“Sacramento City Council Votes Unanimously To Pay Gang Members $1.5 Million To Not Kill People”
The vote had been scheduled to take place in two weeks, but Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg requested that the vote be moved up after five people were shot in a park.
“Five people were shot in Meadowview on Sunday,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said, according to Fox 40. “Let’s get going on doing everything we can to save innocent lives.”
The funding for the payments to the criminal gang members will come from the city’s general fund. The money will go to 50 men who are suspected of killing people, but there’s not enough evidence to prosecute them.
“Fifty is a huge number. That’s 50 shooters who have the possibility of taking a life,” Nicole Clavo said according to KCRA. “If we can reach those 50, how many lives have we changed?”
The Advance Peace program started in Richmond, CA and has been credited by some with reducing murders in the city; Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert disagrees.
“I support the gang prevention task force and the many evidence-based youth mentoring and intervention programs already in existence in the city of Sacramento. I have serious concerns with a program that is apparently based upon the payment of money to high-risk individuals in exchange for a promise not to engage in violent criminal conduct. There is insufficient evidence-based data to show this approach is effective in preventing gun violence.” END
I’m starting a gang called the SKA, Sacramento Killers Association. Who wants to join? As soon as we have 2 or more people I will sign us up for monthly payments, sound good? The bigger the better, and the only rule in our band is, you can’t kill anyone, we’re totally non-violent.
If ever there was a need for the chatspeak expression, OMG, this is it!
The liberals who infest this blog will just love this new gooberment program.
And I bet they will push for a big tax increase so it can be implemented state wide.
You ready to open up your wallet even more, Captain Jack?
Gotta love Mayor Darrell Stinkbug handing out boat loads of money to murderers.
When the liberals win back the city council I can just see Mayor Schwabbie writing checks to murderers, too.

A brand new cottage industry! Sign me up, Jack!
So what’s next? Paying antifa not to demonstrate/destroy? Or Repubs not to vote? How about Illegals to stay in Mexico?
Maybe even paying the LunaticLeft not to comment on Post Scripts . . . . .
Two questions:
1. If they know these people are murderers but they can’t prove it and lock them up, how are they going to prove they are not living up to the agreement if they continue to murder?
2. What is the mayor going to do if 6 months from now the murderers organize and demand more money to be good? Liberal government agencies have not been very successful negotiating with organized entities.
The murderers will probably join the SEIU or other gooberment union and then the unions will stuff Steiny’s heiny full of even more money and then of course Steiny will tell us the hapless taxpayers have got to pay them more!
You guys all make great points, especially Common Sense. How would they know if they are abiding by their agreement? I’ll tell you how, unions! Ya got to have a killer’s union, where contracts are assigned. A union card, a time card and a prevailing wage. Liberals will just have to pony up if they want to do this right.
