Over the weekend, Wallingford police were dispatched after someone called them to say there was a merchant selling Nazi and Confederate memorabilia at flea market, which some had found deeply offensive. The police chief says no one was arrested because no laws were broken; the items were being sold on private property.
It’s not clear if the items that were being sold were authentic, but they’re easy to find in Connecticut. Military Specialties, Inc. in Newington sells a variety of historical military objects, including those produced by the Third Reich and Confederate reproductions.
“It’s here and you’re likely to see it,” said co-owner William Moore. “If you want, we’ll talk to you about it and give you the history about it.”
Moore says he supports the caller who dialed up police and is sympathetic to what they felt. As a dealer of commodities with a controversial past, he can see both sides.
“This is America, you can buy and sell whatever you care to,” said Moore.
Police say the mayor’s office is looking into a complaint made over the incident.
Get ready for some local ordinances.
Ridiculous to the max. They actually sent cops out on that call?
Teacher! Teacher! Someone is being mean. Make them stop!
if someone finds something offensive that is prima facie evidence that a crime has been committed. It’s coming. Somehow being offended will circumvent the 1st AMD.
If the merchandise wasn’t against the law, why send officers out to investigate in the first place? Hmmmmm?
He believes in the right to buy and sell anything you want, but supports those who call the police on you when you do.
I wonder who dresses him in the morning.
Golly, that sure sounds familiar, doesn't it? Probably written down on some antiquated piece of paper on some foreign land.
My guess there will be a national ban on internet sales of the CBF shortly. The facist left is on a roll.
What’s most disturbing is that the mental defective who called the police is too stupid to see the contradiction in his/her/it’s actions.
The idiot that made the 911 call should be beaten with a frozen Tuna...
"This is America, you can buy and sell whatever you care to," said Moore.Everthing except law darts and child car seats and baby cribs and baby matresses, and a bunch of other items.
Bingo! “Deeply offended” is the term that will now appear in Rat laws.
Each neighborhood in America should have a Community Organizer who keeps and eye and hear out for racist and proto-racist violations of thought and behavior.
I bet SC Gov. Nikki Haley is celebrating.
We need to hire the old Sopranos crew and turn them loose on these law-abusing liberals. Popcorn, anyone?
From the easily offended whose noses are perpetually bent out of shape, good lord deliver us.
“I wonder who dresses him in the morning. “
Well said.
