Denver Newsroom, Feb 22, 2021 / 07:01 pm (CNA).- Amid calls from California activists to drop vandalism charges against five assailants who destroyed a statue of St. Junipero Serra last year, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco warned that doing so would set a dangerous precedent.
“If a crime caught on videotape and witnessed by the police were not to have been prosecuted, it would have sent a profoundly disturbing message to the hundreds of thousands of people of faith in Marin County: churches, synagogues, mosques and temples are at the mercy of small mobs,” Cordileone said in a Feb. 19 statement.

Alameda officially renamed the former Jackson Park named for slave-owning and Native American-oppressing U.S. President Andrew Jackson Chochenyo Park, for the language spoken by the island s original inhabitants, the Ohlone tribe. (Getty Images/iStockphoto)
ALAMEDA, CA Alameda officially renamed the former Jackson Park named for slave-owning and Native American-oppressing U.S. President Andrew Jackson Chochenyo Park, for the language spoken by the island s original inhabitants, the Ohlone tribe.
The City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday, with Councilman Tony Daysog dissenting. Alameda stripped the park of its name in July after a two-year process that began with a petition signed by more than 1,000 Alameda residents asking for the removal. The movement picked up steam in 2020 with the national outrage surrounding the killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others by law enforcement around the country.
