Encouragingly, someone used black to cross out the "SS" lightning bolt tag in yellow chalk on the wall next to the pay phone on Lincoln Street, and wrote “Kill Nazis” underneath. It is a good practice to cross out racist and nazi graffiti, even if it is written in chalk. Crossing out racist graffiti allows passerby to see that there is that element out there, and also opposition to it, whereas merely covering it up makes the problem invisible.
For those unfamiliar, "SS" refers to Nazi Germany's Schutzstaffel, the paramilitary force that ran the concentration camps (among other functions), and is a common Neo-Nazi symbol.

Yeah, I thought not.
Once I was at a central valley freeway reststop and I was wearing a german t-shirt and an ex-soldier who had been stationed there greeted me in german. He had a tattoo like that, but he wasn't necessarily saying anything bad in our conversation. I believe he was camping at the reststop. It wasn't quite like that ZZ or SS shape though and I couldn't find the exact one in the list of symbols.
