as a hand sign it means "peace", regardless of which way the hand is facing. it was popularised by Winston Churchill who is English. when used with a gesture it can mean something else in a few countries. wikipedia does not make that clear.

haha.. never meant to make it a serious thing.. NEVER! 
it's just that i was quite "shocked" when i saw it... hilariously shocked...
as Crystallas said, she probably doesn't even know it. lost in translation eh?  |

Oh, so you like Liverpool FC, cabal? I like it too! 
But, this should not be dwelled on any more, I think.
That accident is in Yokohama Arena *, not in England or any others.
* Place (country) where that gesture is no problem at all. |

I don't think it was an incident..
Anyway, here (France), this sign is not an incident or something wrong at all. |

Yeah, of course it's not an incident or accident! Pardon my wrong word choice.
I want to describe that this situation is happened in Japan, where this sign is no problem at all as well. |
