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.” Jason Teal, president of the Meriden-Wallingford NAACP, was contacted to see what he thought. “It’s difficult because it’s on private property and it’s considered free speech,” Teal says. According to the paper, the complainant also called Mayor William W. Dickinson Jr., who promptly called Chief Wright. “I had to check with the chief over what is actionable and what isn’t,” according to the mayor. “Unless something violates state or federal law, there’s no jurisdiction for government to do anything. We had to ask, is it something controlled by law?” And the assistant regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Connecticut sees a difference between authentic memorabilia and “cheap replicas” “used as symbols of hate.” “It’s unfortunate that under the law people have the right to sell these things; but it doesn’t mean they should sell these things,” Joshua Sayles says. “It’s not a crime but I would call it hate. People look at the situation in Charleston and say it’s down in the South. But this stuff is here in Connecticut.”

“It’s not a crime but I would call it hate. People look at the situation in Charleston and say it’s down in the South. But this stuff is here in Connecticut.” (1 image) OMG its Nazi/communist pigs in action. You believe what I believe or I will use the rule of law and any other means to destroy you. Got to love progressive pigs!
They were replicas. So it's "fake" hate.
No their[progressives] hate is real hate. If it wasn't for rebel minded people progressives would own America. Well at least for a decade until the China or Russia figured out they were pussies!
These same progressives promote smut and the gay agenda on TV and the movies under the guise of "free speech", but object when our side dares to exercise this right.
OMG do not get me talking about TV crap! I can not hardly watch shows anymore do to these peoples influence on the shows. Its either porn light or progressive propaganda! I have to record everything and fast forward through the BS. I tried finding better shows but there isn't any out there.
All this is nothing to what has happened to me. The is the second day I woke up feeling better than I have ever felt in my entire life....all because that damned Confederate flag no longer flies in South Carolina. Dontcha feel it too?
Talk about a woossie. This clown should just go ahead & kill himself to get peace. Si vis pacem, para bellum
Oh I feel something, all right. Just like electing Obama led to a big improvement in race relations, I believe lowering the Confederate flag will have the exact same effect. Yessir, I do.
I felt the same way when I watched "The View".
He complained? What, he wanted real ones?
So was this caller just "hatched" yesterday or has been alive in this country for quite sometime?? It's only offensive now because the people he votes for now says it's a symbol of hate?? Idiots... Actually reminds me of a few posters here, it isn't an issue until their handler tells them it's an issue... LOL “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
That's almost as bad as having to watch Survivor...

Can you just imagine what would have
Now, now, now. At least he didn't succumb to the vapors. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Hey, hey. 15 years, 30 seasons. They're doing something right. (Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.)
How about the Nazis marching in Skokie?
"Can you just imagine what would have happened to him if he had wandered onto a Confederate reenactment like this:" How about the Nazis marching in Skokie? A heart attack for sure....definitely!

I was being sarcastic. I should have marked it as such.

I suppose if you think backstabbing is cool. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
The people who are backstabbed are the ones sitting on the jury voting on the backstabbers.
I felt the same way when I watched "The View". " LOL. It is the same way I feel every time I see & hear Ovomit, Jessee, "Rev" Al, & Louis Farakhan Si vis pacem, para bellum
