Bowlcut

Greyscale arrest mugshot of James Earl Ray, the man who murdered Martin Luther King Jr. Mass murderer Dylann Roof's signature "bowlcut" hair is placed on his head.

Also known as: Bowl Patrol

Mass killer Dylann Roof’s bowl haircut is a meme in white supremacist spaces, where self-professed fans of the terrorist semi-seriously refer to themselves as the “Bowl Patrol” in reference to his hair cut. Many memes referring to white supremacist mass killer Dylann Roof forego the use of his likeness, which could potentially get their posts taken down, and instead references to his hair cut as a coy reference.
