The Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes & Drums need to chill out

Seems one of their members had the nerve to react to an historical moment, but was "suspended because he ignored military protocol."

Pull the ramrod out of your ass and chill, you dopes. You're not the fucking marines, but your campaign to make yourselves laugh stock has been completely successful.

An Ohio man who was suspended as the drum major of a band for giving President Obama a nod during last week's inaugural parade is calling it quits.

John Coleman resigned from the Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes & Drums a week after the parade in Washington. Publicity about his suspension had gotten to be too much, he told CNN affiliate WEWS.

"It's come to a point where I don't want embarrassment anymore between the pipe band and myself," Coleman, who is a firefighter, told WEWS on Tuesday.

Coleman was seen during the nationally televised January 20 parade nodding toward the new president while marching with the band. A few steps later, he appeared to wave briefly.

He told WEWS that as the band was marching past the grandstand where Obama was sitting, he made eye contact with the president.

"Contact was made with our eyes both together and he smiled and waved at the band," he told the station. "And just as a gesture, I nodded my head. I gave him a slight wave and went on."

Shocking behavior!

No, not the wave, the idiots that gave him grief over it.
