Federal agent's tattoo stokes fear

[douglas9]

A federal immigration enforcer’s tattoo that matches the description of a symbol used by white supremacists has caused some Vineyarders to sound alarm bells.

Islanders reviewing a video posted on social media by Charlie Giordano — who confronted federal agents while they detained immigrants on Martha’s Vineyard — have pointed to a tattoo of three interconnecting triangles on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s right tricep: a valknot.

The Anti-Defamation League characterizes the valknot as an “old Norse symbol that often represented the afterlife in carvings and designs.” While not a racist illustration on its own, the League stated that the symbol had been appropriated as a racist symbol by “some white supremacists, particularly racist Odinists.”

2. I guarantee he is not the only one

In fact, I suspect the MAJORITY of ICE thugs have similar tats and are closeted Nazis.

Cop: "Sir, do you know why I stopped you?"
Motorist: "Because you made C's and D's in high school?"

4. re: tattoos

People have so many damn tattoos now, it would literally take a rosetta stone to decipher what each one means on every person.

I remember one time years back, an acquaintance got a tattoo around his bicep with some Japanese lettering that he saw somewhere and he thought looked "cool"....Later on, he was at Disney World in Orlando and a Japanese person saw it and loosely translated it to him and his girlfriend and it meant "asshole".

5. White supremacist groups are gangs: violent & racist & against USA values. Deport violent gang members?

7. Well ICE is quick to make assumptions

about other people's tattoos, I guess it is only fair that the same be done to them.

That said, I have to wonder what kind of people would actually do the things required of ICE agents under Trump. They don't sound like people I'd like being around.
