The organisers of a "March Against Fear" planned for Sunday to mark the Brussels terror attacks said they had cancelled the event after the authorities asked them to do so because of security fears.

"We understand this request. The security of our citizens is an absolute priority. We join the authorities in proposing a delay and ask people not to come this Sunday," the organisers said in a statement on Saturday.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

If liberals, women, and children cannot march against fear, it is time to send someone who can:

Anyone who thinks sending the last one is historically unprecedented and would do no good is completely wrong. There is precedent - President Washington leading the Army against the Whiskey Rebellion - and having a limp-wrist terrorist sympathizer go into combat against terrorists would do wonders for our country's security.

It’s often difficult to tell whether a lib is being ironic or willfully stupid.

That's like when they cancelled the winter fair in my hometown due to...cold weather. Yes, true story. It was too cold to ice skate, go sledding and drink hot chocolate.

I think it was around 15 degrees with wind chill around zero. When I was a boy, that was perfect weather for all those things. But now...too cold.

Shelter at home.

Muslims will never defeat us on the golf courses. Everywhere else, maybe.

Didn’t Yogi Berra say that? :-)

God Good, it’s Easter...we must cancel!

Eight years of Catholic elementary school, four years for Catholic JROTC.

Friends dead.

F...u!

You just could not make this stuff up. The march against Fear cancelled due to Fear!

[GOPJ]

Cultural suicide... fine if that’s what they want to do... but we can’t be part of it.

Get OUT of NATO now.

So they're afraid to march in their own city.

And obama wants to bring that here?

[Captainpaintball]

Cancelled due to fear of something happening to the protestors?

Or did the police tell protestors to cancel because they fear this will embolden the CITIZENS to take back their country, and that would go against the plans of the elite?

Don’t worry, the march against morons is still on.

[Gritty]

They are going to be eaten alive by these Muslims.

"We invite the citizens tomorrow to not have this manifestation," Interior Minister Jan Jambon said, speaking in English.

Belgium is, thus and sadly, the very model of a successfully terrorized county.

Reminsicent of that Washington D C Global Warming meeting, cancelled due to snow.

So many layers of karma, so little time.

[Westbrook]

The march should be organized by their military, with bomb-sniffing dogs.

And it wouldn’t hurt to have a random pig wandering through the crowd.

[FirstFlaBn]

Medical officials informed them there would be many injuries resulting from marching on their knees.
