See it's funny you say that. My neighbor had a pumpkin that I SWORE was two lightning bolts, til I looked at it properly and it was the KISS logo. And say what you want about being a KISS fan, it's a lot better than the conclusion that was initially reached. Benign explanations for things exist, and you have to look at more than a license plate to get an idea of someone's beliefs.
it's an even more ignorant ass person who ignores cultural context. i see a white person in the us waving around swatstikas and 88 i'm not going "well, in india and china..."
Sure sure. Unfortunately, this photo doesn't have any of them. We have a license plate, with the words "BOOG88" from Indiana. Sure, it COULD be a reference to the two things OP alludes to. Or it could be someone born in 88 who loves the movie Open Season, or any of a dozen other rational explanations that don't lead to blind hate. Innocent until PROVEN guilty and all that jazz.
