Heres the other photo that gets Weinsteins panties in a bunch. Note the SS on the stock of the rifle.

If there's an origin story that doesn't involve stupid racists appropriating Nazi military imagery for an American military community, I'm sure this will blow over.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

This is all kind of funny. I think these kids just don't understand the symbology. They just think it looks cool. A guy I know was designing a new "Badass" logo for a local @fit and came up with 2 offset stylized lightning bolts. It was different but just similar enough to raise the ire of the local non-gentile population. I asked if he understood what he was doing and he just blanked on me until I pointed out what it meant. The light when on and the solution was to knock it back to just one lightning bolt. It still drew complaints from people with nothing better to gripe about.

Weinstein is a fucking idiot. I don't care if they wear the Swastika, get your job done and decorate as you please. Getting wound up about this SS shit is on par with freaking about cartoon Mohammad.

Lets go with a different symbol !
The Swastika
The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit svastika (in Devanagari, स्वस्तिक), meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark
made on persons and things to denote good luck. It is composed of su- (cognate with Greek ευ-, "eu-"), meaning "good, well" and asti a verbal abstract to the root as "to be"; svasti thus means "well-being". The suffix -ka forms a diminutive, and svastika might thus be translated literally as "little thing associated with well-being".

The swastika symbol is one of the oldest symbols on the Earth and can be found in all religions and traditions, on all continents!

Did you suggest that he go with a 1%er image?

The SS were awesome. So they killed a few Jews. I don't advocate such atrocity but it doesn't take away from their awesomeness.

Yes.
That sentence is worthy of some serious pondering.

Even as zombies the SS are pretty dashing.

And let's be frank here, no other military unit ever inspired such brilliant exploitation films.

The whole Organization? or do you refer to the Waffen SS?

The Waffen SS was the Military Arm and many German units from the Army was absorbed into the Waffen SS. They were warriors, soldiers fighting for their nation. Most had alot of dissdain for the camp SS, considering them nothing more than sadist and cowards.

And SS Uniforms from Major and up were snappy and very expenssive for their time.

Kind of like the board shorts, vibrams and tribal tattoos of the 30s and 40s. Always be wary of the true believers.
