The flag used by the Third Reich was discovered flying in Washington Park on Monday. The US flag, originally hoisted atop of the flagpole, was found nearby, shoved into a corner of a band shell.
The Swastika banner was removed by police and taken in as evidence, local media reports.
No signs of vandalism were found at the scene, and no charges have yet been filed. The Laramie Police Department, nevertheless, is looking for the culprits and asking the residents for assistance. Locals are asked to inform the police of any suspicious activity relating to the flag incident.
Hate crimes are "pretty unique" in the area, and the officers are determined to investigate the case "pretty hard," Lieutenant Gwen Smith told Laramie Boomerang.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced the incident, with regional director Jeremy Shaver calling it "appalling and outrageous."
Laramie, the town of about 32,000 people, saw a similar case in February, when white supremacist and neo-Nazi fliers and posters were discovered at the local campus of the University of Wyoming.

2, Fascism-nacism of 3rd Reich is not ideology (Ideology is fiction created to hide 12 Subsequent Nuremberg Trials). It is political system. The system is in place till this days and it is in USA as well as arround the world.
Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social". In this days it is called CORPORATE WELFARE.

Every country has domestic and foreign policy. Fascism-nacism is domestic, while their foreign policy was IMPERIALISM. It was nothing new. Just because they lost so imperialists created some special fictional explanation.
Sounds like something out of National Lampoon's Animal House.

Its use here is indicative of the fact that some so-called white people would prefer to indulge in very speshul 'origin of species' fantasies rather than face everyday-present-and-correct-in-your-face-reality. Some so-called black people are prone to this kind of crap too.
