Anybody listen to Glenn Beck today? (Columbus Mayor Coleman Confronted on Mifflin H.S. Incident)

Downtown Columbus was a thriving and rejuvenated area after eight years of a Republican mayor. Coleman was elected and it has gone so far down hill that it will take years to come back.

I don't know if you have watched the 11-o'clock news, but Channel 4 here in Columbus was the only one to have the story covered. Coleman was interviewed later in the afternoon and he basically said "that I was not going to let anyone mess with Columbus like that and I am going to fight back." He rips Beck for the fact he "does not live in Columbus."
Channel 6's opening story was another assault at another Columbus Public High School.

Channel 10 did not have anything on the story. I am not shocked by that.

610 WTVN is still talking about that and they are harping on Coleman's comment that "he was not offended about the incident." Even a Democrat called in and she said "Coleman scares me."

Here's one news account of the call  Mayor Calls Beck's Show

According to this News Account there are still no official charges against the administrators.

Whether school administrators will be charged is unclear. State law requires officials to immediately report cases of abuse to law enforcement or face up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine, City Attorney Richard Pfeiffer Jr. said.

However, he said, officials would be charged only if someone filed a complaint. So far, no complaint has been filed. An attorney for the girl’s father would not say whether he planned to file one.

Here is contact info for the school: Mifflin High School
3245 Oak Spring St
Columbus, OH 43219
Franklin County
Phone: (614) 365-5466

According to this link here is the info for the city attorney.
City Attorney Richard Pfeiffer, Jr.
90 West Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215, 645-7385

I am watching the same thing happen now in several Florida cities.

The early warning signs seem to be: expanding budgets and municipal employment; showpiece civic projects; a rise in identity and grievance politics; and the injection of PC considerations into city government and police work.

Within a few years: budgets are out of balance and taxes raise; the big civic projects turn out to be over budget money-losers; identity and grievance politics hijacks civic life and demoralize the municipal workforce; and the crime rate runs up, with the true extent often masked by deliberate under-reporting.

I know nothing of Columbus. But is that the scenario being played out?

Coleman truly made an ass out of himself.

I heard the actual interview all over 610, I'm trying to download the mock one with Stu, is that funny?

[macaddict]

right rocky, ever heard this one, "yeah, we're getting a light rail system". We're the BIGGEST US city with no real public transit. Coleman is intent on keeping us flyover land.

" another assault at another Columbus Public High School."

By a student of a student or a teacher?

[mommadooo3]

Beck tried to ask him how he felt about this incident as a man and a father. Coleman said "Don't question my manhood!"

NOPE, no questions about his 'manhood'.

It's OBVIOUS that his 'manhood' is planted in his toilet, OR the nearest sink, OR running down the leg of his political party.

Black liberals are their own best parodies. No one else could make up the idiocy they spout.

Sounds like I made a smart decision leaving Columbus many years ago!

Glenn just took it to Sean's evil partner tonight on Fox.

Is it any wonder that the nation's 10th-fastest growing county is directly to the north of Columbus??????

Just to be safe, I moved TWO counties north. ;-)

Columbus has been corrupt for years. Check the website. They couldn't stand my client Jerry Doyle at the school board or at city hall so they just basically banned him until i stood up and started suing.

jerry doyle's story as reported to the weekly magazine columbus alive:

Michael Coleman was a complete asshole the whole time; ignored my calls, etc. We've got it all on tape. And they are still violating Civil Rights in the schools today, with regard to Due Process hearings. We got that on tape, too.
