An affluent Southern California community was rocked by social media images of teenagers apparently giving a Nazi salute, while gathered around red plastic cups arranged in the shape of a swastika.

Newport-Mesa Unified School District pledged to cooperate with law enforcement in trying to identify any of its students who might have been in the offending picture and were drinking underage, which appeared on social media over the weekend, according to schools spokeswoman Adriana Angulo.

"These young adults are expressing hatred that has been handed down from an older generation. The current trend of normalizing hate speech has emboldened bigots in their speech, as well as their actions."

1. Yeah, it's called the Trump effect

"These young adults are expressing hatred that has been handed down from an older generation. The current trend of normalizing hate speech has emboldened bigots in their speech, as well as their actions."

2. Why are their faces blurred out?

3. So they won't get sued.

Especially if these cretins are under aged.

5. Avenatti posted an unedited one.

6. He's not a news outlet.

He was retweeting, the news outlet has legal obligation to blur the faces, Avanatti does not.

11. No they don't, they just always defer to the legal dept.

10. The dude in the beige shirt looks extremely serious

The others look extremely drunk. But they all willfully participated in the bigotry.

15. Good. In a country that throws babies in jail and

executes not just the mentally handicapped, but straight-up kids - usually minorities, of course - I find it just a little too rich that we're worried about protecting these white, Hitler Youth wannabe's from the consequences of their actions.

7. Yeah, I'm sure they were rocked, alright.

Racism/bigotry in affluent SoCal is highly irregular. Totes surprising to everyone.

8. Straightened, cropped and lightened

I hope no-one shares this pic of their faces.

9. They appear to be all white... Imagine that!

This is not just something that can be passed off as “kid stuff” or a “silly stunt by teens.” They’re old enough to know better, and to know (at some level) that this is offensive and hateful, so one must conclude that this act was deliberate.

Their punishment should include mandatory monitored community service at Jewish homes for the elderly, and mandatory monitored viewing of the most graphic Holocaust documentaries.

12. I'll bet their parents are very proud of them.

And I don't mean that sarcastically either.

13. These kids probably couldn't even tell you three facts about Nazi Germany

It's pathetic and stupid.

14. Where's the Bear Jew when we need him?

BATTER UP!!!
