That sounds a lot like how the West was civilized...it worked too.

From your
link:
He also added that in the 6 1/2 years since the O.N.S. Fellowship was launched, 72 percent of the Fellows have not been suspected for new gun crimes since becoming a Fellow.
So 28% of them HAVE been "suspected for new gun crimes," and an unknown percentage above that have avoided being caught or exposed.

FR isn’t close to what it once was, but posts like this are still around from time to time, and the main reason I still linger here.

If I correctly recall, the unanimously approved plan will rely on convicted felons as mentors (not making this up) and will offer gang-bangers a stipend of $1,000 per month to not kill people Oh my this plan sounds better all the time. I guess we should have waited for all the details before deciding it was a terrible plan.
I think we must have missed the point of the intended outcome. This sounds more like a vocational program for criminals...to make them better criminals. It will likely be very successful at that!

The star fellow was indicted in May for two murders- which happened while he was collecting $1300 a month from the program. Well it is obvious the problem is they are not paying enough. Time for the taxpayers to ante up more money.

the thing is, SacTown knows who the gangbangers are - enough to be able to cut them all a check. So, round them up, and put them to work rebuilding Alcatraz and tripling its size. Most are from the bay area, anyway.
or, we need an Australia to ship these clowns off to with a pocket knife and a box lunch.

Sometimes the stupidity absolutely amazes me. The cliché what could possibly go wrong immediately comes to mind. Exactly what I thought when I read it, I decided that would be too obvious for post #1 though. LOL

I think you are right. The same thing happens with those huge advances from publishers to people such as Hillary. It is a way to funnel funds to them.

Thats like giving in to terrorists on blackmail, which is just what will happen, the ante will keep going up to keep the violence down. I cannot imagine in a room full of supposed adults, anyone thought this was a good idea. The fact that it was voted by unanimous vote is stunning. Even for California. Not one clear thinking person in the room...not one.

Fellowship was launched, 72 percent of the Fellows have not been suspected for new gun crimes since becoming a Fellow.Maybe 28% are suspected of new gun crimes, and the rest have been arrested and convicted of new gun crimes. That is the percentages I would expect to see.
You know with liberals you have to really read between the lines...

Absolute insanity, and it only took the insane lunatics in California to make it happen.

Yea, that’ll work. Pay people who work at breaking the law to keep the peace of the law. So, to get paid there will need to be law breaking.
How about using the $1.5 million to arm the law abiding to shoot the law breakers?
To: Tammy8
and the rest have been arrested and convicted Good point. They are no longer suspects after they have been convicted.
