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.”

Stand witness to the power of Orwellian Media Programming, folks...
This guy has a near-psychotic breakdown because the media has told him that even seeing such a thing as a Confederate Flag" is politically-incorrect"!
"!984" was supposed to be a WARNING, not a Democratic Party Operations Manual.
Original WTNH story:
What a f****** p****.
Yep. A real bed-wetter.
Or just an attention-whore...
If this comment came from a Gay Pride Parade, calling the police will be a waste of time, they will be in the parade.
What’s with liberals and low information types calling 911 ??
This reminds me of numerous stories of calls to 911 when McDonald’s ran out of chicken mc nuggets. Do some people not really know what 911 is for, or really understand what is a life threatening emergency, as opposed to an annoyance, an annoyance which is not any sort of matter for police???
But now I look at it in a different perspective. This stuff is a devious way to chip away at whatever Liberals don't like.
One single instance of a nutty Liberal calling 911 over something he doesn't like sounds crazy, right?
But what about tens of thousands of Liberals complaining about the same thing over the course of several years?
That's how they win. Slow and steady. Incrementalism.
And, as usual, the person’s name is not publicly mentioned. Typical.
These people are so stupid it is surprising they can remember “911” and dial it.
“And, as usual, the person’s name is not publicly mentioned. Typical.
Of course not...
Only someone who could be called “Conservative” will be publicly named and called out in cases like this.
Bet the caller is a homo.
They remember it, for some of them it was a day of glee.
The movie, "Idiocracy" was supposed to be satire, not an instruction manual. I knew Connecticut can reject police applicants because they are too smart, I guess that applies to politicians, too.
If the caller was gay why would they be upset about Nazi memorabilia? After all, the homosexuals were a major force in putting Hitler in power.
The Left is going to work to fix the ‘private property’ loophole.
This shopper really, really needs to get a life.
Acquiring a brain wouldn’t be a bad idea, either.
George Patton would have slapped the hell out of this guy.
ISIS is counting on this kind of uh..”American male”.
Do some people not really know what 911 is for, or really understand what is a life threatening emergency, as opposed to an annoyance, an annoyance which is not any sort of matter for police???.....People now days, Gen X and Millenials and other nee’r do wells, have been indoctrinated that it is ALL about them. Human right NOT to be offended? Yep, we are getting there.
