Quote:Bothell police say whoever spray-painted a Hindu temple with a swastika and the words “get out” may be responsible for a similar message at a nearby junior high school.
On Sunday morning, two swastikas were found spray painted on buildings at Skyview Junior High School, according to Bothell police. KIRO 7 saw graffiti that read “Muslims get out” near a swastika on the building.
Will the swastika ever return to its' original meaning? I did a mural on the wall of my 2nd bedroom that showed Ganesh trapping a storm spirit with one hand, holding his symbols in another, embracing the wall electrical socket with the third and holding up the fourth showing a right-facing swastika (crossed lightning bolts) on his palm, and the only thing that registered with people was 'nazi'. Yes, the elephant headed god of nazis - people, go figure.
