I'll bet those little Nazi bastards use the JC Penny tea kettle too! Curse you Nazi's!

Ya, they were all just waving totally synchronously and it just randomly happened that the picture snapped when their arms were all up and it was a really high resolution camera, so there was no blurring of hands as they were moving back and forth.

That's a shutter speed thing, not a resolution thing (yes, I'm a camera N**i).

I think there's an "it's funny to be a Nazi" thing and then there's a "let's make fun of being a Nazi" thing. The former is an okay kind of thing, but what is going on with the latter? Being a Nazi isn't fun. It's derision-worthy. We have a problem right now with our culture where things are moving in the wrong direction, with this stuff being normalized ala "there are good people on both sides." I doubt most of these kids are Nazis but participating in this culture shift is not a good thing. If some people see them as budding Nazis and others retort with "you just hate white males. Nanny nanny booboo," that's not a good direction for society either.

So your counter argument is that Hitler is characterized so often? And you are comfortable with that?

Huh???

Of course shutter speed can freeze motion, but it can't synchronize the wave so everyone's hands are in the same position.

The parent who took a photo of Wisconsin high school boys giving what appears to be a Nazi salute on the steps of a local courthouse said Tuesday he was simply asking the teens to wave goodbye to their parents before they headed to prom and never anticipated the image would draw widespread condemnation.

So now they're lying about it. Cowards.

Well now, that's disturbing. Nazis are now becoming the counterculture cool thing to be, as these kids have no real appreciation for what Nazis really were, and just see everyone slightly out of line being called Nazis.

Been happening for a while buddy. Frankly you have not been paying attention. I guess now it is evil to call kids out when they are being arseholes, by your estimate.
