When it comes to dressing up for Halloween, there are some costumes that are considered to be so completely offensive, they should totally be off-limits.
One New York City bar patron quickly learned his Nazi uniform was not going to win any costume contests any time soon after being shown out the door of a historic New York establishment.
The unnamed customer went to Fanelli Cafe in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan and walked up to the bar with a grin on his face while sporting a swastika on the sleeve of his Nazi uniform jacket.
The visit was caught on camera, and the footage showed the patrons–who were not in costume–giving the man a chilly reception.
One woman could be heard asking:
"What is wrong with you?"
The posted footage went viral with over 2.7 million views in ten hours.

The man then turned and shrugged at the question then is told by another patron:
“Get out of here you motherf'ker.”
To which the man countered, "F'k you."
An individual is seen rushing toward the man as he is confronting his critics and showing him the way out is definitely not back inside.
\u201c@LucilleNumber1 Thank you for standing up to this person. He should consider himself lucky he was able to walk out. \n@rx0rcist @TizzyEnt @RealTomPowellJr can we find this guy? This is absolutely unacceptable.\u201d— Lucille Bignom (@Lucille Bignom) 1667158680
\u201c@LucilleNumber1 Why do these guys who claim to be "the master race" always look they crawled out from a Coney Island deep fryer?\u201d— Lucille Bignom (@Lucille Bignom) 1667158680
Social media users remained appalled.
\u201c@mattxiv Honestly is so disgusting to still see stuff like this in 2022. People seem to think it was a long time, when in fact I\u2019m only the 2nd generation after the Holocaust.\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv Wow, imagine your life is so sad and pathetic at this point that the only way you can do something fun is to purposefully piss everyone off by doing the most offensive thing possible\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv Why he\u2019s mad he\u2019s getting kicked out? Like did he think he wouldn\u2019t get people upset with this costume or something?\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv @SARA2001NOOR This literally made my whole body go numb. I've spent many an evening in Fanelli. I know it's a Halloween costume, but as a Jewish person, seeing it makes me feel unsafe even here in NYC. Now I'm crying.\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
People were doubly shocked the visit ended without a violent incident.
\u201c@mattxiv Not going to lie I am not one to respond with violence. But I\u2019d be up in a second on that one\u2026 millions died fighting against the hatred. I\u2019d proudly get up to honour those men and women.\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv @Norwegian_Lars Shocked no one punched his smirking face\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv Here\u2019s Indiana Jones demonstrating for us what to do if you see a Nazi.\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
For the record...
\u201c@BaconAiken @mattxiv If someone is wearing a nazi costume it isn't a costume\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@JDogLovesHalo @mattxiv So can I walk around as KKK and say it\u2019s Halloween? Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s a bit tone deaf? That person knew what they were doing.\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
\u201c@mattxiv Our state (Victoria, Australia) has banned any display of Nazi Insignia.\n\nAnyone who intentionally displays the Nazi symbol in public will face penalties of up to almost $22,000, 12 months imprisonment or both.\n\nhttps://t.co/R7UZu0scr1\u201d— matt (@matt) 1667100884
The unsettling incident follows recent headlines about antisemitism across the country, including Ye's controversial string of antisemitic social media posts and news interviews.
The rapper's online remarks influenced more antisemitic rhetoric across the country, with one hate group displaying a sign over an LA overpass with the words, "Kanye is right about the Jews."
Members holding a sign encouraging drivers to "honk if you know" were giving the Nazi salute as LA commuters drove beneath them.
The rapper was also referenced with a projection outside the TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida during the Florida-Georgia college football game.
