"..Anders Behring Breivik clenched his right hand, held it to his chest and extended his arm to raise it above the Oslo court."

..He made a fascistic / nazi salute...the bastard's politics are well-known, why the long-winded article making numerous refs to left-wing groups, the 1968 olympics and feminists?

I think his clenched fist symbolizes nothing more than defiance.

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

It isn't really a nazi salute but a knight templar one. I think.
But don't be surprised when the media mix things up, it happens all the time.

[Crux]

I've seen nazbols use it and probably other fascists too.

[Permanent Revolutionary]

Now the media can't distinguish a fascist salute from a socialist one? No wonder journalism is in the crapper

[Os Cangaceiros]

The article is right in that it was a popular salute among anti-fascists in Spain during the civil war.

The fascist salute is the classic flat palm gesture w/ arm and fingers straight out, not clenched fist.
