Guy Wears Nazi Shirt To Punk Rock Festival In Vegas—And It Goes Immediately South For Him

A man was filmed getting forcibly ejected from the Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend after attendees noticed a Nazi emblem on his shirt.

A punk rock fan is learning the hard way that while anarchy may have been one of the core tenets of the genre, Nazism absolutely is not.

Consider it the latest chapter in the phenomenon of right wingers seeming to have no idea what their favorite music acts stand for, like their yearly uproar over discovering that Rage Against The Machine are, in fact, raging against a specifically right-wing one.


Over Memorial Day weekend, a man attended the Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in Las Vegas while proudly sporting a Nazi T-shirt. And, oh boy, did it not go well for him.

The man wore an orange t-shirt that bore the emblem of the SS, or Schutzstaffel, the most important paramilitary group in 1930s Germany that were a major force within Adolf Hitler's regime.

Its logo of two S's shaped like lightning bolts is often co-opted by members of American far-right extremist groups.

Whatever reception the man seemed to assume he'd get at a punk rock festival, it was likely not the one he got.

Video showed other attendees shoving the man toward the exit. Others punched him along the way, and people from the crowd could be heard yelling things like “No fu*king Nazis" and "get out of our scene" at him.

One of the seminal tunes from the punk rock genres is the Dead Kennedy's "Nazi Punks Fu*k Off," so it's not really a surprising response.

On X, many cheered the attendees of the festival for taking such a zero-tolerance approach and creating an environment that is openly hostile towards far-right Nazi adulation.

And many had pointed words for anyone calling for a more measured response.







Sure, violence rarely solves anything. But when's the last time you heard about far-right leader Richard Spencer? Probably when the news dropped about him being punched in the face in the streets of DC. Makes you think!

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
