After I read your post, I thought about it.
I use my left hand, too. I'm not left handed!

Has to be home environment. How else could a kid that age be so radicalized already?
Lock him up.

(64,988 posts)Severe rationing in WW1. Lots of heads of households killed. Loads of single parent families.
The Versailles penalties causing shortages & rampant inflation.
Then, the Depression.
I think many of those families, and the kids, were more susceptible to radicalization. There truly were some very tough times.
Either of those kids look like things had things terribly rough? Have they gone hungry for an extended period of their lives?
Given the time period, and this country vs. 1930s Germany, I think it's harder to explain this form of radicalization.

(11,627 posts)When they are all aiming the circle away from the camera and the "W" directly at it. Have you ever seen anyone signal ok with the O facing perpendicular to the viewer the way Perdue is holding his hand in the picture?
ProfessorGAC
(64,988 posts)The "o" has to be showing. They're clearly showing a "w".
