The police were called by some idiot who thinks that it’s a crime in America to give offense to others’ genteel sensibilities.
Watch below:
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.
It’s not clear if the items that were being sold were authentic, but they’re easy to find in Connecticut. Military Specialties, Inc. in Newington sells a variety of historical military objects, including those produced by the Third Reich and Confederate reproductions.
“It’s here and you’re likely to see it,” said co-owner William Moore. “If you want, we’ll talk to you about it and give you the history about it.”
Moore says he supports the caller who dialed up police and is sympathetic to what they felt. As a dealer of commodities with a controversial past, he can see both sides.
“This is America, you can buy and sell whatever you care to,” said Moore.
Police say the mayor’s office is looking into a complaint made over the incident.
Oh good, they’re still investigating instead of telling that idiot to shove it.
So this is what America is now? Some moron calls 911 and says, “I’m OFFENDED!!!” and they’re expected to dispatch cops right away? How absurd.
