Are those the hammers from Pink Floydâs âThe Wallâ?
Funny how, during one of his previous arrests for stealing a bag of potato chips, the cops managed to not kill him even though he had a loaded gun on him.
I miss phrenology.
I immediately thought the same thingâŚ
Pretty close
Holy crap, I think youâre right or close enough to cause confusion!
So, itâs NOT an act of terrorism then. A crazed lone wolf⌠move along folks, nothing to see here!!! /s
Interesting that in his current booking photo, he has grown back his eyebrows and is sporting a goatee as if to say, âJust kidding about those few prison tatts . . .â Too bad he didnât consider a neckbeard.
Mindless fascism imitating a hyperbolic metaphor for mindless fascism.
I canât help but see this through the lens of race and terrorism. If this guy was brown, or even a member of a group sympathetic to brown people, we wouldnât be seeing pictures of him in high school or talking about how he became a racist - weâd be fucking freaking out and instituting martial law and taking off our underpants at border crossings.
âTake the SkinHeads BOWLINGâ
I always felt Alan Parkerâs direction and Gerald Scharfeâs animation (not to mention the music) were a little too effective at conveying the potential for drama and excitement in fascism and its iconography.
He may have learned, possibly the hard way, that even shitstains have standards, of a sort, and that the most ardent and antisocial young men associated with ethnic nationist groups(or violent organizations in general, really) are valued more or less exclusively as cannon fodder, blunt instruments, and low-rent martyrs, not participants with actual futures.
The full-prison-tats-and-lots-of-vaguely-runic-lettering look suggests a promising role getting chewed up in some sort of relatively ill considered violence; but Iâm guessing that it may hurt the chances that some cute âaryanâ girl wants you to be the future of her white children; which might get to be a downer after a while.
The white power types seem to have a particular problem with this because (as anyone who has been paying attention has probably noticed) the people with really serious white power are mostly busy wearing suits and occupying positions of power, influence, and wealth; not engaging in garish proletarian violence, so the people willing to make a lot of noise about âwhite powerâ, rather than simply enjoying the slice of it they have, are not the prized specimens. This doesnât keep them from being dangerous; but it makes the parts of their program that arenât more or less nihilistic violence fairly impractical.
That brought me in here as well.
According to wikipedia:
Although the symbol of the crossed hammers was a creation of the film and not related to any real racist group, it was adopted by white supremacist group the Hammerskins in the late 1980s
I always knew there was a reason to hate Pink FloydâŚ
I bet they didnât jump on the âinternetâ thing until after all the three-letter domain names were already scooped up.
Plus, whenever people do a Google search for organizations related to terms like âGrand Dragonâ or âCyclopsâ or âImperial Wizardâ the top results usually just point them to role-playing clubs with better social activities and cheaper dues.
I am not surprised, he is white. This is what the recent shootings show. I could understand a cop looking at this guy and thinking he my be a threat, and may have a weapon. The black teenager with his hands in his pockets on a 30 degree day probably is just cold.
It was called the Nation German Socialist Workerâs Party. You might say heâs a traditionalist.

Iâve actually done this⌠with SHARPS at least and some punks. Or rather, they took me bowling. It was quite fun.
