‘Offended’ flea market shopper calls police after Nazi, Confederate merchandise found at flea market

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.

Confederate memorabilia. (Example)

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.

"...comment by HwΩΩd♪

how much for the swastika Helmet??..."

That deserves a repost, still laughing.

I was reading Jews owned every rum distillery which supplied the rum used by slave traders to trade for slaves in Africa. Rum distillation being just one subset of the slave industry. Many Jews financed and ran the actual slave trade as well.

So why doesn't this bargain hunter vomit when he sees a Star of David? Hitler was a piker next to the slave industry, which lasted hundreds of years and was much more of a realization of the Nazi dream of a perceived lesser race enslaved to a master race? Why? Because if the master race is Jewish, it's all good in the hood, baby.

Let's find out who made the complaint and focus on them, and the ask why was this person not arrested. This would be the same thing as yelling fire in a theater.

The so called confederate flag they are pulling down every where is NOT even the official confederate flag AND it was used for the civil rights movement, so TELL ME AGAIN HOW THAT FLAG IS RACIST!
