Y'all need to read up on what you're commenting about before making such ignorant comments.
I don't see any 'nazi' things...the Iron Cross is not a swastika.

With all due respect, those who wear symbols commonly associated with neo-nazi movements should not be surprised when their symbols cause people to associate them with neo-nazi movements. The iron cross is not a swastika, but the thing with the two lightning bolts is generally a symbol of some for of race-based hatred. Maybe its some sort of biker culture thing, i don't know, but the fact that a person would be inclined to associate themselves with nazi military elites doesn't really leave all that much room for interpretation.
This isn't at all to say that i disagree with the counter protesting.
