Nix was arrested last week on federal charges after Tischauser shared the results of his investigation with the U.S. Army.

An Army spokesperson says Nix has now been booted from the service.

"It’s a problem when we have avowed white supremacists with access to the training provided by the U.S. Army, getting weapons put into his hands and then moonlighting as a recruiter for a white-supremacist organization," Tischauser noted.

I guarantee you he's a drop in the bucket in terms of white supremacy in the U.S. military. They need to go through their ranks with a fucking scouring pad.

The commander in charge of investigating the matter did not believe disciplinary action was needed.

Jesus fucking Christ. Those people, at the very minimum, should get a dishonorable discharge. Really, they should be in Leavenworth for that. The Nazis may be gone, but they're still promoting an enemy of the U.S.

I want to know what kind of discharge he got, especially since it was so quick: was it sufficiently dishonerable, or did some sympathizer sneak him out with a "general" before they had a chance to properly court-martial him and send him to Leavenworth?

[-] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He has not been discharged as of yet and is being held awaiting his federal trial. After that trial then he'll be brought up for court martial (unlikely) or receive his big chicken dinner in fed lockup after his conviction (most likely)

If it was that quick, it was definitely a general.

They can do "other than honorable" pretty quick, but you're probably right.

Phil Williams, the investigative reporter in this article, is an absolute treasure in Tennessee. This dude has broken open more corruption, fraud, conspiracies, government waste, etc. in his career than I can even list. As an elected official or business owner, the sight of Phil Williams with his microphone and camera crew is the thing you fear the most, but he's very measured and patient.

TL;dr: support your local journalism!

"This guy, Kai Liam Nix, was a recruiter for Patriot Front in and around North Carolina," said Jeff Tischauser, a senior researcher with the Southern Poverty Law Center, referring to a white-supremacist organization known for its khaki pants and hate-filled flyers that it posts in public places in the dark of night.

Time to post this again:

Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022.

I happen to be seeding this on a permanent basis. I have a gigabit uplink. Please leach and share. Expose these fucks.

The link was cut of for me.

Thanks! I was copying and pasting from a prior post on mobile in a discontinued Lemmy client.

You respond to nazis with fists, elbows, knees, knives, guns, large blunt objects, and mockery.

But never with compliance. Never.

Let's not leave out pepper spray: Low effort, high results, with a healthy side of comedic effect.

Nazis aren't worth risking a chipped knuckle or something IMO.

Was it Trump?
