Munich police have confirmed that the case of a 19-year-old Afghan national who gave officers the Hitler salute, which is illegal, will be listed as a “right-wing” politically motivated crime.
The confirmation came on Twitter in response to a question by user @culinart who replied to a press release posted on the Munich Police account that described the incident in which the 19-year-old Afghan was arrested at Oktoberfest after giving the banned gesture on October 6th.

what was the Nazi salute before it became the Nazi salute?
A wave?

A Roman salute?

Bellamy was a socialist so it fits. Just another nutball who loves nothing more than seeing people “organized” and doing the same thing.
Hahahaha!! Narrative clash!!!
See this is another example of why it’s never been “right wing.”
Those who rewrite history are condemned to reread it.
The Nazis were socialists. Left wing.
“Hitler was not ‘right wing’. He was a die-hard socialist. Hated Christianity and the traditions of the Weimar Republic.”
Yes, as a National Socialist he was only to the “right” of the expansionist International Communists in the Soviet Union.
Good point. I guess that means we have to clear a spot at the table for him...
He had gotten away with rapes, beatings, and welfare fraud - he didn’t think a stiff arm gesture would be a big deal...
Merkle will go down in history in all the wrong ways.
