The U.S. Coast Guard says it “removed” a member from its Hurricane Florence response team Friday after he made an “OK” hand gesture on live TV that the service branch deemed “offensive.”

This guy is going to be rich.

The lawsuits will be slam-dunks.

"The U.S. Coast Guard says it “removed” a member from its Hurricane Florence response team Friday after he made an “OK” hand gesture on live TV that the service branch deemed “offensive.”

This is Kafkaesque, i.e., in Kafka's book "The Trial," a man is arrested but is not told why he is being arrested or who ordered him to be arrested. The Coast Guard guy probably has no idea what he did that was deemed offensive. It looked like he was scratching his ear or adjusting his earpiece; he wasn't even looking at the camera.
