Erricka Bridgeford received a standing ovation from the congregation at Kingdom Life Church Sunday.
Bridgeford, a special guest at the church in West Baltimore, and others had called for a 72-hour halt to the violence that has claimed the lives of more than 200 people in Baltimore so far this year — the fastest pace of violence in modern Baltimore history through July. Groups took the message to the streets, hosting dozens of events, staying out all night and offering food and services. The ceasefire was to end at midnight.
Despite their efforts, four people were shot, two of them fatally, in Baltimore Saturday and Sunday. Bridgeford reflected on what the ceasefire had achieved.
“We knew this one thing might not keep everybody from killing somebody,” she said. “We can talk about how we were afraid, and our fears became irrelevant, and we tried anyway.”

--"There is no question about whether the Baltimore Ceasefire is a success,” she said, [Erricka Bridgeford]. “Around the world, there’s no question about that.”
Another perfect example of Symbolism over Substance, feel-good liberalism.
Guess the bad guys didn’t get the message.
This kind of idiocy is what makes liberals so dangerous.
Not gonna be my usual snarky self for a change, may God listen to their prayers. They are at least trying. If they keep it up, some day it may help.
I agree with you completely; there are a bunch of God-fearing, good Christian folks victimized by this insufferable and corrupt city leadership.
Let that sink in. This could be many other sh*thole countries on the planet but this is LIBERAL America. They are a festering,contagious,malignant disease. It will NEVER get better as long as things stay the same as there are those on both sides of the political spectrum who are quite comfortable with the status quo for various selfish reasons.
Delusional. Sad.
Ponder the depths of this remarkable statement. Then *drink*.
>Despite their efforts, four people were shot, two of them fatally
They are going to need a Medium to contact two of those Spirits.
And then it was okay to start shooting again?
Liberal plans don’t have to work just need to feel good. They believe Republicans are the root cause not the Democratic control of Baltimore.
And of course, Tom Lehrer gave us his wisdom on this many years ago:

Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let’s not bicker and argue over who killed who ...
`rat cities have become real life purge movies.
“Baltimore ceasefire leaders say spirit of event will continue”
meaning continuing the meaningless Kumbaya nonsense while the slaughter continues unabated?
“OK, nobody kill anyone for 72 ho.... G0ddammit, LaDarius!”
“There he is! That’s him! That’s... the Warrior! He shot Cyrus!”
No, they are not trying. If they were serious, they would let police do their job. They would also cut off welfare and HUD housing for a lot of these people and stop paying people to have kids they can’t afford to raise and letting absentee “fathers” off the hook.
With leftists, results don’t matter.
What’s important is their feelings.
Just have the murder victims self identify as living... stunning success!
