Translated it into English.. So what cross Tattoo are they on about a real Swastika or some Kind of Nordic Cross.. Maybe blown up as something else. Not saying they were innocent but ya know
A croix gamée is a swastika.

Ok..translated it was not clear. I know people with Nordic Tattoos who like the Nordic Viking thing. Neo Nazis do use certain Tattoos.A croix gamée is a swastika.

mate ..even the British flag is seen as "Racist" in the UK. Bollocks.. i say I got my country flag on my arm & proud.Yep. Unfortunately, there's a lot of symbols that have been hijacked by extremists. Hell, even the fleur-de-lis supposedly has extremist connotations in France; over here, it's seen as regional/cultural pride thing. They're a very common tattoo from Mobile to Laffayette. Kind of glad I never got one; not sure how the French would view it.

I remember when I was on a social Media site on an Ex British Army site(was a couple of brits Ex Legion on their too) & one guy had a Flag Pole in his garden with the Union Jack... The Local Council told him to take it down...he refused. I can remember in School the janitors put the Union Jack up & you had to show respect. Was a recent Video of a guy getting kicked out a boxing Match for wearing a Union Jack waistcoat. Notice the pakistani ??.. Members of the security who seemed to be offendedThoroughly agree in regards to the Union Jack or St George's cross. I mean, the Klan uses the US flag,too, but that doesn't mean that it should be banned or that any one who flies it likes to burn crosses on their free time.
But the Fleur-de-lys hasn't flown over France since 1830 at the latest, and as LPC confirmed, it's considered an extremist symbol over there. Which makes sense; in France, it was always associated with the monarchy, not the people.
It's weird, in a way, that over here, the FdL has morphed into a symbol of the French people/French heritage. And they're everywhere in Louisiana and coastal Mississippi or Alabama... Particularly in New Orleans. Take a stroll down the ol' Rue Bourbon and they've got more Royal French flags than an Action Francaise rally:
Over here, it's cool. Over there, maybe not. Especially if I got pegged by the gestapo as a possible right winger for bringing my happy a$s over to Aubagne sporting, of all things, a big f*ck off Fleur-de-lys tat.
Who pulling out those retarded decisions?I remember when I was on a social Media site on an Ex British Army site(was a couple of brits Ex Legion on their too) & one guy had a Flag Pole in his garden with the Union Jack...

And here is the article: Nîmes : ex légionnaires condamnés pour violences racistes

It doesn't say what he died of.https://www.midilibre.fr/2019/01/23/la-legion-etrangere-a-perdu-lun-des-siens,7968913.php
La Legion etrangere a perdu l'un des siens
Le 9 janvier, la 13e DBLE (demi-brigade de Légion étrangère) rendait les honneurs militaires au caporal-chef Michel Biega, décédé le 28 décembre 2018, à La Cavalerie, à l’âge de 57 ans et plus de 28 ans de service à la Légion étrangère, au 2e REI, au 3e REI et au 1er RE notamment, ainsi bien sûr qu’à la 13e DBLE. Ses camarades étaient présents, ainsi que de nombreux Cavalériens, dont le maire François Rodriguez et des élus municipaux, pour lui rendre un dernier hommage.
Le caporal-chef Biega était l’un des premiers légionnaires arrivés sur le plateau du Larzac pour lancer l’installation de la Phalange magnifique. Dès le mois de janvier 2016, il était à la tâche pour participer à la montée en puissance du régiment, la dernière mission qu’il a menée avec sa bonne humeur coutumière et son dévouement discret.
Passé par de nombreuses unités Légion, il a été inhumé près de son dernier régiment, selon ses dernières volontés. Il repose désormais en terre aveyronnaise et sur ce plateau du Larzac qu’il avait appris à aimer. Il a rejoint le cimetière de La Cavalerie, village où il s’était fait beaucoup d’amis, en attendant le futur Carré légion que la municipalité va créer en liaison avec le régiment.
