The hometown of U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has canceled a rally planned for later this month celebrating his release from five years of Taliban captivity, a municipal official told Reuters on Wednesday, amid allegations that he was a deserter.

They’ll have a pajamaboy Dem metrosexial tell us ,”Dude, that was like 3 years ago.”
They couldn’t buy enough security for the event.
Damn, I was hoping a televised parade with it terminating at a set of gallows.
They just flashed it as a headline on USA Today’s phone app.
I like the way you think. :)

"...because the town "will be unable to safely manage the number of people expected."
"manage" . . .the necessary security to manage such an event would be massive. Perhaps this is why
This 'Bergdahl/GITMO-5 deal' was quite an eye opener for this administration. They can now see they aren't sitting quite as comfortably as they had convinced themselves.
And that is why I think it was cancelled. I think they realized the parade would be attended by people that wished to express their displeasure, in a legal manner protected by the First Amendment.
I think a lot of protesters would have shown up, which is why they said they couldn’t handle the number of people that would show.
Probably 5 protesters to every person celebrating.
Obama probably thinks not enough...
Ha Ha.
I wondered about that. As a Jew, King would have been among the first to lose her head to those who Bergdahl was assisting. Although the left, including way too many Jews, still seems supportive of jahadis so long as they’re anti-American.
A real shame, particularly after the town invited Mullah Omar to officiate the homecoming celebrations.
Carole King and other may have been doing it for the right reasons- they may noy have known the full story.
I don’t know if it was Bergdahl’s personal politics that were a big issue to her, but I think any entertainer would step back at a moment like this and wait to see how the cards play before becoming more entangled in the controversy/scandal.
Originally she was just going to play at a concert to raise awareness. Then it became one to celebrate his release. His release isn’t quite what was originally hyped.
The city knows how to discourage protesters. Hire the Westboro Democrats to “protest”. No one would stand with them but a whole lot would become “counter protesters”. Media wouldn’t need to get into who was protesting “what”.
Hailey's Vomit
That’s actually the perfect title
