‘Offended’ flea market shopper calls 911 over Confederate merchandise

[carlb]

I hope they arrest this guy for abusing the 911 system. They won't. The idiots in Godvernment were sympathetic to his contrived "offence."

He says the seller told him "he was selling so much he can't keep it in stock."

Jason Teal, president of the Meriden-Wallingford NAACP, was contacted to see what he thought.

"It's difficult because it's on private property and it's considered free speech," Teal says.

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?"

And the assistant regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Connecticut sees a difference between authentic memorabilia and "cheap replicas" "used as symbols of hate."

"It's unfortunate that under the law people have the right to sell these things; but it doesn't mean they should sell these things," Joshua Sayles says.

There is a business of long standing near my home (approx 10 miles) and it has sold so much that I'll wager they could retire after this mess settles.  I'm told they had county cops directing the influx of traffic.  No cops there when i went by it but the parking area was full so we crammed our SUV in there on the way back home from shopping and got our flag.
