He should have been arrested for misuse of the 911 system.

I’m offended that Confederate memorabilia is being sold together with Nazi memorabilia!!!!

The Confederacy was an honorable cause. Nazism was not!!!!

Besides that, I’m one of the people who believes that the entire world would have been better off if the South had won!! Does anyone think that slavery in the South would have continued beyond the turn of the 20th century? (Remember Brazil.)

And there may not even have been a Nazi Germany if the South had won! Think about it!!!!

The Brown Shirt SA, the precursor to the SS, was a pretty faggy organization. From the top down.

I’m offended by what I see on TV 24/7, so, I just don’t watch it. If she/he are offended by the sale of military memorabilia, just think how offended they may be watching the History/military channel. Awwww, we’ve become soooo sensitive to every thing these days, is there anything left to be sensitive to? Especially things of the far gone past. All this sensitivity at this point only distracts us to the real problems we face in this world that need more attention than ones sensitivity. We need more iron nerves and less sensitivity if we are going to survive. Lets remove all historical traces of the things that make people sensitive. Confederate flags, Custer Battle Ground, Ft Gordon, Ft Bragg, Ft Lee, and then lets take it over seas, remove the statues of all the Caesars, level the Colosseum, go to Egypt and level the pyramids and all the Pharaoh statues. All this smoke screen while we watch the world burn around us? Oh, lets not forget that forbidden name calling that is considered so insensitive, it truly hurts more than sticks and stones these days. I wonder if the complainer felt offended by the Soviet memorabilia? I think not. If I was the cop, I’d tell them to close their eyes or look the other way. I’ve heard some of the biggest collectors of Nazi memorabilia are probably Jewish, and they aren’t collecting items because they offend them and they aren’t disposing of them for a good reason. $$$$$ ...... What a F’up’d country we have become, and there is no improvement in sight. I thank God for letting me live in the best of times.

I would guess the extermination policy might have been part of his objection.

I can't imagine saying to anyone, "I was shaking and almost vomiting," about anything.

I have to admit I get that way every time I hear or see Obama in the media.

Just wait until school starts again and see the little Obama (Hitler) youth turing in their parents for thought crimes to their teachers. Worse yet, reporting any civil war related anything they have in the house.

The “purge” is coming and they will be standing at your door in the name of political correctness to ship your ass off to the re-education camps in California.

The most feared thing in your life will be SCHOOL TEACHERS since they will be the focal point in knowing what these little Obama youths report.

They are busy denying their roots.

I grew up in Wallingford, and used to go to the Redwood Flea Market near the Yalesville area on the Hartford Turnpike regularly. Hundreds, if not thousands of people go there every week, and tables like this are pretty standard fare.

Wallingford isn’t generally caught up in the Confederacy stuff, and we have WWII collectors just like any place else. I will say that when the KKK decided to march in Wallingford a few decades ago a rock thrower did force at least one of the marchers to take off his hood.

The complainant sounds like he hasn’t been to many flea markets, Redwood or otherwise.

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

Sounds like the Left all right...

sinister (adj.)

early 15c., “prompted by malice or ill-will, intending to mislead,” from Old French senestre, sinistre “contrary, false; unfavorable; to the left” (14c.), from Latin sinister “left, on the left side” (opposite of dexter), of uncertain origin. Perhaps meaning properly “the slower or weaker hand” [Tucker], but Klein and Buck suggest it’s a euphemism (see left (adj.)) connected with the root of Sanskrit saniyan “more useful, more advantageous.” With contrastive or comparative suffix -ter, as in dexter (see dexterity).

The Latin word was used in augury in the sense of “unlucky, unfavorable” (omens, especially bird flights, seen on the left hand were regarded as portending misfortune), and thus sinister acquired a sense of “harmful, unfavorable, adverse.” This was from Greek influence, reflecting the early Greek practice of facing north when observing omens. In genuine Roman auspices, the augurs faced south and left was favorable. Thus sinister also retained a secondary sense in Latin of “favorable, auspicious, fortunate, lucky.”

Meaning “evil” is from late 15c. Used in heraldry from 1560s to indicate “left, to the left.” Bend (not “bar”) sinister in heraldry indicates illegitimacy and preserves the literal sense of “on or from the left side” (though in heraldry this is from the view of the bearer of the shield, not the observer of it).

These people need to be ridiculed into oblivion. Everyone, I mean everyone, is tired of this. They are now using emergency responder resources and should be put in prison.

The first step is to label them in a manner that is simple, catchy, and descriptive.

“OSHie”
Over-Sensitive Hemorrhoid

For example:
This guy, who called 911 over seeing a confederate flag is a an OSHie.

That’s odd, I recall being told that offensive art was good, because it evoked a response. Hmmmm.

Not being offended = the new civil right.

This guy reminds me of those people who showed up at doctors offices the day after Obamacare passed, demanding their free healthcare. Low information flea brains.

They should have sent the cops to arrest the idiot who called for his nuisance call to 911.
