Why does it have to be “revived” ?

[CatOwner]

Of course the program has the word “ceasefire” in its name.

Could go the alternative ... give them all guns and ammunition and deal with the survivors.

"Community members, religious leaders, and formally incarcerated individuals gathered on the steps of..."
-------------------
Did they really write that? Methinks they meant "formerly incarcerated"...otherwise they sprung felons out of jail to gather on the courthouse steps?!?

Why is this so hard to understand? The consequences of moral depravity are simple. You shall know know them by their works.
Government schools teach nothing about true morality and are prohibited from teaching Biblical truths. The Ten commandments solves the puzzle but hey, who cares? Every man for himself; rob, pillage and plunder but just wait till it happens to you. We are on our way to total collapse.

Are they going to “restructure” the criminals?

Typical liberal crap. Form a committee, then congratulate themselves.

(In an election year)

Oh, good grief, if they just passed a few more gun laws violent crime would stop immediately. 🙄

“The most important fact is to bring the community, sit the community back in the driver’s seat, into this fight of prevention,” said safety activist Shedrick Henry.

Was Kamala Harris on hand to add to these word salad statements?

I used to have a satellite office in Oakland, in the early 2000s.

I became an expert at rarely going that office.

Advice to anyone driving by the once very nice city of Oakland (880, 580 etc) keep going. There is absolutely no good reason to offramp there (or anywhere in the east bay.)
