Christopher Cantwell became a household word this week when he pathetically became the poster child for victimized white supremacists everywhere, sobbing and bemoaning a bench warrant on a video that went viral and then following that performance with yet another video angrily blaming “the Jewish media and financial institutions” for “crucifying” him — translating as pointing and laughing at his ridiculousness.
Cantwell actually crawled out from under his rock in 2014 when Stephen Colbert did a segment on Cantwell and two other residents of Keene, NH. The three called themselves “libertarians” and were depicted by Colbert as “total d*cks” who called themselves the “Free Keene Squad,” a trio of pistol packing parking meter vigilantes who spent their days harassing the town’s parking enforcement officers. In the segment Cantwell proudly displays his .38 and holster and says, “I find that when I carry a gun, people are very unlikely to hit me.” John Wayne would be proud.
