San Francisco will pay people to not shoot others: 'Cash for criminals'

San Francisco is rolling out a pilot program that will pay high-risk individuals to not shoot anyone as gun crimes tick up in the city.

"These small investments can transform the lives of individuals, but they can also transform communities," Sheryl Davis, executive director of the Human Rights Commission, told Newsweek.

The Dream Keeper Fellowship will pay 10 individuals who are at high risk of being on either end of a shooting $300 each month to not be involved in such crimes.

Participants of the program will be paired with life coaches from the city's Street Violence Intervention Program and will serve as "community ambassadors." Participants are also eligible to receive an additional $200 per month through ways such as, working, going to school or being a mediator in potentially violent situations.

I have a lot of bad to say about this. I'll just paraphrase "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!" old Forest

Against.

Drug testing is needed in San Francisco..

$500 a month or $6,000 a year, tax free so they can either buy drugs or more guns.

Once upon a time we made the criminals pay, not the taxpayers...

If they want to pay people for being high risk of being on either side of a shooting, make 'em cops.

Morons....

"It was also tried in Sacramento, where its promoters boast that ‘only’ 44% of participants were subsequently arrested on new charges — well, as long as you don't count about one-third of the participants who dropped out or were arrested in its first six months.

The wheels have come off and nobody gives a chit.

Well deserving of a "like" button.

What have we become. Legalize extortion?

We are so close to do-whatever-you-want that we can see it.

Who say's "Crime doesn't Pay."

And we have a winner!

And we have a winner!

I guess it would be considered taxable income!!!!

I'm sure not, that wouldn't be fair.

I' sure these killers pay their taxes just like ol Al Sharpton

I think it is a good idea. If they don't shoot anybody for a couple of months then they will have saved up enough money for a decent gun.

Is this considered passive income?

Don't we pay the inmates that work on the pea farms, that's the only way I see we pay them. Then, when they get out, they have a little cash till they can get to a liquor store to rob.

Here’s my new retirement plan. Step One - Move to San Francisco. Step Two - Shoot some people(only one's that need shooting) Step Three - Apply to the state for funding to stop shooting people.

I wonder if I'm good for two or three years if they will cut off my funding...That could put me in a Catch-22 situation. I will have to shoot
somebody so they will keep paying me not to shoot somebody.

I support paying them in precious metals. We should give them all the lead they want.

If they had any kind, of justice system.
We wouldn't be having this discussion.
