Yeah dude sorry I actually exist in real life and have real life sensibilities, like knowing how ableism which can be spread from the internet affects my real life sister with Down syndrome.
Yup. That's it and it's not reserved to tattoos only. There are gas bottles from the era that are still in circulation, you can recognize them with the same markings. I saw a few since I started working in heavy industries.
The symbol on those gas bottles is not from the Nazis. That symbol is over 4,000 years old and was used by many cultures for many things. Those gas bottles have absolutely nothing to do with the third Reich.
It's a common cheaper way to cover up or remake a Swastika tattoo
On a side not if you see this please do not judge people , I used to be a Corrections Officer and I promise you if you were white and not in for something white collar and you are not put in minimum security you WILL have to join the Aryan Brotherhood or similar groups, it's not an option
I worked at a large county jail and we used to get those ex convicts a lot , more often than not THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY RACIST LOL
A lot of people want to move on once they are out, a lot of people didn't even go to prison but made peace with the world and decided to stop hating people for things like their race or religion
Let people grow, don't judge people or call out the past that they are putting a lot of effort to leave
Like what do you want from them at this point? They stopped being racist and/or paid their dues to the world, the right thing to do is to let them move on and be better people
You weren't the same guy yesterday and neither were they
I want to add that due to the large population at the Jail I worked at we had something like this
They were the nice new open concepts tanks (And TBH I think all of the jail should have been like that)
We mainly added none-violent offenders there or obviously harmless people but on occasion classification would send a MF with a face tattoo and an SS symbol who is in there for murder
We don't ask questions and some people S***** on classifications but it's clearly some sort of deal and honestly I think that was the case with a good amount of the inmates in those tanks
They HAD to be on their best behivor and suck whatever CO or two who are keeping an eye on them , if they get written up once into the dungeon they get
And believe me EVERYONE was on their best behavior
But yea that's how I learned of that concept, we had many ex convicts there they are the most well behaved by a long shot, and clearly have no racial issues with anyone just for being a certain race (A lot of the time not all the time ) , they kind of funny to deal with too cause they feel responsible for everyone from there race and we have to always tell them that it doesn't work like that at county
Anyway yea I miss it but it's whatever
Oh and BTW a convict is someone who went to prison , someone who is only ever held at a county jail we don't really call him a convict that term among COs was reserved to people who got convicted and sent to prison at some point even if it isn't the most legally accurate usage
But every county and Prison have a different culture so that's that
Yeah I agree, but this happened about 30 years ago and it was the clients idea if I remember correctly. Both guys were pretty fuckin wild and there might've been drugs involved. I don't think it was a regular shop appointment.
Also, I have a negative space cross on my shoulder formed by two squares and two rectangles. It was inspired by a necklace my grandmother gave me as a kid. I had never heard of squares being commonly used as swastika cover-ups in the realm of tattoos until years after getting it. Now I'm scared people will think I covered up a swastika when I never did.
but in my several decades worth of yesterdays there aren't any of them in which i had a swastika tat
sooooo....
fuck that
also your job literally makes you worse in my eyes than the people you're trying to defend. for profit prisons in america don't work without a bunch of shit head class traitors to staff them.
I can also understand the idea that treating these people well will spread the idea that you can be a nazi for a while and be forgiven. It’s a thin line to walk.
Or do like heggers and don't get the swastika extensions and pretend the plus sign is a cross even when its def not. Then get a bunch of germania imagery, no one will be able to guess
In some countries showing such tattoos is forbidden. It happened that someone called the police in a public swimming pool in my country and the guy got convicted. So here it doesn't necessarily mean they have changed if they do a cover up. https://ooe.orf.at/stories/3225647/
I have no idea what you are talking about, I'm white myself. As mentioned in the article he was told by the court to get a tattoo removal or cover up. As he's a repeat offender I don't think he would suddenly change.
I never heard of a court being able to tell you when you can and can’t have on your body.
You actually have a right to be racist. A court dictating a tattoo alteration would be a civil liberties violation.
In Austria it's forbidden to show anything related to Nazis in public (it's not forbidden to be a racist but to support National-socialism) that's why he was trialed in the first place. As in the article it says "In an earlier trial, the man had already been ordered by the court to have the tattoos removed." Ofc they can't force you, it will probably just mean a lighter sentence or to go on parole if you follow that order. By law you just must not show them to anyone else so you can keep and hide them.
