I think something this article missed is that the autism awareness tattoo, while looking absolutely nothing like a gang tattoo, does very much look like a pride tattoo, and we know these people are not only targeting immigrants (or people who look like immigrants) but also trans and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

would not be surprised if they started targeting autists though. be safe out there.

I don't see any pictures of the tattoo in the article. For anyone curious, this video shows the tattoo at about 2:15.

It's a colorful, twisted ribbon made of puzzle pieces. The name of his 15 year old brother, who has autism, is on the tattoo.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Obviously it's the rainbow. They thought it was an LGBTQ+ thing.

Yeaah, they knew that wasn't a gang tattoo.

Too colorful for the Magats, looks too close to a pride flag for their comfort.
