"It was an awkward gesture. Maybe he was trying to karate chop a fly?"

    Same people that say the swastika is a symbol of peace.

      the swastika remains a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain countries such as Nepal, India, Thailand, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, China and Japan, and carries various other meanings for peoples around the world, such as the Akan, Hopi, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples…

      Also, I think Hitler took the salute from this. Which is similar to the Roman salute.

      Hitler had no great ideas, he stole from everyone, and was overall a terrible person full of hatred. But, he did ban human zoos.

        Ok, how often do you see Hindus, Buddhists, Nepalese, Indians, Thai, Mongolians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, Akans, Hopis, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples spray paint it on walls or get it tattooed on their bodies in AMERICA? This isn’t any of those countries you listed. The next time I see someone with a swastika on their neck and a Nazi salute here in America am I supposed to assume it’s a peace loving Buddhist with an interest in Roman history?

          No, but if you see it from a person or that ethnicity and religious background, you shouldn’t assume it’s an ode to Hitler.

          You did not read a single thing I posted. I did not praise Nazism or Hitler. Your lights might be on, but no one is home.
