	I saw a spraypainted Swastika today Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I was out driving today, and by the side of the road I saw a couple of road signs that some people had spraypainted Swastikas on. This is the first itme I've ever seen anything like this in my life. What makes this even worse is this was in a neighberhood with a large Jewish community.

Sick bastards.

You've never seen a spraypainted Swastika? Boy, I see it every other day, I mean it.
Maybe you guys over there have far too many religious nuts but not having many spraypainted Swastikas is a bonus.
Where in the US do you exactly live?

I was once in Spain and I can tell you many signs there are spraypainted in Soviet symbols for some reason. I don't know why but it seems to be quite popular to spraypaint signs those days . However i believe most of these people who are painting the signs considering that as a joke. Most of them maybe are teenagers and you know people just wants to differ from others at that age. I just don't imagine old, clever person painting swastika on roadsigns because of his political views. if I'd be fascist, I'd instead try to make other people believe into my political views by discusing to them, not by painting swasticas.

In Lithuania I once seen a spraypainted sign on a wall with swastica and words "Lietuva - Lietuviams" ("Lithuania for the Lithuanians"). This was I believe a joke since there are not so much Lithuanian patriots now remaining (I am one of them ), not talking about fascists.

More annoying thing in Lithuania is that some stupid people, mostly Russians, waves Soviet flags in Lenin birthdays. Swastica flag waving in Hitler's birthdays was also not unusual (there were about 1-2 flags in Vilnius each birthday), but now government put a low forbiding use of swastica, so people no more does that. Not long ago one cinema put huge poster with swastica as advertisement for their new movie, but police told to remove that, so a flag waved for only 3 hours.

Haven't seen one round here at all. Although around the time of the 2001 election I saw a couple of hammer and sickle signs with a rifle next to them and 'don't vote' spraypainted on a few signs.

For some reason I found it very funny that some little Stalinist group exists in Yeovil

I have seen painted swastikas very often in Europe, but I have yet to see one in the US for 8 years.

Can't say as I've ever seen a spray painted swastika. Neither a spray painted hammer and sickle.

Amazing that some speak as though it's a common occurrence....

It's very common in Europe. At my high school, there is at least one in every restroom.

I saw one on my college campus. I spit on it, and told the campus cops. A few days later it was painted over, but it was never reported in the school's newspaper. In fact, a few semester's later an article about grafitti pointed out that the campus has had 'no' acts of vandalism via grafitti in the past xx years.

"Where in the US do you exactly live?"

Maryland, near the D.C. border

"However i believe most of these people who are painting the signs considering that as a joke. "

Well, it's not a funny joke. It's a good thing we have hate crime laws, hoepfully someone will turn the spraypainted in and he will go to jail.

Never seen one either, except in the movies. Same thing with a spray-painted hammer and sickle... but some kid who'd actually paint one of those would be mecilessly teased - and rightfully so.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Hate crime laws seem a little superfluous, if I may go off-topic for a moment. Murder is murder, no matter why you did it, and swastika or rainbow, this is still graffiti, is it not?

Either way, I am glad that, at least where I live and where I have been, I haven't had to see it.

Bratty punk kids just spraypaint these things because it gives them a sense of power and importance, despite the fact that they are utterly useless beings, and should be terminated immediately...

Most of the grafitti here is people's initials or the name of their crew or some ****... Some professional taggers get hired to put up something fancy on the wall of a 7-11 or some ****.

The only Swastikas i see are carved into the desks at schools. I first noticed them on a couple desks in this one school i went to for some program. It was an almost entirely black school so I guess Farrakhan was getting in the heads of some of the students


thanks

Now that I think about it, can't say as I've seen graffiti even remotely political in the States. Only the stuff that Speer talks about.

When I visited Rome, I saw a lot of pro-Communist graffiti that nobody had thought to clean up.
