| Sacramento City Council Approves ‘Advance Peace' Program |
| 2017-09-04 |
| [FOX40] After a violent weekend of suspected gang-related shootings, Tuesday the Sacramento City Council took action to reduce the bloodshed. It approved a controversial program called Advance Peace, which offers cash stipends to gang members who remain peaceful. The program is already in use in Richmond and is also being considered in Stockton. Some believe it can help curb violent crime. The vote came the same night as a vigil for the latest victim of gun violence in South Sacramento. |

| #15 Anybody can not kill people. The money must only go to those who would, absent the money, kill people. How do you tell the difference? To qualify for money for not killing people, you have to kill someone so the city can tell that you're really qualified, and not somebody who just doesn't kill people for free. So after an applicant shows up, is the application admissible in a murder trial. |

| #13 I live 30 miles from Sacramento and see this as further proof of the Appeasement Mindset that has taken over the state. Don't annoy the minorities and give them things and they won't bother you if you stay in your little enclaves. Now it's devolved to buying them off. What you subsidize you get more of, what you feed grows. The bleed over of gangbangers into the whitebread parts of my county is just starting. |

| #12 How are they going to know? You could be a drug lord and not be 'violent' (at least until you get caught). |

| #10 Because Danegeld has always worked so well... Also tells them who can be bought. Comes in handy to a Sacramento pol when an appropriate time comes. |

| #5 Advance Peace, which offers cash stipends to gang members who remain peaceful. I thought not going to jail was their price for remaining peaceful? |

| #4 Pretty soon every lowlife gangbanger in the country will be headed to Sunny Cal for the free money. This will work great until they run out of taxpayers. |
