A shopper perusing the merchandise at the Redwood Country Flea Market was so offended by a vendor selling Confederate and Nazi historical memorabilia, the person actually called 911.
Wallingford, Connecticut police were dispatched to the flea market to investigate.
The police chief William Wright tells News 8 “the reason no one was arrested was because the items were being sold on private property” — not to mention no laws were broken.
“There was a table set up with this material,” Wright says, according to Journal-Record. “It’s not criminally illegal, but obviously it offended this person. It causes some people a sense of being uncomfortable. Certainly the owner could preclude this merchandise.”
The town resident who called 911 said there were helmets with swastikas, images of Hitler and other historical Nazi items.
“I was shaking and almost vomiting,” he tells the paper. “I had to run. My grandmother had numbers,” referring to the digits the Nazis would tattoo on prisoners.

Excuuusee ME! The vendor could have PRECLUDED selling this? How about this idea. The shopper could have moved along past the display and said to herself over and over again "free speech, free speech".
ReplyDeleteThis 'shoppper' is an excellent example of the mental issues liberals have, and the assumption that anything they consider offensive m-u-s-t be eliminated.
ReplyDeleteActually, this reminds me of a little girl who wants her own way and starts playing sick and dizzy trying to manipulate the adults.. which obviously worked many times, as she's still doing it.
She needs to get a grip on reality.
Society if done. Good job to the people that voted for him. Now I have move out of the country. Have fun
ReplyDeleteThere items have historical value as well. Politically correct people cannot push history under the bus because it offends them. I did not like the Vietnam war either but it happened.
ReplyDeleteWTF!! This proves they we live in one screwed up country! WTF is wrong with you people. Ignorant and very uneducated! Low informed and dependent on the government!!
ReplyDeleteYou ignorant people. What the H''' have you done to our country!!!
ReplyDeleteJust, "Walk on by!"
ReplyDeleteHE should be arrested and fined for frivolous use of "911".
ReplyDeleteTwo months ago the same person would have walked past the same items and never batted an eye or said a word about it. Get over it people, it's History!!
ReplyDeleteThis shopper is a neurotic twit.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be an epidemic of that lately.
This person should have been arrested for 911 abuse!!!
ReplyDeleteSo he's offended by a Nazi sign and begins acting like a Nazi in return. Notice he attached the Confederate flag to his paranoia I wonder what they will attach next?
ReplyDeleteSo another trouble maker gets their 15 minutes.One used to have to be creative to do that.
