Evidently, three were some units within the Nazi regime that used this symbol. I bet not 1 in 1000 people at this forum knew about that before this fake outrage campaign started. I certainly did not. And I have no reason to believe that Platner knew the history of this particular symbol. Tattoo artists are not exactly famous for their mastery of obscure German history.
We can't know to a certainly what was in Platner's head. I am inclined to believe him because, if not for a deep phobia of needles, I might have gotten that same tattoo.
On the other hand, we know for a certainty that Collins has supported our Trump neo-Nazi regime every step of the way. Has she ever cast a single vote against the SS (aka ICE). Has she ever even visited any of the concentration camps that our Nazis are building right now all over the country?
How ironic that people want to have a debate about some obscure bit of artwork, which Platner has repudiated, while saying nothing about the real Nazi actions taking place right in front of our eyes.
