For explanation: Boogaloo movement, "Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.[12] "
- And the boogaloo part
  The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois,[3] is a loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist movement in the United States.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It has also been described as a militia.[10][11][12] Adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War or second American Revolution which they call "the boogaloo" or "the boog".[13][14]
  
  I remember when they celebrated January 6th, only to claim it was a false flag once it became clear how much it failed.
  They're equal parts scary and pathetic, incompetent while still earnestly pushing fascism.
  Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do, so it doesn't matter if many of them are dead weight otherwise.
  They will kill minorities and laugh while doing it.
  Don't let their comically stupid reasoning and detachment from reality fool you.
  They're dangerous and cannot be taken lightly.
  
  This one is also a KIA...
  Edit: mobile
- Thanks. From my perspective, commonly Chinese numberplate have 8s in them being lucky. And being Australian I thought that numberplate read BODG as in bodgy meaning of poor quality.
  Anyway, depressing that the numberplate was not fun or positive at all.
  
  I had the same initial reading, but upon a second closer look it's two O's so definitely depressing and not fun at all. :(
- I knew the 88 thing, not the boog though. Thanks for the knowledge.
- I don’t know how I missed BOOG as boogaloo boy considering there are some active boogs in my area. Granted, I usually spot them based on apparel around political events and protests.
  Good catch.
You should report them to whoever issues license plates there. They take this stuff seriously.
- Or key the car, if you're out of sight.
  
  They shouldn't do anything like that, or slash their tires, or put a brick through their windshield.
- I don’t see a specific place to report an offensive plate, but I did send an email to the Indiana BMV. They review personalized plates and reject some, so this must have slipped past their radar.

Does that car still have a catalytic converter?
- It's from Indiana, so honestly 50/50 either way.
  
  Heroin, don't fail me now.
i'm sure it's just a 36 year old named john boogaart
- My nickname among some old friends is actually "The Boog". Finding out these assholes have corrupted it angers me so much.
  
  As a Gavin who only had singers and comedians to represent the name, the existence of that proud boy asshole definitely gave me similar feelings.
- ...sending "Love and kisses" (88)
  (One of Western Union 92 codes still used by ham radio operators)
Always Carry A Brick 🧱
This must be the before picture?
Maybe he’s a fan of Boogie2988
- Hmmm, but since when? Could still be sus lol
Least racist Indiana Resident:
Got any broken spark plugs?
- OOTL what's this mean?
  
  Spark plugs (broken ceramic shards) shatter glass easily. Do with this information what you must
Well of course you did. They’re Hoosiers.
