And the axe falls:

“The Massachusetts National Guard considers the conduct of this soldier to be inappropriate and inconsistent with our military values,” Col. Mark Kalin, Commander, Massachusetts Army National Guard, said in a statement to the Times. “We are currently working to ensure our service member is evaluated and receives any services he may need, while also reviewing appropriate disciplinary actions. The incident is currently under investigation and no further information is available at this time.”

This is basically vigilante action, and nuts besides, since a National Guard officer has no authority to be enforcing the law or whatever the hell this weirdo was trying to do. He is a full time employee of the Mass Guard. Every large Guard unit has a number of full time cadre personnel who keep things running while everyone else is out doing their civilian stuff. These are critical personnel and there is no way this guy should be left in this assignment, or in the Guard at all.
