Wallingford police called after Nazi, Confederate merchandise found at flea market

WALLINGFORD, Conn. (WTNH) ? Over the weekend, Wallingford police were dispatched after someone called them to say there was a merchant selling Nazi and Confederate memorabilia at flea market, which some had found deeply offensive. The police chief says no one was arrested because no laws were broken; the items were being sold on private property.

I feel like we're only about 10 years away from idiots being offended by sunshine and drinking water.

I'm sure they're already here.

They're just the wrong hue to get noticed.

Your post is both making a mockery of those with emotional shortcomings and those of the female gender (or once males but now females.) Please keep such garbage out of my threads.

How did these SJW and PC scum gained so much power?

[dyna mo]

I don't have a problem with that person calling the cops in that Podunk town. For all I know that person could be a Holocaust survivor with PTSD. I dont think this is a news story.

The powers that be putting stuff out there to see what will work this election cycle

A quote from the story: “This is America, you can buy and sell whatever you care to,” said Moore. Well, unfortunately as we know, that's not the case

[TCLGirls]

No one was arrested, because no laws were broken...not even worthy of a news story, except it just provides more fodder for those who insist that the sky is falling due to PC.

[epitome]

It's one thing to not want a reminder flying on the steps of your state capital.

But this?!

Then again, I am wise enough to know that this kind of stuff has been going on, every day, forever. The media is just picking up the stories more.

This is a large part of the reason I left the U.S. 2 years after 911. The media & politicians fighting for influence will purposely set people like this into motion by putting stories like this out there, then it's a chain reaction and becomes a feeding frenzy that you'll see in every kind of media, almost every day for years.

Why do you think it took 13 years to "rebuild" the Twin Towers?

US is at an all time low for PC dingbatism.

How about this woman calling 911 because the Chinese food she ordered was "not up to par".

The entitlement in the US and demand for instant gratification is obscene.

"turning into"? I'd say we arrived there around 1978 or so....

PS: Thanks Sly. Now the extra $50 a week I made selling my 'historical items' at flea markets is now shot to hell. Go Texas.

You're mixing up Singapore with Malaysia. And Malaysia is not "my country" - it's where I currently make my money. I'm an American, which means this shit is my shit.

He's a New Yorker, spreading American capitalism through the Orient bravely attempting to help balance our trade deficit.

ridiculous story. instead of making a fuss that feeds the fox news 'freedom is under attack' crowd I woulda just spread a rumor that the merchandise was infested with bedbugs. and possibly infused with potent subliminal messages that compel white christian chicas to abort their babies.

yes the call was ridiculous, but the fact that it is even a news story is revealing. ish like this is part of a carefully constructed narrative, the "things are pretty peachy; racism, homophobia, poverty etc etc etc may exist but it's not that bad, see ridiculous news story of the day that minimizes the reality of injustice for proof. let's all laugh and move on, shall we?" POV. congrats to those who took the bait?

for real though, even if there was a legit basis for the call, the irony of expecting the cops to be an ally in a challenge regarding anything pertaining to racism or discrimination? I'm assuming whomever called the police recently arrived here from another planet.

Just doing my part, one slice at a time.

[Va2k]

WOW just sickens me to no end. You got these idiots burning our flag, taken down flags for all the wrong reasons. Then you got these lefty's crying about how kids are bad blah blah but if you spank your child they will be the first to call the police and have your kids taken and your ass hauled to jail. People need to start growing a pair.

The way I read it, she paid by credit card and was offered a refund back to her credit card, but she refused - demanding that they refund her in cash. That's not how it works. She could have accepted the refund to her card. She could have disputed the charge with the CC company. But no. She needed instant gratification. So she called 911. And she got what she deserved.

Come on, just look at crackhead

[Rochard]

We have a local indoor flea market here and there are a few booths that sell WWII items.....

There is a difference between selling items related to history and flying flags from government buildings. This is why we do not fly the Nazi flag from capital buildings.
