:picard:  
How long and from what rock did this guy just crawl out from under?  
He claims to have not known who Hitler was, but conveniently uses the Swastika in the logo AND says that it was a nickname given to the grandfather of his store partner because “he was very strict”.:ham:

Our very own Buffalo City hall has markings of the swastika on the ceiling, its origin dating back to the Senecas who viewed it as a symbol of peace. Some of these markings have been ‘erased’, however a few are left in tact.

^^This. The “Swastica” as it became known by, used to be the buddhist symbol for peace. The Nazi political party perverted it and adopted it as their own…

I wasn’t aware of that, nor that the Nazi’s stole it.

All in all, Hussein, Bin Laden, Hitler, among a few others are not names I would choose for any store.
