In neo-nazi symbolism HH (or 88) stands for Heil Hitler. The two 4's written as two bolts is the SS symbol. The CC I don't know, nor the significance of the other figures.

I just don’t buy it. He doesn’t look like a Nazi to me. The SS sign is a Germanic rune, not a 4, BTW.

The guy was apparently not a good enough neo-Nazi to figure out the most obvious symbol to use.

From what I can tell from the picture, the only thing specifically Nazi about that guy with his shirt off is that he’s white, and the two lightning bolt Ss. Though since those are in the middle of what looks like a word, I’m not sure that they’re meant to refer to the Schutzstaffel.

In the US the unintelligible scrawls on his body would presumably be protected by the 1st Amendment. I realize that doesn’t apply outside the US. But I find it intriguing that the author of this piece is incensed not by anything the guy may have DONE, but by his attempt at self-expression, however incoherent it might have been.
