(53,661 posts)C'mon guys, someone knows what that is. Aryan whatsis?
Other than that, I thought it was kind of cool, really. I like to wear a lot of black myself.

(53,661 posts)I had to weat a trench coat and a knitted cap and scarf last month and turn the heat back on. No sun either, not sure it exists, God wasn't paid, turned it off. Global warming, my ass.
Hey, at least I didn't have to pull the leather long coat out like I did last year on the 4th. Yup, I wear black almost all year, it's been like fall or winter or on a better day, spring.
Still I love it here, although the darkness wears after a while...

The Knight Templar cross/octagon, the KKK also use a red dot in the middle to signify the sacrifice and the blood of Jesus Christ. Notice how the shapes are triangles and form an optical illusion.
I will call this a vortex that visually draws the viewer inwards.
This is a hangover from the crusades and the KKK have taken and used the symbol and whereby the symbol/insignia was that of the Templar's , i.e. was the red and white cross that is hidden inside an octagon.
In addition, the Maltese cross (red and white/octagon) is also used as 'umbrella corp' in the video game Resident Evil.
So on one level the octagon is a 'temple' that symbolises/harnesses the fervour + magic + ability of the human being to manifest or battle other human beings,spirits, demons or monsters.

(32,723 posts)It's got a Knights Templar shield with crossed swords in a cross octagon.
Definitely White Supremacist / Nationalist with heavy dose of religion. Probably anti-Jewish as well.

(53,661 posts)He's just got a stick of some kind. I could shoot him easily. You don't bring a stick to a gun fight. If I was carrying a gun, that is.

(32,723 posts)Do you know how hard it was to find a picture of a gun nut with no gun?
freshwest
(53,661 posts)Fortunately, I restrained myself from saying something worse.
I've never understood the idea of feeling secure with a gun.

(32,723 posts)He'd obviously been at least lurking at the crazier websites to figure out what to get.
Then you've got the body armor and gas mask. Did he order that online or was it sold in a local store?
I'm wondering where he got the money. That's thousands of bucks worth of stuff. It was mentioned he couldn't find work.
I guess his folks were well to do and could have set him up with an account they replenished.

(32,723 posts)I understand his folks live in an upscale area and that kind of confirmed it. (Although their house looks like the typical recent tract homes on a lot barely bigger than the house)
I'm waiting to see if they run to FOX "News" to tell their story.

Hope that helps and have a nice day!

(2,104 posts)really 2 is where you'd see this 'guy' with the collapsible baton.
Oh and about James being dressed like a gun nut the media reported he was dressed like a swat team member so I guess they are all gun nuts with the ballistic helmets and the body armor much like soldiers and even 'regular' police that military up in that kind of gear.
