She hung a Nazi flag in her antique shop. Now she's getting death threats.

Shelton shopkeeper Janice Danker said she’s receiving death threats.

The reason?

She accepted an antique German Nazi flag on consignment and hung it near a collection of World War II items in her store.

A few days ago, someone took a photo of the flag at her shop, Games and Needful Things, and posted it on Facebook. Danker said the phone at her antique and secondhand store has been ringing nonstop ever since, and she’s received hundreds of phone calls, emails and social media messages.

Many of the people are angry that a Nazi flag was displayed in and being sold by her shop, saying it’s a symbol of hate.

“They called me a Nazi, racist bigot,” Danker said. “One guy … said he was going to burn my shop down. Another said he was going to come down and put a bullet through my head.”
