The closest thing to the symbol Robert Crimo uses is from a far right Finish organization

called Suomen Sisu.

From the Daily Beast:
On most of Crimo's social-media pages, and embedded in several of his videos, is a symbol that roughly resembles that used by Suomen Sisu, a far-right Finnish organization. Crimo, however, does not appear to mention the national group in his postings.

Snip:
Suomen Sisu (Translated: Finnish Sisu) is a Finnish far-right association that defines itself as nationalist and patriotic, criticizing unlimited immigration and multiculturalism. Suomen Sisu proclaims to support the idea of independent national states, that govern themselves sovereignly, and opposes supranational co-operation, especially the European Union. Suomen Sisu was established as the Youth Organisation of the Association of Finnish Culture and Identity (Suomalaisuuden Liitto) in 1998, but this affiliation was broken in 2000. The organization is not affiliated with any political party, but its members have operated in several parties as individuals.


Suomen Sisu was described as a "Nazi spirited" group by the Finnish newspaper Länsiväylä; the association's president deemed the description incorrect and filed a complaint with the Council for Mass Media in Finland. The Council ruled that as the Länsiväylä had given the president of the association an opportunity to publish his own letter regarding the issue in the Länsiväylä, the Council saw no need for further action.[1] Suomen Sisu was found by the members of a group called "Thule Society".[2] The website of Suomen Sisu has promoted books by Alfred Rosenberg, George Lincoln Rockwell and David Duke.[3]

Call it what it is. Trump motivated and unleashed a legion of terrorists in our country. This monster was just 1 of thousands. They’re sick.
