    However, tribute pictures posted by a man named Gary Brewer on his obituary page show that the father of three had a full Adolf Hitler face tattoo on his chest.

    The images were captioned ‘Bolted for Life’ and featured the two stark S’s in the form of lightning bolts - suggesting he may have been a white supremacist and pro-Nazi.

    May have. Maybe.

      I know the Daily Mail is a British publication so they need to be more careful about libel, but it’s kinda crazy that the fucking Daily Mail is being so careful not to explicitly call him a nazi or white supremacist when he had a full on tatoo of Hitler on his chest, but so many actual generally respected papers here in the US have basically straight up called Mangione guilty. When the Daily Mail is doing a better job than you at something you should probably reflect lol.

        Magione was arrested wearing the same scarf/gator, same fake ID, cash, same gun that was used, matches the footage, and had a manifesto claiming responsibility. I know everyone has been circle jerking about him, but I’m going to bet the case will be pretty quick.

      It could theoretically be possible that he renounced his views and just hadn’t been able to remove / cover up tattoos, so when writing the article they need to account for that (remote) possibility.

        I’mma go out on a limb here: white nationalist Nazis who are so deep into it that they get mad Nazi tattoos all over their chests and then renounce those views don’t pose for pictures with no shirt on.
