CeaseFire is largely a bunch of hooey

Glad to see people are still telling it like it is:

You might say that CeaseFire is this decade's DARE. The media loved the narrative of DARE. Politicians loved touting DARE. The public lapped up DARE. Law enforcement wedged every budget request they could think of into a DARE grant, no matter how far from drug education it was. The only problem was that nearly every independent study ever done showed that DARE didn't work. At all. Nada.

Hugh, we're doing another open thread this Friday during the city council meeting. Hope to "see" you there!
