Are retirees moving to the new DTV visa - anybody done it?

The FBI said it is in contact with authorities in Las Vegas after a woman said her Jewish son, who has autism, had a swastika carved onto his back.

 

"We are aware of the incident and are in regular contact with local authorities.

 

If during the local investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal civil rights violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate," the agency said in a statement Saturday.

What exactly does 'etched' mean?  Is it drawn on his back or is it carved into the skin?

Does it really matter by what method a swastika is marked on the body of an autistic Jewish boy?

In both cases terrible, but if it's drawn it will physically come off easy.

I expect there are scars, perhaps not physical.

The OP has the source, sounds like it was actually carved into the skin, the mum mentions the "injury."

 

The teen, who is nonverbal and attends school with a service dog, returned home on March 9th with a Swastika carved on his back, his mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, told COLlive.com.

The boy’s mother said that she notified the school about the injury by email that night, but was told by her son’s shadow that “nothing happened at school,” she relates. The mother also discovered her son’s service dog’s equipment bag had been broken and resewn.

The FBI is currently investigating the incident as a suspected hate crime, YNet news reported.

The victim may have inadvertently messed it up by squirming as these nasty little racists cut into his flesh.  The cross and four legs of the symbol are easy to distinguish. 

 

I'm surprised and disgusted to see our resident right wing members cheering on/ playing down this sort of behaviour.  

 

May they hang their heads in shame.

I was just making the point that it may not have been a swastika, because it doesn't look like one .

  Can you understand what I am saying ?

Saying that It doesn't  look like a swastika certainly isn't condoning the action if it was indeed a swastika (or if it was a deliberate carving of an nature) .

   Can you understand what "It doesn't look like a swastika" means ?

Feel free to continue to bend yourself into this pretzel logic.  It does look like one, but perhaps not if you have the right political bent?

It looks like a Buddhist Swastika, rather than a Nazi Swastika

Buddhist swastikas came in various different shapes, unlike the Nazi Swastika that is quite specific .

   So it doesn't look like a Nazi Swastika , although it may slightly resemble one on the odd shaped Buddhist Swastikas

   Examples

Are you seriously suggesting someone etched a buddhist swastika onto a disabled jewish boys back in the US? While nazis are well known for their hate towards jews as well as disabled people? And that after saying it doesn't look like a swastika? Take a break and reflect.

No, I didn't say that someone may have etched a Buddhist swastika on a Jewish boy, my point was that it doesn't look like a Nazi Swastika .

   The boy always has a dog and a carer with him at all times , one of them must know something and the Police should interview them both (in separate rooms) and ask them about it .

Yea, the police should definitely interview the dog...

Show the dog a knife and see whether the dog either nods or shakes its head .

   Carer dogs are really clever these days 

[onthedarkside]

Please stay on topic, which is not about defining the difference between a Buddhist or Nazi Swastika but about the potential victim of a violent hate crime.

No, you were trying to minimize this attack on a child, and are continuing to do so.

 

Quit denying your blatantly obvious behavior.

They don't even know for sure that the boy was attacked.  No evidence of it at the school if you read the article.  

 

I understand that it vaguely resembles a swastika but there are no legs on the mark going up and down.

The truth of what actually happened matters a great deal.  To most people anyway.

Which is I guess why this thread is filling up with obfuscation…. From the usual corner.

The comment you replied to was simply asking what really happened.  I don't personally have an issue with that.

 

You might ask yourself why you do.

Why do you want to pretend that someone wanting to know what actually happened is in any way minimising what happened?
