Thank you for posting this. I am floored that my Mayor of Salisbury is pushing for Gay Pride in Salisbury when we have crime out of control and housing going into foreclosure. This man is a lunatic when he puts gay sex as a priority. This man is a sick individual and those people that like his page are just as sick. You idiots are morons and I bet the majority of them don't even live in the city limits.

Did he force them to close for the evening? Those adult stores have more gay people then straight. Hurts their business!

Maybe if Ireton had spent as much time since he's been in office going to and speaking with Labinal executives about their concerns in stead of being in bars, 100's of people wouldn't be without jobs. An unprofessional play baby is all he is.

It's not. It was done last week or the week before with the same Homo Mayor. It is Gay Pride and everyone who has any intelligence knows it.

I went joy riding last week because I was bored and took my 12 y/o daughter with me. I wanted to see how downtown Salisbury was happening since Ireton, Day and a couple of their friends keep promoting it. I parked in front of the Brick Room and took a look inside just to see what it looked like. My young daughter said "Dad there is nothing, but guys in there." We left.

I could care less if he promotes gay pride or whatever but it gets old that he does devote so much time to parties and very little to any meaningful economic development.
What has he done to get any one of the businesses on the Western Shore who are looking to relocate to come to Salisbury.
It seems as if his specialty lies in testing bar stools and that is not one bit acceptable for a mayor in one of the most economically depressed areas in the state.

It's disturbing that this mayor is encouraging college students to go to a bar. He should be encouraging them to volunteer, help clean up neighborhoods, whatever but should never ever encourage them to party which we all know involves alcohol. There is a great lack of not only professionalism but maturity as well that should concern everyone. He's edited since it's been posted here.

Here's something to think about. Let's just take a small percentage of gay people and put them on 2 different Islands.

Let's put five 20 year old gay men on Island 1.

Let's put five 20 year old gay women on Island 2.

They are the only humans on the island and both Islands are 50 miles apart.

The number 5 is used for comprehension purposes. Let's just say this percentage is representative of all gays in the world. After all the Dems are pushing for all humans to be gay because they think it is ok and they think it is normal.

Since now everyone is gay what do you think will happen to these 2 populations in the "new" world?

DJ Mayor? Wow. Is he a relative of Rob Ford? What he does in his personal time is his business but to drag his job title into being drunk, etc. is beyond unprofessional.

What a shame and embarrassment to the community.

I can assure you his ego is bursting because a few of his minions are supporting him, but this just makes him look like some immature drunken 0 year old. Not a professional community official.

I agree with previous commenters that he should be promoting more business like activities and not drunken gay orgies.

I have no respect for this person, and consider him unable to make good decisions based on this continued bad judgement and public display of bad conduct.

Keep is classy smallsbury.

Maybe it's time for straights to sue the in-your-face homosexuals for affecting our emotional stability of something. This is ridiculous! Especially coming from an elected official. But, then, Salisbury voters spoke, which tells you where Salisbury is headed. Glad I'm outta there!

Yes this is sad. If you view his Facebook there isn't any kind of community outreach projects/events posted. Nothing but bar related activities and posts attempting to ridicule and bring down the republicans. We live in another county and happened to drive around Salisbury a few weeks ago and I was stunned at how dilapidated the area is. Yes there are a few small pockets here and there that are nice, but the overall picture was one of overall poverty. It was school day and time and it was an eye opener to see so many school aged children out running the streets and people openly drinking alcohol who you can tell are most likely unemployed. I'm not exactly sure where this was but over and beyond Salisbury Brick Co we saw this. The south Baltimore areas of Brooklyn and that area of Ritchie Hwy comes to mind when I visit Salisbury anymore. That highway is like 13 and if you go off of it onto any side street you are certain that you may witness a drive by or some other crime.

Lets not forget that this ass is a school teacher. My kids are older, but if you have young children or grandchildren you should make sure he never has the opportunity to influence them. He is also on the local teachers union board of directors. Everyone should contact the board of education and ask that he be removed from any and all contact with children.

OK John, While that would be considered stalking, I openly and freely give you 100% permission to publish, (anywhere you want) such mentioned video.

You see John, I NEVER drink and drive, ever. I am dropped off and picked up wherever I go.

I published your comment because I want to prove to everyone that you are a blatant and habitual LIAR.

We'll see the receipts and video shortly after john robinson opens the skate park I guess-which will be never. Or when he gives the video he says he has of Joe assaulting him to JT-which will be never. More John Robinson lies.

He is on the lawless teachers union board of directors to make sure they do not support any more Republicans. He is also trying to make a name for himself because he is eyeing Norm Conway's old position or Andy Harris' seat. If something were to happen with Jim Mathias such as Jim Mathias accidentally gets Bab's seat Ireton will run for Mathias' seat. It's all in the plan.

The adult bookstore that was recently closed was primarily frequented by sketchy individuals and the criminal element. Its location and general environment felt unsafe and served as a deterrent to potential customers. There is nothing wrong with adult bookstores in general, but the one in question was certainly degrading our community.

In contrast, the Brick Room seems to be a prospering new business that is helping to breathe much needed life into downtown Salisbury. I understand that you may not agree with the politics of "pride night," but as a capitalist, you should also recognize the potential economic benefits of such establishments. The only way to revitalize the city of Salisbury is to encourage investment in our community through entrepreneurship by a wide variety of people.

ROFLMFAO. Too precious for words. Unfortunately, this speaks to 99% of the politicians out there, not just the idiot mayor.

And yes, to the person who said the idiot mayor has designs on higher office, absolutely correct. If not, why would the name of his election committee be "Ireton for MD?"

This Idiot thinks he can hissy fit his way to the governor-ship of MD.

Someone really needs to put this POS out of his misery.
