Self-Described "Antifa Hunter" Arrested for Threatening Black Lives Matter Activist in Charlottesville
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A prominent white supremacist from Florida has been arrested for making
racist and violent threats to the co-founder of Black Lives Matter in
Charlottesville, Virginia, who was considering a run for Charlottesville
City Council. The threats forced the activist, Don Gathers, to drop out
of the race. The white supremacist, Daniel Mc Mahon, has a long record
of threatening violence against antiracists and anti-fascists. He once
dubbed himself the "antifa hunter." Several of his online posts were
shared by the man who attacked the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh,
killing 11 Jewish worshipers.
