San Francisco is offering to pay people $300 a month - if they promise not to shoot each other. The 'woke' scheme to curb soaring violent crime is set to begin in October, offering gift cards as an incentive for prospective criminals to lay down their guns. Called the Dream Keeper Fellowship, the pilot program will kick off with 10 individuals who are deemed at high risk of committing a shooting or being shot, paying them $300 to act as 'public safety ambassadors.' Sweeteners could kick the monthly payments up to $500 if they meet certain benchmarks, such as seeking a job or maintaining parole appointments.

We went to San Fornication on our honeymoon many years ago. It was so nice back then.
I wouldn't go back now if you gave me 1st class airline tickets, a free room at the nicest 5 star hotel in town, $10,000 to spend while I was there, and free meals at nice restaurants the whole time I was there. Of course, pretty soon the SF tourism commission will probably have to start offering that deal to get anyone to go there.

A better use of the billions of dollars we have, over the last 6 decades, poured into black social programs, would be to encourage tween-age black girls not to get pregnant before they are married. The difference in life-outcomes from those born into a stable mother-father home compared to those born to single women is astounding. Black or white, if you are the product of single-parent upbringing, most likely you will fare worse over your lifetime than your two-parent raised peers.
Let's stop analyzing social outcomes based on race and instead start studying the benefits of a two-parent upbringing. Because blacks are much less likely to marry than whites, the results of such a study would probably track very closely to the racial identities being studied.

Just when you thought that these lunatics had run out of ways to waste money and make everything worse.....they invent an "innovative" new way to waste money and accomplish NOTHING good.
Gee, every couple of months they can use this cash to buy another handgun. If they're not picky, they can get one a month.

$200 extra if they keep parole appointments. So they still get $300 even if they miss their parole appointments? Sounds more like just don't get caught shooting anyone.

San Francisco is now Little Kabul. The government pays bad people not to kill good people. The only question is: did the libs in the Pentagon steal this idiot idea from the libs in San Francisco or the other way around?

So of I commit enough crimes they will pay me to say I stopped.
This is not at all a perverse incentive to commit even more crimes to make the list. Not at all. /sarc

Why are they doing this? Because felons vote! Nevermind the legality of it all. Criminals have no regard for the law.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to live for free,
The wretched refuse of your steaming streets.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden gate!”

As has been said before, 'There are some ideas so stupid only an 'intellectual' can believe them." And lefties really, really like to style themselves, 'intellectuals'.

Now instead of being robbed in person, the citizens will be robbed by their government on behalf of the criminals every time one of these "protection " payments is made.

Okay. So what happens if some two-legged dirtbag who has already been paid $300 per month not to shoot people can't resist the temptation and shoots someone. Does he get fined $300?

Cash for criminals? The left's position for years has been that we need to keep increasing welfare or "they" would have to commit crimes. Nowadays they even get free sail phones atop free housing, utilities, food, medical care, and cash benefits, and still the criminals keep criming.
