From the news footage, it can include a Nazi flag.

Not sure how "Nationalist" that is for America...
Swastika was a symbol used in the past by Native Americans. Some swastikas are even in our state capitol I've been told. It was also used by the Okla 45th infantry.

For the first 15 years of its existence, members of the 45th Infantry Division proudly wore on their left shoulders an ancient American Indian symbol of good luck, most commonly referred to as the swastika. The insignia served as recognition of the great number of Native Americans proudly serving in the 45th Infantry Division. The yellow swastika on a square background of red symbolized the Spanish Heritage of the 4 Southwestern states that made up the membership of the 45th—Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona. A similar symbol was adopted by the Nazi party in the late 1920’s, and as the N.S.D.A.P. rose to power in 1933 the symbol became so closely associated with German National socialism that it had to be abandoned as the insignia of the 45th Infantry Division.

Was being reported by some on a few sites - some guys ran the tag number and came up with a name, facebook page, etc. Could link to one site, but now they've retracted it, saying that the car has been sold and the kid they were blaming now wasn't the driver, and they're still trying to ID the driver.
