The incident was jarring for those who saw it in person, but it didn't even register a blip in the Capital Region at large Friday:

An unidentified man wearing a T-shirt with the Nazi swastika was seen walking in downtown Albany and inside Crossgates Mall.

But after the owner of Jay St. Video Games in the mall posted a message on Facebook saying he refused to sell a book to the man and ordered him out of the store, the topic exploded on social media platforms, generating thousands of comments on Reddit, and hundreds of retweets on Twitter.

Pictures of the man surfaced. The onslaught of comments was on. Thousands offered either salty language of praise about the man's ejection from the store, or debated what kind of protections are in place even for those who display hateful symbols....

Why is the face blocked out?

From the arm skin color and very stocky build, good chance the shirt wearer is black.

I would like to see an Injun (native American) wear a swastika (Indian - backwards) and watch the reaction of the SJWs.

Of course it was an obvious set-up. Brand new shirt, sandals, weird leather bracelet; just your typical neo-Nazi out shopping...lol.

Smells like a false flag operation to me too. If they thought he was a real right winger, they would not hesitate to show his face.

There was a guy in Sleeper (I think) wearing a shirt like that.

A woman was let go from the police force after they saw a photo of her wearing a t-shirt off duty that had a symbol connected to the “Proud boys.” That group is anti-Antifa at rallies. But the good old non partisan totally upright SPLC has supposedly labeled them a hate group or some such stupid thing and of course, they must be obeyed/s

The weaponized autists at 4chan/pol/ would dox the guy immediately just for the fun of tracking him down, if there was a good picture out there. And likely prove exactly that.

Alex Cox felt ok letting "Sid" run around in a Communist shirt.

It looks like a setup to keep “nazis” high up in liberal news media and social media buzz. You just need about 10 people to take photos of him walking around with his brand new swastika shirt for “confirmation.” As others mentioned, it’s all so convenient that every photo doesn’t show the face.

>>A photo taken by a patron at Crossgates Mall Friday, July 20, 2018 shows an unidentified man wearing a shirt that looks like the Nazi flag. (Provided)

How queer, the photo credit is simply “Provided”.

>>Hughes has also been the subject of conspiracy theories, since he sponsored the Facebook post like an advertisement.

Setup. WTF pays to make things go viral in Fakebook?

Only when you are selling something.

He did do that well in his own world, either.

I fail to see what the problem happens to be. I thought Dem/Progs all liked Socialism?
