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.”
I just hope this offended person never crosses the Potomac.
“According to the paper, the complainant also called Mayor William W. Dickinson Jr., who promptly called Chief Wright.
“I had to check with the chief over what is actionable and what isn’t,” according to the mayor. “Unless something violates state or federal law, there’s no jurisdiction for government to do anything. We had to ask, is it something controlled by law?””

No moron, you didn’t have to ask. But the fact that you did shows your unfamiliarity with the 1st Amendment. The mere fact that you did shows how clueless you are, and demonstrates how easily you’ll fold to the whining hordes. Is everyone a pansy now? I’m starting to think they’re spiking the water in some states.
I’m broke
I don’t have a job and I’m not looking for one.
I’ve borrowed more than my net worth .
I can’t promise that I will make payments.
I need a new car and a vacation in Bermuda.
I need someone to loan me some more money for that..
Any of you Germans willing to pick up the tab? Just this once.
I promise.
I’ll figure something out when I get back from Bermuda.
It is now official. I have traded Donald Trump and the rights to the biographical film about Little Bush to be shown at the National Convention to the Democrats in exchange for Jim Webb and a bronze bust of Jefferson Davis.

Donald Trump is the canary in the coal mine. He is a stupidity meter for the Republican Party and the results are not encouraging.

Wow. I see all sorts of things that offend me, but I don’t call 911. Is this even still the United States of America?

It’s the frivolous use of 911 illegal?
