A man who allegedly displayed Nazi hate symbols by showing off his tattoos at a popular beach in New South Wales<\/a> has been charged.<\/p>\n Ben Parsons was at Bar beach in Newcastle on 24 December with his children, when he noticed a man with tattoos linked to white supremacist ideology, including symbols associated with the Nazi SS.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was speaking really loudly and just kind of being pretty obnoxious,\u201d Parsons, who lives locally, told Guardian Australia on Sunday.<\/p>\n \u201cHe turned around, and I just saw the tattoos on his leg.\u201d<\/p>\n Parsons said the man, who was with another woman and children, had a large white power tattoo up his calf, and the logo of the Schutzstaffel (SS), the Nazi regime\u2019s elite guard, responsible for atrocities during the Holocaust, near his ankle.<\/p>\n Parsons took photos of the man\u2019s tattoos. The man then made a white power signal and left the beach.<\/p>\n
