Reno student marching in Charlottesville rally denounces violence

A University of Nevada, Reno, student was identified as a marcher in a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia

Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, denounced the violence that led to three people’s deaths.

A photo of Cvjetanovic at the rally went viral on social media.

The event was staged to protest the mandated removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Cvjetanovic wrote that he “went to honor the heritage of white culture here in the United States,”

He said: “I recognize the need to acknowledge both the good and bad of white history as it has made the nation we have now. All people have the right to their culture and their history including jews, african-americans, and white americans. I do not advocate for violence and certainly not the death of anyone. Today became a tragedy with the three fatalities.”

Social media posts are calling for his expulsion from the university.

UNR President Marc A. Johnson said the rally’s message does not reflect the university’s egalitarian values.

Las Vegas dumps flashy logo after less than a year

The City of Las Vegas has dumped its flashy new logo after less than a year.

The logo adorned signs, promotional materials, work attire, staff business cards, email signatures, vehicles and equipment.

It cost the city roughly $20,000 to develop and trademark.

Now, the city is pivoting back to the official city seal.

City Manager Scott Adams said a fun logo doesn’t carry with it the gravity the city seal does.

Adams doesn’t estimate there will be much of a cost to the city to transition back to the seal, because the city will re-brand things as they’re retired and replaced.

The man accused of stabbing a Palazzo security guard has made his first court appearance.

Las Vegas police arrested Joseph Espinoza, 34, near The Mirage after the incident.

In 2015 he tried to stab a security guard at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Deputy Public Defender Michael Wilfong said Espinoza has a history of mental illness.

In the new case, he faces charges of attempted murder and battery with a deadly weapon.

The injured guard is expected to survive.

Justice of the Peace Pro Tem Holly Stoberski ruled that he will be held on $100,000 bail.

“Maybe my parents can bail me out,” Espinoza said.

A preliminary hearing is slated for Aug. 28.
