"According to the filling, Agents discovered items that helped identify Munchel from video and photographs of the riot - including a vest with the Punisher symbol and Tennessee’s state with a thin blue line."
My stance is that retiring the Punisher, or his skull symbol, in response to how it has been mis-approriated by certain groups would be letting them win, and I don't think we should give them that. Removing Frank from the books, or changing his costume to remove his symbol does not remove that symbol from these groups hands, it still means to them what it always has, only if Marvel stops using it, they don't have a counter point saying otherwise, Marvel has in effect handed them the symbol to assign whatever beliefs they want to it. So I think Marvel just has to aggressively pursue legal action against unlicensed use of the symbol, (which they have been doing, to be fair, but it's like whack-a-mole) and counter it with stories that make it clear they do not support the meaning these people have assigned to the skull emblem. Which, again they have done, but it was a fairly short scene, just a few pages long, and comics do not have enough reach for these people to really get the message, so I'd like to see a longer story that could be collected into a TPB where that is the whole point of the story, and maybe if it is possible to revive the Punisher TV series, or make a movie, that may have more effect. On the fan side of things, maybe some Youtubers or something could also help spread awareness that the Punisher symbol being used in that way goes against everything the character represents, and what his creators intended.
I know it feels like these efforts don't have any effect, but I am not ready to admit defeat and effectively hand these asshats the symbol.

They should shelf Frank for a few years and bring Lynn Michaels back and make a film about her. I think these guys from the far right are misogynists so I doubt they'd wear the Punisher's symbol if they knew the Punisher is a woman.
They aren't doing anything with Frank since like 2019, so keep doing that i guest?. Not that it matters much thought, i frankly don't think that Frank needs to be altered because of what some people in real life does with his symbol, especially when Frank whole stick isn't even related to whatever they preach.

One thing's for sure, the majority would still consider supernatural/angelic Punisher a bad idea...
To be perfectly honest, I've never liked Punisher nor seen his appeal. The only "Punisher story" I've enjoyed is the series Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History especially the part with Baby Thanos. One of the best aspects of the series, IMO, is how it shows that Punisher's violent methods when implemented on a grand scale generally make things worse, not better.

I think it's refreshing in a universe where villains get zero comeuppance... that we have a character that actually tries to fix the problems permanently. At least he killed the Mandarin (for now). Would be more impressed if he killed the Kingpin or Norman Osborn.
I get exhausted with villains like Bullseye doing awful things, getting arrested, escape... rinse, repeat.
Just read a Daredevil story where he gets the Kingpin out of jail... you read stories like that and think... what's the point?
