‘Offended’ flea market shopper calls 911 over Confederate merchandise

Loading

 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.

I bet a lot of Vietnam veterans are offended every time a Jane Fonda movie is aired. Those must be banned. How about rap music? Blacks, whites and women can be offended by much of the lyrics. Ban it (PLEASE). The rainbow flag, symbol of intolerance and hatred of anyone that does not think as the gay community does; ban it.

I’m sure I can think of more; it’s just my mind has never worked that way and I don’t have a lot of experience being all butt-hurt over stupid things. Give me some time.

I do agree with the Hanoi Jane Movies. She was and is a traitor. Daddy Henry must have stepped in to save her.

Lady, get a grip on reality and grow up. One can only imagine how dysfunctional her children are or will become.
