Yeah but you guys are missing the cultural context. The swastika was adopted from a Budhist symbol and just inverted. So a "swastika" that is standing up straight, ie not twisted on its side a few degrees is an ancient Budhist symbol.

I saw that figurine too and it was clearly that Budhist symbol placed on it. It was taken down because I guess too many people thought it was out of place.

But that Nazi clothing store is just stupid and dissrespectful.
