Ohio police arrested James P. Reardon, 20, for online threats to shoot up a Jewish community center.

I've seen it reported that he was in Charlottesville.

Indeed, already found a clip of my own.

I'll keep going through my vid and posting my findings.

When Richard Spencer entered the park, antifa attempted to mace him and hit a lot of other folks.

Reardon was one of those maced.

I've put the portions of this clip into slo-mo, you can see him struggling with mace burn and pouring a waterbottle on his face.

My next tweet will be video context for this image.

In my video, here's James P. Reardon, 20, who was just arrested for a threat to shoot up a synagogue, seen wielding a baton during a brawl in Charlottesville.

At the beginning of a fight, Reardon can be heard screaming at antifa "Come on [N-WORD]! Come on!" as he wielded a baton.

Items were thrown from one side to another, and Reardon's friends deployed mace.

Reardon himself stepped forward but didn't land a hit.

After the rally is shut down and the park is cleared, he and many Unite the Right attendees head west.

He'd put on a helmet, and he had a flag pole instead of a baton.

I'll have the video in the next tweet.

(NatGeo ID's him with this helmet as well)

"Back up!" "Go back" "Back up!" Militia guys wanted Reardon nowhere near them, and pushed him back while wielding a rifle.

"Who the fuck are you guys with?" he asked. No answer.

"At least I have the constitution while I'm surrounded by N*****s!" he mocked them.

I actually can't do this anymore tonight. It's a little stressful.

I only looked through A12, not the torch rally footage. I'll work more on it tomorrow.

Serious media inquiries fordfischer@news2share.com, but I'm otherwise gonna be offline tonight. Goodnight everyone.

I'm staying right now with my friend @johnrudoff.

He just found one photo of James Reardon as well that he shot.
