Trigger Mike Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I just read an article on fox news that San Francisco is going to pay violent people $300 a month to not shoot someone and an additional $200 a month if they get a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I just read that at lunch and you beat me to posting the latest dumb idea to come out of California. Sort of like the bankrupt City of Stockton, Ca paying people a guarateed monthly income or food stamps being increased 25% because of increased costs while the polititians are telling there is no inflation. Just now, Sixgun Sheridan said: I'm a violent person. Where's my check? You need to move to California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hey, I lived in California for almost exactly forty years and never shot anyone. Is this retroactive? Think of the guns I could buy if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Depends on if you are a "high risk individual." Not sure how the city is going to determine if someone is a high risk of being a murderer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 My opinion on the article: Seems they feel if you 'pump' money to those such people, they wil then not 'NEED to' commit violent crimes...because they will have money (in form of gift cards) and thus will be better people and in return start being better people in their commmunities, thus improving those communities. AND at the risk of sounding racist, the article speaks of black communities. One such program was proved to be a failure...but sure, continue to repeat their mistake.

If they have only received three months of payments ($900.00) that is below the $950.00 California limit for theft. So no harm no foul. After three months you may be severely rebuked.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Here I thought that gun violence was the cause of all the shootings. So, if you pay people not to be violent, won't the guns commit the crime on their own? I'm now thoroughly confused. Shouldn't they be paying the guns? Can someone help?

"Advance Peace" plan Pre-qualify? Does that mean you have to shoot but only wound someone to prove you are a likely killer? I just read the article and my guess is about right. To pre-qualify you have to be “young men involved in lethal firearm offenses,” The program is sexist as it only seems to apply to men. Thus the courts will strike it down unless it also applies to women and transgenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Actually not a bad idea. Take 100 applicants for the "job" of which 10 of the most violent will be "hired" and tell them that a decision will be made in 30 days. Give each of the applicants a list of names/addresses of all of the other applicants. In 30 days (probably before 30 days) the list will have dwindled down to 10 applicants due to a unforeseen sudden death syndrome that seems to have affected them. Win, win situation. Repeat every two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hmmm…I felt like I could have shot a guy this morning on the freeway. I didn’t so I must be up for $300. Then again it’s the first of the month so that’s only ten bucks a day not to shoot someone. Do they have a fund that I can pay into so that I could just go ahead and shoot? That’s the plan I am looking for. I am kidding of course… Not really…. Yeah, I’m kidding… No, I’m not… I am so conflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
