Yeah that mugshot tells me most of the story

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 90 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

It's literally just a tattooed girl with dyed hair. You'd be more likely to see someone like her at an antifascist protest or a punk show than planning a neonazi massacre. Ask me to pick between that and a white guy in a polo shirt for which one is more likely to be a threat to society and it'd be the white guy ten times out of ten.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

Yeah I was just being snarky, you're absolutely right.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

the type of tattoos tell a very, very different story than punk or antifascist….
for example, tear drops tattooed on the face usually mean you’ve killed someone.
the style of tattoo, like Olde English 1992 suggests gangbanger… i wouldn’t expect her to be a nazi but, wouldn’t want to hang out with her at a punk show either.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You learn that on a true crime podcast or something? It's a relatively common tattoo (at least relative to face tattoos in general) and can have all kinds of meanings. You haven't cracked a secret code language.

The only thing you can read from this photo is she got tattoos on her face, so she probably wasn't planning to work an office job when she got them.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

awfully defensive, eh?

it’s not a secret code, bruh:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_tattoo
(in can mean other things, but a very crime/gang/prison thing)

just because you’re not in the culture, doesn’t mean all face tatts are equal, or that you have any idea what you’re talking about.

and i’m not against face tattoos, i am very against judging people based on their tattoos, and i know the difference between gang tattoos and other subcultures.

if i were a betting man, which i am, i would put my money on: she’s being railroaded because she has crimey tattoos (most tattoos aren’t related to criminal subcultures, hers are)
Anything i could glean from those is that she’s NOT the kind of person to support neo-nazi ideology and murder, but probably had a gun or two and ammo…

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz -4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

LOL. And are you "in the culture" after reading the Wiki page that specifically talks about how they can mean a lot of things and maybe none of them at all? Girls (and guys) get tears for all kinds of reasons, and jumping to "she killed people" or "she's in a gang", rather than "she's experienced loss" or "she's been abused" is the same level of tattoo pop-symbology that's labeling every brown man with ink as "MS-13".

Teardrop tattoos, so hot right now

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 18 hours ago

I dunno. I like tattoos a lot and think they can look great on people but these are hella questionable.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 18 hours ago

She looks like the women who ran the bakery at the grocery chain I worked for. She also looks like the head of logostics for the third party shipper we use though her hair is Manic-Panic Magenta and Blue .

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 44 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Reads headline "Huh?"

Sees picture "Oh."

Edit: oh my god it just keeps getting better.

She also found an "improvised explosive device" -- a mortar-style firework wrapped in duct tape -- among the boy's belongings, the affidavit noted. The explosive device had the words "For Brenton Tarrant," referencing the shooter in the 2019 mosque attack, along with multiple "SS" symbols and "14 words" -- referencing white supremacy -- written on it, according to the affidavit.

Somebody forgot to explain to this kid what the 14 words crowd think about Hispanics.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 22 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I want to know why it's so easy for some hispanics to become nazis. Like bruh, that ain't a tan, you ain't white. I got a half mexican uncle with a swastika tattoo and he does not pull it off, so what the hell?

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

They are shamed into wanting to be white

And they're close enough a lot of them pass

Just like asians

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Ok I've never heard of Asians passing as white.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I mean, if we're rich we're as white as we want to be.

That's how race works in this country:

If there's a chance that you're secretly wealthy and could ruin the career of a shitty cop, that's the criteria for being considered white.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 16 hours ago

The closest we get is being referred to as "one of the good ones" by the bigoted assholes.

It means 'half joking' but yours is funnier.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Hahaha! Oh, ok. Thank you for clarifying! 🤣

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I dunno, I thought the story was about lady Gaga before reading the headline.
