When police arrested 22-year-old Christopher Brown early Saturday morning, he was wearing a black T-shirt stenciled with “I Have a Gun and I’m schizophrenic.” He was carrying a bag found to contain a hunting knife, a black wool balaclava, and an armband emblazoned with a symbol of hate.
“A Nazi swastika,” a police official told The Daily Beast.
