This is just scary. Name calling, door slamming, being escorted out of meetings… sound familiar?
Evidently Wilkes-Barre City Council meetings get “buck wild” too. Mayor Thomas Leighton of Wilkes-Barre allegedly called City Wide Towing & Repair’s owner “cupcake” during a city council meeting. Bob Kudluboski (City Wide’s owner) erupted calling the mayor a “punk” and was escorted out of the building by city police.
When questioned after being ejected, one of Bob’s comments was “Why was he (the mayor) standing back there anyway? Is he trying to make me punch him in the face?”

Interesting, but not too surprising I suppose.
People are people no matter where you go.
Sadly, that’s about the case. Ya gotta love the whole “punch you in the face” mentality. Such a mature articulation in the face of adversity.
It’s good to know this would never happen with our Mayor. She’d be too focused on eating the cupcakes rather than calling somebody one.
LOL!
