According to this article Mayor Dennis Donahue of Salinas, California is asking residents to “fast for peace.” Yes, you read that correctly, the mayor apparently believes that starving residents will somehow make a better city for them.
From what I can tell Mayor Donahue is basically proclaiming lent asking the citizens of Salinas to give up something next week “in order to help rid Salinas of its plagues of drug use, gang culture, and increased levels of violence.”
I wonder if this guy wears a sash like Mayor Quimby? I will be anxious to see how his reelection goes.
I've got a better idea Mr. Mayor, hire more police, get them to do things like actual police work, educate your people, do something positive, but whatever you do please don’t leave it up to mindless symbolic actions that will do absolutely nothing.

Kinda like Larry Langford holding a prayer summit and telling people the best defense from crimes in Birmingham is prayer?
Not holding our corrupt officers responsible or actually paying the few good ones a decent wage...but prayer!
So the next time someone mugs you at gunpoint if you just pray, it'll be like wearing Kevlar!
Religious people are scary.
Larry is scary enough as is, add in fundathoughts and it just compounds my fear.
