So, $300 for staying out of trouble & an extra $200 if benchmarks are met!

I am not. Just because I think that criminals deserve 'punishment' and not 'payment' does not make for a "complete misrepresentation". When our children misbehaved, we took things from them, we did not pay them for being bad. Leftists just do not think things through.

It will be funded with taxpayers’ money, as well as private donations and a possible federal grant, according to KGO. The original program in Richmond, CA hit a minor snag 😲 when a 22-year-old member ( Dawaun Rice) was sentenced to 40 years to life after admitting murdering two people in separate shootings while in the program, The Mercury News reported at the time. Yolanda Ficklin-Prothro, the grieving mother of one Rice’s victims, blamed the program organizers for her 29-year old son’s death. There is no misrepresentation.

The problem we're having with this concept is the same we're having with trusting a dog that bites.

LMAO, Hank! Perhaps that perspective might get through to anti....nah, it won't but it was a great try! 😂

Nah, he'll find some way to explain it away or change the subject.

Right again! 😆 We laugh because they are so misguided but it is so sad at the same time. I know you understand what I mean here. They are doing everything in their power to turn this country upside down.

We could always give Derek Chauvin one more chance, and pay him for his services. Just as long as he promises not to kill any multiple-felons high on Meth.

Maybe he could be a youth counselor. Or combat instructor.

Actually, $300 amonth to a drug dealer (maybe) is not much, they should at least be paying at least $1150 a week. That's $4600 a month.

That is $15 an hour, with a $1 dollar shift differential because most of the work, 40 hours, is second shift, that's $640.

Plus a $2 shift differential for 20 hours third shift differential, plus time and a half for overtime, that's another $510.

Then you have to realize more violence happens on holidays, so figure second shift is double time $32 and third shift is tripple time, $51.

Come on anti you gotta pay a living wage.

Yep, and when I was a teen I felt that working for $1.25, .25 cents under minimum wage was OK.

But you woke foke don't like people making personal decisions.

What effort? What are they required to do? And who is ensuring that they follow through?

Every week they do their rounds they can get their homies another 8 ball!

Unless he thinks it's better than being some guy's little wife in jail.

As opposed to what he’s getting now? I think he’d leap on that opportunity.

Changing the subject from murderers to police. Nimble

Strawman Argument. Cops wouldn't be in the situations where that occurs if criminals weren't being criminals. You can't use the outcome of the crime and criminal - as defense for why we should pay criminals to not do crime.

Isn’t that cute? It’s a leftist pretending he cares about the Constitution. What a cute widdle guy!

Yeah, he's big on the 6th. The 1st and 2nd? Hahahaha big no on those.

So you’re saying that someone entrusted to enforce the law should be removed from their position if they do it wrong? You ever hear of Joe Biden and the constitution ? How about the invasion of our southern border?

Bribing is correct as Dream stated. Rational people don't "hire" criminals to behave properly. Leftists throw money at problems. Money does not solve problems. Leftists ARE nothing BUT problems....

You are talking to a Marxist who thinks criminals are heros and cops villians.

Sydney, antithesis is the opposite of everything rational and right in our minds. The funny thing is that he actually realizes it as he chose his own username but is too far gone to change...

Yep and although we can experience emotions like joy, he is most definitely a perpetual outrage machine that only knows fear and hate. Who's only tactic is bullying those who view anything differently than him. Loves abortion, and laughs at torn apart victims. He'll never experience happiness. A truly soulless husk with no purpose in life but chasing hedonistic ventures and Marxist principals.

Not shot - ammo is too hard to come by and too expensive. Reuse & recycle - use a rope or arrows.

Forbids the gubmint!

Actually when you review the data - they started their program in the early 2000s - since that occurred, murder fell and rose and fell and rose. Their average is still ridiculously higher than the nearby cities and far above the national average. Rape? Also rose and fell and rose and fell and was still way above the national average. Assault? Same thing...

The only category of crime they are decent in is Theft - which is consistently lower than the national average - because no one has much worth stealing around there.

They've consistently been in the bottom of the barrel in terms of safety to the public there - having a whopping 94% of cities nationally being ridiculously safer to live in.

THAT'S your active comparison? Yeah let's get everywhere to be a poop hole like this place....

This is another example of people choosing progressivism over pragmatism - doing what makes you feel instead of doing what works. All this will really achieve is creating the next generation of criminals. What's going to happen when this grant money runs out?

You know why Crime fell so much in Richmond? It's what happens when rival gangs are eliminated. But don't expect to hear that from AntiThesis

The lack of accountability is rampant in this country, from the street criminals to the carreer criminals in Congress.

Can a man have a baby?

For dinner?

😂Lol, only in a few islands near New Guinea
