Most likely the kids did this because it's edgy, not because they're really hardcore into Nazi ideology.
These kids know what the Holocaust was. Someone should explain to them that it's coming back. For a few people, it's already here, but it's coming for more. They need to be sat down for a real history lesson. And they need to understand that there is very little in the way of the world repeating that history, or worse.
They should understand that they need to be more worried if they don't get in much trouble, not less. They need to understand how jokes and pranks provide cover and acceptance for these kinds of things. They need to understand that their jokes are not actually harmless, because they pave the way for people to actually believe and do these things while believing they'll have a group that accepts them for it.
And hopefully, on top of all that, they'll still see some kind of punishment. Not enough to ruin their lives, because they are dumb kids being dumb, but enough to discourage this from spreading.
There are plenty of dedicated young Nazis around. I hope you're right.
And worse, they're on the rise. Neonazis know kids are easy to flip, even more now with the way things are now.
I dunno, I've been to San Jose
