Attach a font icon in a "<li>" floating on the right

I've been trying to attach an icon on the right side of the list using only css class member.

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/QwgqVp?editors=110

So when I attach a class named 'location' to a desired list It should display an icon on the right like so:

Edited image to demonstrate the desired result

I tried using float:right; but it just stacks my list with the next one..

ul.listb li.location{
    content: '\f124'; /* FontAwesome char code inside the '' */
    font-family: FontAwesome; /* FontAwesome or whatever */
    /*this Wont work it just stacks with the next list*/
    /*
    float: right;
    */
}

What makes this hard for me is that I don't want to add anything on the html side. I only want to use 'location' class to make my icon show up in the list.

How can I do that?

Instead of using float for the icon of navigation, you can just make it at the background :

background: url("http://www.icone-png.com/png/39/39015.png") no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px ; // Any size you want for your image
background-position: right 2px; // you can change the position if you want

You can try it yourself : http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mywBYJ

Since you are already using both :before and after :pseudo-elements, you will have to use border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray instead of background: lightgray and use content: '\f124' along with it because content only works with :after or :before :pseudo-elements.

ul.listb {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
}
ul.listb li {
  position: relative;
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  /* Chrome/Safari */
  -moz-user-select: none;
  /* Firefox */
  -ms-user-select: none;
  /* IE10+ */
  cursor: pointer;
  display: block;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 20px 0;
}
ul.listb li:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
ul.listb li.location:after {
  position: absolute;
  content: '\f124';
  font-family: FontAwesome;
  top: 0;
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray;
  text-align: right;
  line-height: 50px;
}
ul.listb li.online::before {
  margin-left: 4px;
  content: '\f0c8   ';
  /* FontAwesome char code inside the '' */
  font-family: FontAwesome;
  /* FontAwesome or whatever */
  color: green;
}
ul.listb li.offline::before {
  margin-left: 4px;
  content: '\f0c8   ';
  /* FontAwesome char code inside the '' */
  font-family: FontAwesome;
  /* FontAwesome or whatever */
  color: lightgray;
}
ul.listb li:hover {
  background: #F5F5F5;
  /*color: #428BCA;*/
  font-weight: bold;
}

  <ul class="listb">

    <li class="online">Doe John</li>
    <li class="offline">Bill Gates</li>
