#3 Some believe it can help curb violent crime

I used to believe in the tooth fairy. Then I grew up.

#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.

#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?

#6 Spend the cash on prisons for gang members.

#9 And how do they know a) who should get the money and b) who remains peaceful.

Oh and please pay me not to grow grass too.

Also tells them who can be bought. Comes in handy to a Sacramento pol when an appropriate time comes.

#11 So now we're down to negotiating a price.

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

#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.

#14 They follow Section 8 housing expansions around here, NoMoreBS.

Same thing, free sh*t.

#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.
