FineWine:Trump tells voters to brave cold: ‘Even if you pass away, it’s worth it’
I saw a bumpersticker being sold. It's a variation of the "Punisher" skull. Note that cosplay expos, like the Armageddon expo in New Zealand, have banned wearing this after the Christchurch mosque shootings.
It's used by white supremacists, militias, and even some law enforcement units.
It's a symbol of vigilantism and violence: The Punisher is a fictional character from Marvel Comics who is known for his extreme methods of fighting crime, often resorting to lethal force. The logo has been embraced by some individuals who identify with a vigilante or "take the law into their own hands" mentality, promoting violence as a solution to societal issues. This association raises concerns about the glorification of violence and the disregard for due process.
The Punisher's logo has appeared on merchandise, uniforms, and equipment used by some law enforcement officers and military personnel. This adoption of the symbol has drawn criticism, as it blurs the line between fiction and reality, and raises concerns about the perception of law enforcement agencies aligning themselves with a character who often operates outside the boundaries of the law.
