[seankennedy]

Cover your eyes children.. they're making hand gestures... oh the humanity!!

[michaelsheridan]

OK is a "White Power" hand Gesture, A fist is "Black Power" the middle finger is "Universal Love" to Mankind. talk about identity politics gone nuts.

[blumie]

Its called a OK symbol. I swear this is so fake

[wulfeman]

ok is "offensive" but riots and looting is "ok"

[Jusoon]

lol way to put your own little spin on a hand symbol.

[MrGoodeats]

lol you really pretending like that is anything other than an okay for the photo...

Only 10 seconds reserved for what the peaceful protest was about in a single soundbite. Did the myriad of "progressive" protests last summer get this much granular focus on their symbolism and speech which is offensive to some?

[i.o.u.]

Who was Hurt? or Attacked? or Lost their property?
Some people (JUST) holding up the OK hand sign..that’s it??
Wow!!

[LdyButterflyDMG]

NOT offensive. Just an OK hand symbol to me. Moving on to real news. :)

[MikeAW]

I really wish we could have a better Mayor. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Reported this vid as spam or misleading.

...We already talked about the hand sign for the Navy game months ago,
Believe it or not... not everything is about you! (meaning being racist)

[joshuaupham]

👌 Ok? What? You have jumped the shark farther than even the Fonze!

[brendanwalsh]

Richard Spencer loves the symbol. The Christchurch Shooter loves the symbol. I see the youtube comments love hanging out with them or pretending what they do isn't a big deal. If it starts as a joke and is now used by horrific people, doesn't mean it's still a joke.

I find this pompous woman highly offensive and racist
