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.”

LE should arrest the perp and give him/her a suitable fine.
I'm buying everything I see with a Confederate flag on it somewhere....they'll be collectors' items soon if they're not already.

It is absolutely amazing how quickly people can be re-programed!
Laughing. Hard.
Can’t... breathe...
Call....
911
The fire was in 2008. The dining car was left there for a little while, but that spot was too good to waste. Just like the old Yale Motor Inn, it wasn’t going to stay empty forever.
This coming from what I suspect to be another Boomer. The most selfish, entitled, narcissistic generation to ever walk the Earth. Let’s ignore the faults of my own generation and blame everyone else. Liberal much?
When a conservative sees something he doesn’t like, he looks away.
When a liberal sees something he doesn’t like, he wants it banned.
I’m Jewish, and I lost relatives to German genocide. I just came back from the local gun show and there were at least 2 booths with Nazi flags and a few more selling Nazi memorabilia and replicas.
I didn’t shake. I didn’t vomit. I didn’t pee or take a dump in my pants. I didn’t even think about it, let alone come close to doing any of them. This idiot has some clear psychological problems, plus a lack of any ability to cope with life.
I don’t know what is worse..... Someone freaking out over Confederate merchandise being sold or the Police actually responding to it.
There's a flea market around here that used to have a bar on site. As I recall, it opened at about 7AM and had plenty of customers.
What’s at the Yale Motor Inn site? When did they closed?
A bar? Where? We like the Oldsmar Flea Market...
Perkiomenville, PA.
The bar is long since closed down, however.
The Yale Moter Inn closed in 1991 or so. I bought one of their sleeper sofas. The spot is presently occupied by an iHOP and a BJ’s Wholesale Club parking lot.
See? I offended you. Who cares? I did not take your right to life, liberty or the pursuit of property from you. Suck eggs.
The truth hurts, eh? Sounds like you are the one offended. Suck eggs? What are you, 8? Great factual reply to my post by the way.
