Default After complaint, tiny Swastika, NY, decides nothing wrong with town’s name

"The rural upstate New York hamlet of Swastika is keeping its name, despite a complaint that it symbolizes the hate and intolerance of the Nazi regime.

The unincorporated crossroads in the Adirondack Mountain town of Black Brook, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) south of the US-Canada border, has been known as Swastika for more than a century.

But town council members considered a name change after a visitor from New York City said it was offensive, and disrespectful to the memory of the World War II veterans buried in graves in the nearby countryside. Michael Alcamo said he was bicycling through the area this summer when he came upon Swastika."

Not too bad at the moment, winds have shifted so all the smoke from the fires in Mexifornia are staying in Mexifornia. But fire season isn't over yet. I hope some good citizens shoot any antifa shit that are caught starting fires.
