      In the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie Casey Jones asks Raphael if he’s some sort of punker, and then states that he hates punkers.

      I watched that movie WAY too much as a kid.

      “Punk rockers” was definitely a thing. I read “punker” as a shortening of that.

          Rollins is an advocate for the legalization of cannabis.[110] Rollins has stated he does not personally consume cannabis[111] but views the issue as an important matter of civil rights,[112] arguing that its illegality is based in “bigotry and racism and financing the prison–industrial complex”.[113] Rollins has shared his views on the subject as keynote speaker at the Oregon Marijuana Business Conference and the International Cannabis Business Conference.[114][115][116][117]

          In August 2015, Rollins discussed his support for Bernie Sanders as a candidate in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[118]

          How come I can only find pics of this tattoo in Sons of Anarchy screencaps?

          It couldn’t possibly have been makeup for the television show about a fictional biker gang where he was playing a fictional high ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang named AJ Weston, could it?

          I’m gonna need proof that this guy, who espouses anti-racist and anti-fascist principles with his words all the time, actually has this tattoo outside of hollywoodland, or I’m inclined to say “nuh uh.”

          (Pretty sure the upside down peace symbol is makeup too actually since I can’t find that either. The Black Flag, Misfits, creepy crawl spider, Einstürezende Neubauten symbol, and Raw Power are however real.)

          (Also I just noticed your name is a play on SatansMaggotyCumfart and, Bravo, flawless execution).

              Yeah, but afaik it’s an experimental music group from the 80s that just happens to be German by nature of “being born in W Berlin post-war.” I’m semi familiar with them but I just gave their wiki a quick search for “controversy” and unless you know something me and wiki don’t, them being German isn’t enough especially considering the founding members weren’t even born until the 50s, I’ll give them a pass for being -12 and -14 when the war ended.

              What’re we just claiming everything German is WWII even after WWII? Fuck Can, Kraftwerk, Amon Duul II, Neu!, and all that? No thanks, I’ll cede my nationalism to you since I don’t need it.

                I probably should have realized this wouldn’t be taken as a joke, but Einstürzende Neubauten has literally nothing troubling in their history regards to race afaik. I just happened to recognize their symbol.
