And that swastika started out as a simple X untill it was further modified into the nazi symbol.

Charles MANSON (1934 - )
A brutal killer and cult leader, Manson was known for the 1969 Sharon Tate murders he committed with his followers (i.e.,) the Manson Family, involving actress Sharon Tate and six other individuals. He portrayed himself as a "savior" who violently opposed society. Manson had disfigured his anatonmy and had branded his forehead with the letter "X" to signify being an outcast. The violent perversity of his acts in having his followers hack to death their victims and write in blood the the words "pig" and "war" reflected his satanic orientation. He and his followers were also charged and found guilty in murdering Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in the same manner.

It was originally an "X" he carved into his forehead during his trial. Many of his followers soon followed suit. His reason for doing that was because he was "X-ing" himself from the world. Over time, he modified that into a swastika. It does fit in with his philosophy, though, because he is a racist.
