‘Offended’ flea market shopper calls 911 over Confederate merchandise

[redandblack]

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.”

Agreed, that's a tad hysterical. Better to either picket the flea market or simply boycott. Definitely not a law enforcement issue.

And the leftist keep asking "why hysteria".

People call 911 for all kinds of stupid reasons. Stupid people. Selecting this particular story, as if it means something, is quite stupid as well.

it means something because some liberals would like to make the sale of this type of merchandise illegal and there are already countries in which it has been made illegal

Those liberals are always turning to hardcore police state supporters when a different opinion offending their otherwise surely very tolerant soul.

The correct response would be to arrest the person who called 911 and release them after they pay all costs associated with the call.

I honestly agree with that, these fuckers are so obsessive when it comes to gun control laws and shootings etc. but they'll happily waste police time over a fucking flag, there are much bigger things to worry about than that bullshit.

Funny how the people screaming about intolerance the most, are also the most intolerant.

Yeah, the idiot who called 911 over this should have been arrested. People abuse the 911 system and obviously have no clue what an actual "emergency" is, my friend's neighbor actually called 911 on him to report he was flying the US flag upside down...

Hopefully the person that called in got fined for wasting emergency resources
