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.
The caller complained that the Confederate items were “not authentic” and were replicas of flags and weapons.
He says the seller told him “he was selling so much he can’t keep it in stock.”

I recall all those artists arrested when they called a crucifix in a jar of urine art....NOT!
When they do it, it is tradition. When anyone else does it, it must be banned.
Ooops, I better not give the MORONS in Connecticut any ideas..
Its not the book “Mein Kampf” that starts to make a Nazi ...its burning the book “Mein Kampf” that starts to make a Nazi....
it's just one of those paradoxes of life
The fact that this weenie was not PROMPTLY ARRESTED FOR MISUSING AN EMERGENCY NUMBER is very indicative that our nation is quite through.
Wait.
Now this story pleases me.
Greatly.
AAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
Flea Markets here are strange... There are a few in Tampa. One of them has a DENTIST OFFICE. I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't get my teeth cleaned in a FLEA MARKET...
School teachers would love to have boarding schools and no parental involvement.
A product of “Government Education”.
Where is the Redwood? Is it near the Yankee Silversmith Restaurant??
If you don’t like Confederate Flags, then I’d advise them against going to Flea Markets.
This is obviously some attention whore, someone trolling for a lawsuit, or both.
So much of our country have become similar to the Islamic fanatics or Nazis. They want to destroy symbols and even the people that contradict their beliefs.
If this man was actually having that kind of meltdown, he is completely insane.
Why wasn’t the whining pussy arrested for placing a false emergency call to 911?

Exactly, same behavior.
Fascism: some thoughts....
1922, originally used in English 1920 in its Italian form (see fascist). Applied to similar groups in Germany from 1923; applied to everyone since the rise of the Internet.
A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion. [Robert O. Paxton, “The Anatomy of Fascism,” 2004]
General Patton wouldn't know America as it exists today. The 'Progressives' have been hard at work in every meaningful place where they can....
“”The caller complained that the Confederate items were “not authentic” and were replicas of flags and weapons.””
The caller was offended and then complained that the items were only replicas - not the real thing????
