<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nStars & Stripes<\/a> reports that Michael Chesny, one of the organizers of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was discharged from the Marine Corps earlier this month. He published on the internet under the screen name “Tyrone”.<\/p>\n Under a different command, Chesny appeared to be headed for a promotion to staff sergeant as his misdemeanor trespassing charge was being cleared up in Graham, but he was still a sergeant April 5, when he was separated from the Corps, Fahy said, for \u201chis connection to white nationalist groups.\u201d<\/p>\n Chesny was an explosive ordnance technician stationed at Cherry Point Air Station. He enlisted in November 2007 and became a sergeant in May 2013.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Chesny helped raise a banner of the white supremacists on a building during the rally, prompting a trespassing charge, according to Al Jazeera<\/a>;<\/p>\n The banner featured a logo for Generation Identitaire, a far-right, nativist and anti-immigrant movement in Europe. The acronym alongside it, “YWNRL”, stands for “You Will Not Replace Us”, a popular chant used by Unite the Right marchers in Charlottesville to signal fears over so-called “white genocide”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Marine Corps also booted Chesny’s accomplice Joseph W. Manning.<\/p>\n Manning was a staff sergeant stationed at the Marine Corps Combat Engineer School at Camp Lejeune and an instructor in the program until he was \u201cadministratively separated\u201d from the Corps over his arrest around late December, said Nat Fahy, representing Marine Corps Installations East.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thanks to chooee for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
