A swastika and other things mentioned have no place in Western culture - at all. Sad to hear about that in Austin.

That said, an interesting side note is that the symbol is also prevalent in Tibetan Buddhism and many minority/ethnic cultures in SW China - has absolutely nothing to do with Nazism. Very strange to see it everywhere in my city, but it has nothing to do with what it stands for in the West. A good of mine here who is in his 40s has the symbol prominently tattooed on his arm, though he doesn't associate it with any of that crap.
