LAME ASSHOLES!

Douche bags!

Whoever did this is an idiot but not for the reasons most people are bent out of shape.

Let’s be honest it was probably either some truant children or drunk frat boys. It’s a swastika. Something universally seen as unacceptable. The fact that a news organization came out to cover it only proves the point. How many swastikas have we all seen carved into bathroom stalls everywhere? Unless it was painted on a building that has something to do with the Jewish faith or ethnicity then it probably was not intended as a “symbol of hate”. The real problem here is that it something was vandalized.

The article also references the noose that was found in a tree at UC Santa Cruz. Same thing. Unless it was near a building that has something to do with African Americans then it’s also most likely not a “symbol of hate”. While growing up and participating in Boy Scouts we would everyone in a while tie a noose while playing with rope. None of us hate black people.

What I am getting at here is that symbols don’t hate indiscriminately. There has to be more. In today’s politically correct society people get bent out of shape at the slightest inkling that someone could be offended. I remember the very first OCMI team t-shirts that we had used an iron cross symbol. Someone brought up that it was a NAZI symbol. Having some knowledge on the subject I had to correct them in stating that was actually a symbol of the German military (still used) that had no association with the NAZI political party. It would be like grouping the US military and the Republicans together. Personally I think that instead of trying to wipe the world clean of these symbols why not change their meaning away from the hateful groups that used them.

I'm sticking to the theory that this is the work of a couple misdirected Buddhist thugs.
