An Alpine, California man unnerved local residents for months by displaying a large Nazi flag (a huge swastika) on the back window of his SUV.
The area, near San Diego, has a mostly White population. But that didn’t mean local residents were fans of the Nazi flag being on constant display around their homes and children.

Recently, the mobile display of the overt hate symbol lead to a violent confrontation with those local residents.
NBC7 San Diego reported the fascist flag bearer, 36-year old Jesus Seineke, filed a complaint with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department after two people allegedly tried to rip the flag off of the vehicle. They then fought him in a store parking lot.
A sheriff’s spokesperson told NBC7 that two days prior to that complaint, the department received multiple complaints about a man standing on the hood of an SUV waving a Nazi flag along one of Alpine’s main roads.
According to multiple Alpine residents who spoke to the news outlet, Seineke and his flag were wearing down the community’s patience.
Resident Nycki Koch couldn’t believe it:
“Sometimes when I see it. I think, ‘Oh my God, what is happening here?'”
And Jerry Bulinski, a resident of a nearby neighborhood, said the following:
“It just represents the wrong ideals. It’s just a horrible part of history and it shouldn’t be celebrated.”
Seineke told NBC 7 why he decided to wave the Nazi symbol in Alpine:
“I am in total opposition of Black Lives Matter or supporting anything to do with gays.”
According to the Times of San Diego, Seineke has a long history expressing hate speech online.
When Azerbaijani news website AZ show featured news footage of anti-racism protests in San Diego, Seineke denounced the demonstrations.
“People also have a right to stand for their own race or stand up for the police.”
“Bowel Movements Matter, or as [they] like to be called #BLM, is in fact a racist movement fueled with a hatred for our system and targeting those in opposition of their own interests.”
“There are those who will in fact STAND in the face of this evil … that is sweeping the world. The LGBQT, Islamic & solely Black agenda sweeping the nation isn’t one of love or respect, it’s one … that says to stand in opposition of such views is inhuman or racist.”
“We will STAND against evil, we will STAND and let those idiots kneel. We’ve already won.”
Apparently for Seineke, a Nazi flag on his SUV was a win.
Twitter felt absolutely zero sympathy for Seineke.

Good. Do it again if he puts that flag back on his car — Jake (@Padres_fan67) July 10, 2020
Jesus Seineke hasn’t said whether he’ll continue sharing his White supremacist views with a Nazi flag in Alpine.

I think my favorite part was the part where he claimed that black lives matter was a racist agenda, and that him waving a nazi flag was him standing up to racism. Honestly, whoever is writing the script for 2020 has a serious sense of irony.
