West Virginia prison staff suspended over Nazi salute



The image shows employees at the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation making the gesture below a sign that reads "Hail Byrd!", referring to a class instructor.
State Governor Jim Justice has called for the employees to be fired.

Officials have also informed faith and community leaders about the photo.

What do we know about the photo?

It shows around 30 blurred faces and appears to have been recently shot for the state's "Basic Training Class #18". The photo does not include names of the employees and the location is not known.

The class reportedly took place from 21 October to 27 November.

The text referred to a class leader, the state Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety said.

What has the reaction been?

"I condemn the photo of Basic Training Class #18 in the strongest possible terms," Governor Jim Justice told The Washington Post.
"I have directed Secretary Jeff Sandy of the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety to continue actively investigating this incident, and I have ordered the termination of all those that are found to be involved in this conduct."

Another sound example of the double standard.

Had it been a bunch of bruthas holding up the black power fist, it doesn't even make the news.

The U.S. Military Academy announced Tuesday that no punitive action will be taken against the cadets, according to a school press release.

Slavery claim is so 1850's...

Because the path to equality is to have different rules for different people, based entirely on the color of their skin.

Spoken like a true sjw masquerading as a libertarian.

Ah, the worn-out, over-used, "slavery" excuse to rationalize the racist behavior of black people.

The guy top left looks to be black?
Any who all this says to me is they had a class of extremely stupid people. With unemployment nearly down to 3% I imagine pickings are slim for a crappy job of that sort.

Uh, I didn't say anything about rules.  I agreed that it wouldn't make the news.  I do think it would make some news, but nothing like the white rednecks in Virginia.  

Of course, this fact isn't surprising to me because I recognize the the difference in meaning between these two things, so.......

Thanks, but we already knew that you were an idiot. This post is redundant

If you truly don't see the difference between those two, there's no way I, or most likely anyone else, will be able to enlighten you.
