Finally, after concerned ethnic Europeans were condemned as racist and ‘conspiracy theorists’ for stating the glaring obvious it is finally admitted – yes, it is official and so it is now approved by elected officials/public employees that almost all the gun violence in San Francisco is committed by non-whites.

What’s the solution to this almost exclusively non-white violence? Pay those who are not ethnic Europeans $300 a month not to shoot other people. 

San Francisco thinks it may have an answer for its rising gun violence problem: Paying people to not pull the trigger. The cunning plan is to provide the small number of San Franciscans who authorities believe are most likely to shoot someone or being shot, with an incentive to get help and stay out of trouble. It’s a solution that proponents say already has shown promise preventing gun crimes in other parts of California.

At worst, the program could be called ‘cash for criminals,’ like its predecessors in cities around the Bay Area. At best, it could save lives and tax dollars otherwise spent on incarceration.

The program, which will launch as a pilot in October, is called the Dream Keeper Fellowship. It’s San Francisco’s latest iteration of a guaranteed-income program that will provide high-risk individuals with $300 a month as a start.

Participants will be able to earn up to $200 more a month by hitting milestones in the program, such as landing a job interview, complying with probation or consistently meeting with a mentor.

The initiative will pair participants with newly hired life coaches from the Street Violence Intervention Program, known as SVIP, will help them make the right choices and access services. The theory is that the up to $500 stipend will serve as an incentive to participate and stay engaged.

‘We know that $500 in San Francisco is not a significant amount of money (when White taxpayers cough it up),’ said Sheryl Davis, a proponent of the program and executive director of the Human Rights Commission. ‘But if it’s enough to get you in to talk to folks, and be able to make a plan for your life, then that’s huge.’

This isn’t the first time a city has tried to reduce gun violence by offering cash. A similar anti-violence program in Oakland, for instance, offers young adults up to $300 for achieving milestones. What’s new is San Francisco would start people off with a baseline of $300 a month without having to meet any marks.

The program is modelled, in part, after the nationally watched Operation Peacemaker Fellowship in Richmond, which offers similar stipends of up to $1,000. A 2019 study published in the American Journal of Public Health linked the program to a 55% decrease in gun homicides and 43% decline in shootings since it began in 2010.

Officials want to kick off the latest program with about 10 participants in October, before expanding the stipends to another 30 high-risk individuals by the end of the year, officials said. They’ve already hired two life coaches to work with participants at SVIP and are looking to hire two more.

‘What we are actually doing is trying to address the root causes of some of what’s happened,’ Davis said. ‘Six thousand dollars per person, when you look at it annually, is nothing if it helps deter criminal activity compared to the amount of money it costs to incarcerate someone, let alone the impact of the activity itself.’

The program is being rolled out by the Human Rights Commission and Office of Economic and Workforce Development. It’s being funded in part through the Dream Keeper Initiative, an effort from Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Shamann Walton to divert funding from law enforcement to the Black community.

NOTE TO PONDER: Anything that calls itself ‘Human Rights’ is invariably a far-left Communist minded group with a toxic ideology that directly or indirectly cost the lives (human rights) of several hundred million people during the 20^th Century.

‘My desire is to get to them, not to just make an arrest, but to get to them and to try and figure out if they would be willing to work with us on something that is an alternative,’ Breed said at a Violence Prevention Summit hosted by the Human Rights Commission earlier this month. ‘We can’t just put them in a program without making sure that they have money, without making sure that they have something to take care of themselves.’

Analysis found that conflicts between just 12 street groups or gangs are driving the majority of gun violence in San Francisco. The groups tend to be made up of young Black and Latino men with extensive criminal histories who are considered very high-risk individuals.

To repeat: Hard to care about what’s happening in Afghanistan when local governments across the USA are actively working to de-criminalize crime and then pay individuals who should be behind bars a monthly stipend just for not behaving civilized.

Don’t shoot someone and be a person of colour in the process? Here’s a stipend of $300/per month for doing what basically every white person in America does 365 days a year. Crime, perhaps it should be pre-crime, does pay. Source
