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

[Reptile]

A similar program has already been launched in Richmond, Calif.​

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.

It was also tried in Sacramento, where its promoters boast that ‘only’ 44% of participants were subsequently arrested on new charges.

Great track record!

I promise not to shoot anyone in SF, too. You can just send me a check.

Why? She’s probably safer there ….

300 a month in san fran is like breakfast for a week.... without coffee

 

[AJK129]

Can I get backpay for each month I haven't shot someone?

Another asinine measure from the lawmakers in San Fran, I’m not surprised. Next they’re going to pay vagabonds money to stop flinging their feces in the street.

Here's a mix-in of catchphrases from Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds and Howie Carr:

I'll believe that legal gun owners are high-risk individuals​

when they start getting a $300 kiss in the mail every month.​

Hey! Where do we sign up?

People looking for their $300 per month?

SF cost of living is 3x the national average. $300 isn't cutting it.

I completely misunderstood the Cash for Criminals thing. So, I think I need a place to dispose of a few criminals

So...I a Homie takes the cash, and then shoots some other banger, do they ask for the money back?

have two words for this nonsense: Prove it!

Similar to what we do in mass with the toll takers from my understanding. Extra pay if you don’t call out sick! I wish we had that policy at my employer

 

[StevieP]

I am starting to believe the Biden administration is paying the Taliban billions of dollars worth of equipment and trained them "to not shoot anyone."

What's a "toll taker"?

[MGnoob]

The sad thing is that someone’s going to get the $300 and be on one end of a gun anyway. It’ll prove the effectiveness of the program.

But well never hear about it

 

[JDL]

Ney York City has put a similar program in however it is $1000.00 a month and adds bonuses for going to school or getting a job

 

[Fixxah]

They need to be paid to choot the right people.

The big question, for you, is - do you put out???

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

What in the actual f**k?!? By paying these "high-risk" individuals a month check, they are incentivizing being "high-risk", and thus de-incentivizing being a normal, law-abiding citizen. Reward terrible behavior? Why not!

No. They get a 1099 to wipe their ass with. Jack.

Maybe we can outbid CA and designate who we want shot? I can think of two I’d chip in on…
