TITLE: Someone wrote racist messages on a sidewalk; a guardsman is under investigation
LINDSBORG, Kan. — The Kansas Army National Guard is investigating after a private admitted to being involved when chalk messages, including some that were racially offensive, were written on the sidewalks of Bethany College.
The 19-year-old apologized to The Salina Journal for his involvement. He offered no details about what happened Sept. 3 at the college in the central Kansas town of Lindsborg. The private wasn't a student there but is involved in the new alternative right group Identity Evropa, which the Southern Poverty Law Center is studying.
Lindsborg Police Chief Tim Berggren says the messages aren't likely to result in charges.
But Kansas Adjutant General's Office spokeswoman Katie Horner says Guard policy doesn't allow participation in group activities that advocate supremacist or extremist doctrine. She says "appropriate, swift action" will be taken.

Capt (Join to see)
Or maybe a young man willing to admit his mistakes (AKA bad behavior)
That is not very common anymore.

Capt (Join to see) - Yes but if that is the case then the others he indicated need to be punished as well. Hes still a scape goat and taking the fall for everyone else!

the Southern Poverty Law Center = Bigoted Left leaning Organization. If anyone does not agree with them they list them as a Hate Group. The DoD stopped using them as a reliable source over a Decade Ago

Appears to be a white supremacist group. Hopefully Kansas Guard kicks his ass out.
