Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's hometown in Idaho on Wednesday canceled an event to celebrate his release after city officials were bombarded with angry phone calls and emails.
*SNIP*
The city said the June 28 event was canceled "in the interest of public safety."

Second attempt at “playing the victim” in this charade.
First was claiming Bergdahl is being “swift boated.”
Interest of safety? Wow. How about the interest of safety when this POS caused at least 5 American soldiers to die just by looking for F(expletive)
NO...the event was scratched because they realize there isn´t any reason to celebrate... DUH.
Public safety is a problem now that 5 (FIVE) top level AlQuaida/Taliban members are loose....sheesh.
They were safe enough. It was in the interest of embarrassment it was called off.
Nope, it’s in the interest of not having their local “traitor” mocked.
Aww, they should have had the “Welcome Home, Bowe” and “Mission Accomplished” banners in Pashtun! Y’know, so Bergdahl would be able to read them, don-cha-know...
Public Safety? Yeah, why not. There might be an overwhelming crowd of anti-Bergdahl folks there with signs with “Deserter” written on them... or, Bergdahl may be preparing for his upcoming court-martial...
they should be referred to as the Obama 5
What kind of idiots do these people think we are? It was canceled because these idiots saw the huge backlash against it, was becoming a PR nightmare.
Was this event “freeped” off?
I was hoping to get the rotten egg and over-ripe tomato concession for the parade.
Bummer.
Yes...you would have made a lot of green.
Yes, when you gather together that many jihadist-celebrating scum in one place, someone is bound to get hurt.
In other news the five released terrorists have filed a lawsuit against the United States and the Obama Administration.
The five terrorists are filing charges of racial bigotry because of their color and the demeaning of their value as human beings.
The reasons, they claim, is because the swap inferred they were each valued as only one fifth the worth of a white ballet dancer.
When Eric Holder was contacted, he responded, we take these
charges very seriously and he and obama are considering a out of court monetary settlement.

Safety my a$$! They better be sure he is not a brain washed “suicide bomber” looking for a target of opportunity. Then again, he might be a doppelganger since his English skills are rather poor for someone raised as an American.
“...canceled an event to celebrate his release after city officials were bombarded with angry phone calls and emails.”
I wonder if as many people died from the “bombardment of angry phone calls and emails” as those who died looking for the dip sh!t when he deserted?
Bowe’s release seems timed by the administration to capitalize on this annual event (gives Bowe just enough time to take some R&R before hitting the stage to the applause of the town).
Another “Obama got Osama” ra-ra moment. The guy, Kennedy, said he didn’t like the jingoistic overtones it was going to take.
