"This is Amerika!"

[alphaboi]

Walking into work what did I see? A bald white guy with a black tee-shirt with a swastika on it! He was a f_cking Nazi! I felt rage (best way I can describe it). I understand that he has a right to free expression, but men like him slaughtered most of my grandmother's family. I told our SM as I came in. A few of cusomers started coming up to complain/alert us. We don't have a dress code for customers (other that shirth & shoes) per se, but managment has the power to eject people if they're wearing something obscene or offensive. As a took over the SCOs I saw him come out of an aisle and SM approach him;

SM: Sir, I have to ask you to put a jaket on or leave
FN: Uh, why?
SM: Sir, you're shirt is obscene. It's disturbing the other customers.
FN: So, this is America, I have my 1st amendment rights (ironic). I'm an American!
SM: You are on private property and we reserve the right to refuse to anyone. I have to ask you to leave.
FN: F_ck you! You f_cking k_ke! I have my rights!
SM: Leave now or I'll call the police!
FN: Fine, I'm leaving. I'm glad f_cking Israel is going to be destroyed! The war's coming!

He left. He does have a right to wear it, but I don't have to treat him like anything other that the walking excrement he is. Nine hours later and it still gets me mad.

You should have told him that historically any nation or people that have stood against Israel or tried to destroy it have pretty much had their asses kicked sooner or later.

Now maybe that's not proof enough for everyone that the Jews are truly God's chosen people, but it's enough proof for me.

Don't mess with God's folks or you'll get yours...lol

SOme friends and I went to Wal-Mart last month and there was a guy dressed the same way. He looked to only be like 20 or so year old punk and just looking at him kinda pissed us off to. So we did the only thing we could think of laugh and point at him, for some reason I dont think he liked haveing 3 white guy do that because he kinda ran away. lol

Suddenly I'm reminded of an American Dad quote (from memory after a few beers, so probably not exactly correct):

Nazi: "This is America, I have freedom of speech! What is this, Nazi Germany? Oh, wait, that'd be sweet!"

Cop: "What should we do, Officer Goldberg?"

But seriously, if I saw that kind of crap I would refuse to serve him, no matter what management says. I will not serve hate. Nazis should be shot in the back of the head and thrown into a ditch, and I wouldn't shed a tear.

Just because he happens to have that symbol on his shirt doesn't make him a Nazi. With that theory then you must hate all German people, so that means you hate me. You shouldn't really generalize people like that, it's unfair to the majority. I have a friend in the States that is into Communism, as in, he likes to talk about it and read about it and stuff, but that doesn't make him a Red or a Commie.

"but men like him slaughtered most of my grandmother's family"
Doubtful. It's only a symbol. Now if it was tattooed on his arm, then you'd have an actual claim. And by the way, many of the men who became SS Officers in WWII did so because they didn't want themselves or their families to be killed for disobeying orders and/or being a "jew-lover" (read on Google). Only a select few actually took joy in watching those poor people being put to their deaths and such.

Yes, the First Amendment still applies here. He has a right to free speech and to believe what he wishes. As does everyone else in any civilized nation, as long as it doesn't interfer with the rights of others.

EXCUSE ME! I am a German-American. The swastika is not a symbol of Germany! It's actually illegal in Germany. He didn't have the German flag or eagle. He had the swastika in a white circle, exactly like the Nazi flag. Care to explain why someone be wearing a Nazi symbol, using anti-semtic slurs, and expressing a desire for Israel to be destroyed if they weren't a Nazi (or at least shared their ideals) CanadaGirl? I stated that he had a right to wear it, but I also have a right to express my utter comtempt for him.

I'm of German descent as well, and seeing something like that would have me reeling! . Someone who idealizes them by displaying their symbol so prominently would definitely not put them on my "good boy" list by any means. It's a hated symbol, and people who wear it are just asking for trouble.

Yes, as it has been said, people do have the freedom of self-expression, but don't forget that if they piss the wrong people off, THEY have the freedom of expression to beat the crap out of that symbol and contents within. It goes along with just about any expressionism out there, really.

I'm also of German descent, and I am also disgusted.

He's just one of those people who thinks it's still 1945........people like that need to get over it already.

Umm...yes it does. No one else would wear a t-shirt with a freakin' swastica on it. I wish to preface my statment by saying that I by no means think you, personally are dumb, but frankly that was the stupidest comment I have heard all week.

FYI, the swastika has existed long before Adolf was ever born and is still a religious symbol in many religions.
