Link was here,

First of all it is NOT a Nazi cross but a Swastika.

Secondly: How could you possible know someone's convictions by only seeing him?

Thirdly: Please inform yourself a bit before posting those kind of comments, this should be helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S
wastika

thanks

mistermoule,
First of all, I never said that it was a Nazi cross, I just implied that the guy is a Nazi-wannabe idiot.

The Swastika is an extremely holy and auspicious symbol in Indian religions, especially in Hinduism. If the carving on his upper arm had any religious value it wouldn't have been made "out of boredom". He's just an idiot who wanted to look "cool and tough"!

Secondly, carving a potential hate symbol on your body because you are bored, says a lot about you

Thirdly, I'm quite informed in the field of Neo-nazism and Anti-fascism... 05

Have a nice day!
