I watched this video yesterday. Jump to about 3:50 into the video and pay close attention to the ring Caputo has on his hand. I mean WTF!
Any resemblance to this...................?

(42,694 posts)Some folks known for wearing skull rings: Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Steven Tyler, Billy Idol. Caputo thinks of himself as a rebellious rock and roll type guy. Of course, hes pretty clearly just a poseur.

(70,683 posts)and upon seeing they were Nazi paraphernalia, I literally *RECOILED* and immediately turned to get away. I was then and now aware that others, such as bikers, who might not be Nazis collect and wear such stuff, although I have never been clear on why beyond a niche aesthetic feature. I once asked for explanation of a biker and just got a if-you-have-to-ask- dismissive response.
The seller called at me, earnestly as though to "explain" and mitigate. I just shook my head no no and left his corner.
That said, this particular SHITLER nutcase, I pre-judge, has no mitigating motives.

(70,683 posts)I stopped showing it because some people thought it was cartel-related!1

(1,400 posts)i know about this, cuz that explains me smoking even tho i have asthma.
i think that is why a lot of ppl are maskholes, too. just fucking pretending that they are not afraid of death and pissed that you brought it up.
i'm actually not afraid of death, cuz i was already dead when i was 6. only for a few minutes. f'ed up a bit from it for 6 decades. but everything is in working order now.
and i'm a good buddhist who is ready to be one w everything any time. tho the ppl i would have to be one w are giving me pause these days.

(257 posts)I am definitely not a biker or a Nazi...always wanted a real silver skull ring like the plastic ones we used to get at elementary school carnivals, the ones with sapphire eyes...(and they had a jaw)...I wouldn't want anyone to misinterpret the ring if I got one...

(42,694 posts)Ask Deadheads. Caputo considers himself a Deadhead (you can look it up). Maybe its a fanboy thing on his part.

(26,109 posts)Not with this bunch.
He is the epitome of a "Rock and roll wannabe"

No, I don't really know Keith Richards. I do know a John Richards though, if that counts for anything.

(5,067 posts)It consists usually of the human skull with or without the mandible and often includes two crossed long-bones (femurs), most often depicted with the crossbones being behind some part of the skull. The term Totenkopf is commonly associated with 19th- and 20th-century German military use. Mainly by SS troops. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/14959689
