Since when did Toledo, Ohio become The City of Pansies?

The 200 members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., planned to spend their weekend engaged in urban patrol exercises on the streets of downtown as well as inside the mostly vacant Madison Building, 607 Madison Ave.
Toledo police knew days in advance about their plans for a three-day exercise. Yet somehow the memo never made it to Mayor Finkbeiner, who ordered the Marines out yesterday afternoon just minutes before their buses were to arrive.

“The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people,” said Brian Schwartz, the mayor’s spokesman.

What a buffoon. It’s as if this nut job is just begging al-Qaeda to hit Toledo so he can show off how unprepared his city is. In fact, bad people look for whimps so they can maximize their fear factor. Toledo is now clearly the most frightened city in America, spooked by their fellow American’s practicing to rescue those in need if the situation arises. The mayor will probably pay dearly for making his town out to be such weak-kneed scaredy-cats. I would say his next election is in deep trouble.
