of taking responsibility for your actions?

    I wonder what Timmy Kaine thinks about every morning?

    Wow, Timmy, if Hillary had won, you'd be just one or two Senate hearings from being President. But now you're just the junior senator from the Capital of the Confederacy.

  9. Virginia judge denies bail to crying neo-Nazi Christopher Cantwell


    A judge has denied bail to Christopher Cantwell, a neo-Nazi who obtained internet infamy after video of him crying about Charlottesville went viral.

    According to local news outlets WMUR-TV and NBC29, Cantwell is being held without bail after his first court hearing Thursday morning.

    Cantwell is facing charges for pepper spraying a counter-protester on the campus of the University of Virginia. The white nationalist from Keene, New Hampshire had claimed he used the pepper spray in self-defense.

    Cantwell is facing two counts of the illegal use of tear gas or other gases and one count of malicious bodily injury with a “caustic substance,” explosive or fire — all felonies.

    He turned himself in to a police department in Lynchburg, Virginia on Wednesday. Cantwell is being held at Albemarle County Regional Jail.

    He has a preliminary hearing set for October 12.
