Wow is all I currently have to say.

Conal International Trading, a California-based company, is recalling their Polar Fox boot after one of their customers posted a photo online that shows it leaving Swastikas on the ground.

That's just hilarious. It must take some pretty specific conditions to create the swastika.

(Incidentally, I think it looks far more like the "SS" symbol.)

Imagine a boot stamping a swastika on a human face - forever.

My first reaction was "Why don't they view it as stamping out the swastika and its ramifications?"

They can sell them in India. I'm sure they'd be good for when they're eating ice cream...

I was wondering if maybe the guy who designed the sole pattern was thinking of the left-handed "good luck" Swastika of many cultures and forgot that when it printed it would turn into the right-handed Nazi symbol.

Or something like that...
http://history1900s.about.com/cs/swastika/a/swastikahistory.htm

"Some cultures in the past had differentiated between the clockwise swastika and the counter-clockwise sauvastika. In these cultures the swastika symbolized health and life while the sauvastika took on a mystical meaning of bad-luck or misfortune."

The way I understood it for years, American Indian tribes regarded the left-turning one as good luck.  I'm sure I've seen blankets and the like with the left one woven in.

Could someone explain what "Industrial Uses" there are for Ice Cream?

My guess is that it means the commercial/business use rather than home purchase.

A pair of rubber bullets were also found at the scene.

I loved the comments from here:

https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/830939891156520960/photo/1

Especially the "T for Trump" one and the "C4" anarchist one.

Lotsa laughs.

Interesting that her initials, SS, stand for "Schutzstaffel."  Yikes !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel

The money quote from that:
Quote
Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organizations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state...

Keeping the faith there, Ms. Silverman?
