      Right, but we’re talking about the people in this photo. Germans and Austrians know not to make nazi salutes because you could face legal repercussions. That’s a weird concept for Americans, though. I kind of wish we did jail more nazis, but that’s besides the point.

        Read the article. We are not just taking about the people in this photo, it was a video. And it’s a tiny town, probably no tourists there at all. You need to read the article before debating this stuff man. You’re speculating and theorizing over things that have clear answers.
