Photo obtained by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Members of the National Socialists of Florida throw "Heil Hitler" salutes on St. Pete Beach. A fascist group carrying Nazi flags and other forms of propaganda made its way around Pinellas County last Saturday. Photos obtained by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay show the National Socialists of Florida (NSF) outside of Paradise Grille on St. Pete Beach, where the group posed for several photos and gave 'Heil Hitler' salutes. The group also headed further east into Pinellas County, where the Nazis took to a bridge at US-19 and Park Street N to wave a swastika flag and a flag with a 'Black Sun' symbol, which was used in Nazi Germany and appeared at the top of the racist Buffalo supermarket shooter's manifesto.
