Tyree Moorehead spent 18 years in prison for second degree murder which he committed when he was 15
A Baltimore convict and community activist has come up with what he says is solution to the city's soaring murder rate - paying killers not to shoot people.
Tyree Moorehead spent 18 years in prison for second degree murder which he committed when he was 15.
He was released from prison in 2012 and has since devoted his time to trying to work with criminals in Baltimore to reduce crime rates.
He told FOX 45 this week that he believes the way to lower the city's soaring shooting numbers is to pay criminals not to kill people.
'I can relate to the shooters, guess what they want? They want money.
'I've talked to these people, I've seen the shooters, it’s a small city, I know who the hustlers are,' he said.
He didn't give any more details as to how such a system would work.
Baltimore had the second highest murder rate in the US in 2018 and 2019 after St Louis.
New Orleans and Baton Rouge in Louisiana were second and fourth.
Chicago's gun violence problem is prolific but its number of murders there per capita has never put it in top five for deadliest cities in the US.

In 2016, officials in Richmond, California, tested a program where they paid young offenders for staying out of trouble.
As part of that program, convicts or troubled youths could earn up to $1,000 if they completed a series of goals over a certain amount of time.
Community 'peacekeepers' - ex-cons - were used to enforce it and it lowered the city's murder rate to the lowest it had been for 30 years.

All convicted killers where the evidence is irrefutable should be unceremoniously run through a wood chipper.
I’m talking about sentencing to Court House basement wood chipper within 5 min.
Have the output spout blow out a basement window.
Kinda like a public hanging only wetter.
Mommy, why is the grass so much greener over there?
So, first you have to identify killers so you can pay them not to kill; typical liberal logic.
This started with early gun buy back programs. To keep liberals happy the police departments had to agree NOT to take names or check ID’s.
The result- cops recognized folks they had arrested turning in guns they had stolen for the cash reward - then using that money to buy better guns for their ‘trade’...
I’ve a better idea: arm their victims and the one by one watch the locals bury the criminal underclass.
How are they able to buy better guns; weren’t they felons?
Liberals said street criminals wouldn’t hand in their guns if they thought they might be identified or arrested. Of course the cops there keeping an eye on things knew the criminals by sight...
It was one more way thugs manipulated silly white liberal ‘elites’...
Shooting the shooters seems like a more sensible plan.

Makes sense.
I believe the normal word for this concept is “extortion”.
Not surprising considering who’s proposing it.
You’re kidding....right?
Yeah ....
From “The Wire”— “These guys need to form a union.”
Actually, the black on black shootings are rarely motivated by money, except perhaps occasionally in connection with drugs. Mostly it’s just the out of control anger, “he dissed me” problem. This comes from not having any moral structure and no father to enforce one.
Black churches would be much better advised to spend their time working on faith and morality than on trying to get out the vote for the Dems.
It’s a good idea if I can deduct it from my taxes
Now that I know it isn't, can I get in on the payments. I promise, once the payments start, I won't shoot a soul except in cases of self-defense.
Absolutely, they have been conditioned to accept there station in life due to the color of their skin.
Since they have been told that they are incapable of ever rising above their personal circumstances, they expect/demand people give them “free sh!t”, or they will turn violent.
Pretty damned sad actually, but they continually perpetuate the cycle over and over again.
“Tyree Moorehead spent 18 years in prison for second degree murder which he committed when he was 15”
Second degree murder...hell he would be given probation if he did that today.
That sounds just a little bit like extortion
Indeed as Al Capone called it protection.
