Symbol carved into green at Lakeville golf course Posted: 1 month ago by shuallyo
I thought this was ridiculous:
Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a symbol that represents eastern religious beliefs carved into the green.
Notice how it says... "represents eastern beliefs"? Obviously the most common association with the symbol is the Nazi's. Why on earth would they write that?
