He was probably short, too.

Can Hindus be Nazis? I'm thinking there was just something wrong with him at a basic level.

Perhaps you should look up where the swastika -originally- came from.
Before it was appropriated.

Perhaps we all likely know the long history of the Hindi symbol, and recognize that when it is sewn into a patch with a war eagle, and then said patch is sewn on to a uniform which was then handed to an SS officer who wore it while committing atrocities, and then was handed down back and forth, over and over until an unstable jackass put it on to complete his look for his "event"...by then, there is nothing Hindi left in that symbol.

Perhaps.

He is of Asian Indian decent and a Hindu. He was wearing a Nazi uniform when he committed the shooting.

Nazi Hindu
Actually, I think we're ASSUMING his Hindu, based on rash and unfounded assumption of his skin color, name and the apparent country or region of origin of his father.

Now, I'm cool with rash assumptions, don't get me wrong...I just don't *know* that he's a Hindu.

I do *know* that he's a jackass though...

Well aware. I worked in India and Pakistan for a couple of years. The Control room had "good luck" Swastikas where ever equipment had been recently started up.

Of course they were "backwards" from the German one, not rotated 45 degrees and had a couple of dots in places. They usually were finger painted.

So according to the title of the thread the shooter drove a Boxster.

So he was a hairdresser?
