Not so freepless here sometimes

Jay Trinidad, a professional photographer who lives on Bainbridge Island, was on his way home on Thursday evening when he saw a man with a red swastika armband sitting in the passenger waiting area of the downtown Seattle ferry dock. He took an extraordinary photo of the man.

They did not exchange words. "I was walking around the terminal and then I saw him," Trinidad told me today. "I'm like, 'He's really doing that? Today?' There were people sitting next to him. There were a lot of people around. It just struck me as bizarre... Here's a guy with Nazi armband and no one is pointing and saying, 'What is going on there?'"
......

What struck me about this was the complete brazenness on the day the whole country was learning about Charleston," Trinidad said. "It struck me as him basically sticking his middle finger up to everyone who could see him."

1. He probably lives a miserable life. It must suck to constantly live your whole life filled with hate

It must be exhausting.

2. yep, the hate is toxic through and through. n/t

3. I would not have approached him as would've feared him. I might've asked a ferry worker about

him. I'd certainly have kept an eye on him though.

4. I sure as hell wouldn't have got on the ferry!

It's only a matter of time.

5. Nazi got exactly what he wanted. Exposure.

[gratuitous]

6. Good for him

I really don't care what in-bred, stone-brained dumbasses like Mr. Nazi think, say or do. As long as their insanity doesn't become the official stand of my government, let him stew in his own hateful juices.

7. Straight out of Central Casting

or a comic book. Creepy.

8. My Grandfather

Used to so this. He would wear Nazi armbands on Jewish holidays. Piece of shit.
