ProPublica: Active-Duty Marine Joined Violent Far-Right Protests
----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Pro Publica reports that an active-duty U.S. marine was among
the far-right protesters in Charlottesville last summer. The news site
published a selfie photograph of 18-year-old Vasillios Pistolis in his
Marine uniform, revealing he is a member of the neo-Nazi group
Atomwaffen. After the Charlottesville protests, Pistolis bragged about
assaulting transgender activist Emily Gorcenski, who came out to
confront the "Unite the Right" rally.
