Protest in Lake Worth, Florida, November 2008, against the ban of gay marriage. The swastika was apparently an ironic statement equating the supporters of the amendment with Nazism, rather than an indication the protestor himself was a Nazi. Still, Godwin's Law probably applies.

The April 6 movement is an inclusive, non-ideological movement and Facebook group that has been working to free Egypt from authoritarian rule since 2008. On January 15, 2011, inspired by the revolution in Tunisia, the movement called for Egyptians to celebrate Police Day (January 25) by revolting. (The police were once revered but had turned into the hated arm of authoritarian rule.) Most "experts" said the revolution in Tunisia could not be replicated in Egypt. On January 25, the revolution began.
