Charlottesville Police Said to Issue Warrant for Rally Speaker

The police reportedly issued the warrant for Cantwell for his alleged illicit use of pepper spray and injury by caustic agent or explosive.
[...]
As he listed all of the procedures he and his associates followed in order to gain an assembly permit for the fatal "Unite the Right" rally on August 12, Cantwell said he "honestly" believed he has been "law-abiding."

hmmm. DoJ being in the state it's in, it is unlikely anyone is left to assemble mail and wire fraud charges against Cantwell. That case could, if successful, put him away for a few years. No "Hate Crime" escalation needed!

'Assault with intent to do great bodily harm' should be chargeable for an act that could result in blindness and, if convicted, that would carry significant prison time. Prehaps Va can handle this without DoJ.

"The FBI also says it is opening a civil rights investigation into the incident, together with the Department of Justice.."

He was surrendered today to "two felony counts of using tear gas and one felony count of causing "malicious bodily injury" with a caustic substance." and was denied bond.
