Not surprising. You can't even get your citizens to vote; what makes you think they'd care enough to buy and use a can of spraypaint?

Years and years ago I used to see them all the time in DC...that, or the three pronged swasticas (White power I think...), but nowadays DC is mostly swastica free.

When I visited Barcelona, there were hammer and sickles everywhere, along with pro-commie and anti-capitalist slogans...

I gotta admit I admire people who will vandalize property in order to leave a mark of their political views, especially when they do it when nobody else is looking and they don't identify themselves. It reminds me of the movie, "Falling Down"...
... a conversation between Michael Douglas and some gang members...

"This is private property, mayn..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see any signs or anything..."
(points to spraypainted gang sign) "What the f*ck do you call that?"
"Graffiti?"
"No mayn, that's not graffiti, its a sign that says no trespassing"
"That symbol says all that?"
"Yeah mayn, can't you read the f*cking sign?"
"Well maybe if you wrote it in f*cking english, I could f*cking understand it..."


ahh great movie..

I live in Upper MoCo. Tonight me and my friends went on a mission to smoke up by the Blair Witch town, Burkitsville or whatever. We started the smoking part a bit early, and ended up going in the totally wrong direction. The mission was a failure.

Then you haven´t looked hard enough They usually gets painted over in a few days but still...I´ve seen swastikas in Mariaplan, Vårväderstorget and Kålltorp (bakom Konsum) I´ve also seen a few in Bergsjön, Angered Centrum and Hjällbo as well... I don´t know if any of those are still there, but I doubt it.

Sonic, I don't think so. The arab world used to have a very warm relationship with the Nazis in WWII , but it somehow doesn't feel logical, nowadays.

The only place I've ever seen swastikas besides on TV and Movies is on Bikers. They like to wear German helmets as well, for some unimaginable reason.

Not exactly ideal motorcycle headgear.

Racists down here wear white sheets. Or paisley, if their mothers don't have solids.

I've not seen any swastikas where I live, but I have seen vegetarian graffiti (Meat is Murder), anti-Israeli graffiti (Stop Sharon), national liberation slogans (free catalonia) and anarchist symbols and slogans (free everyone).

Hmm...... It's interesting I saw some at my age while other older people(JohnT) have never heard one. Also scary that the people from the two German countries(Etch and Wern) see them, that must be especially scary for non-whites in those countries.

While West Germany is really nice, East Germany is a nightmare for anyone who doesn't look German.

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.

Yes, that's pretty horrid

But if you go to Switzerland you'll see swasticas and socialist spraypaint... Same with Roma, Italia.

In California the Asian kids liked to run around scribbling swastikas on walls and desks. They were probably just gang members who wanted the white gangs to get the sh*t beaten out of them by the black gangs because they were to ***** to do it themselves.

Well, I also saw swaistikas in Israel.

I know that extreme pals do that at times, but actually quite rarely as they try to appear politically correct.

But I have a feeling that some swaistikas here are drawn by stupid f*ck ass teens who think it's so funny or something, not actual racists.

anyway, they get sprayed over by police and covered in news.

I have a former friend who is racist, sadly. Wierd considering he's a jew, and he "laughs" about it.

He likes racist metal music.

He is a very stupid person, who needs some "anti-culture" to feel in place. So he uses brutal metal and white-power as those cultures.

That's merely one of the reasons I'm no longer associated with him.
