SAN FRANCISCO (J. The Jewish News of Northern California via JTA) — Why was a Nazi flag hanging on the wall inside a California parole office over the weekend?

The state’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has launched an investigation to find out.

An anonymous video uploaded Saturday on Imgur, a video and photo sharing website similar to Instagram, shows a red Nazi flag with a black swastika in the center visible through the window of a CDCR office in downtown Sacramento. The video also shows what appears to be a second flag, black with SS bolts, hanging below it.

“This is a trashy way to represent this beautiful city, especially in a state building,” a caption on the online post read.

By Tuesday, the video had been viewed more than 23,000 times.

2. The Nazi flag was not the only wall decoration seen in the video

The Nazi flag was not the only wall decoration seen in the video. Also visible was a “Thin Blue Line” flag — a black-and-white version of the American flag with a blue line that represents law enforcement. Its popularity grew around the time of prominent demonstrations against police brutality in Baltimore, Ferguson and elsewhere. The flag is often associated with the Blue Lives Matter movement.

4. My understanding

That this was confiscated by the officers. The Aryan Nation is a very active prison gang. Parolees cannot associate with gangs.

The officers allegedly took it from a guy they sent back to prison and hung it up as an example of how stupid the parolees are without themselves thinking how it would look to outsiders.

Stupid, yes. But I will admit that, after WWII, we had all sorts of Nazi garbage we took from unrepentant Nazis in occupied Germany all over our barracks as prizes.
