“Syracuse leaders are considering a program focusing on mental health, education, career placement and possibly providing a weekly $100 stipend to people associated with gangs as an incentive to maintain positive behavior.”

I just can’t…

[ronnie raygun]

Paying criminals now to behave, sick and getting sicker

[bert]

To get Black votes, one must Kiss Black Ass.........it’s an existential exercise

[desertsolitaire]

You can pay the Dane-geld....but you never get rid of the Dane that way.

[AppyPappy]

I’m in a gang

[GOPJ]

Most gang members are already collecting Social Security Disability...

[jimwatx]

Sounds like an inducement to join a gang.

[C210N]

I’m now thinking of becoming a Gang Member.

Where do I signup for the stipend?

(I promise to sign over the stipend to the FR fundraiser)

[Lazamataz]

I’m so glad I left that POS liberal state, 23 years ago.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Why become one? Isn’t just identifying as a gang member sufficient?

Unless they demand proof.

Yeah, a little “walking around money”...

"Most gang members are already collecting Social Security Disability."

That is sad, but true...

[I want the USA back]

The end goal is to destroy America. Paying criminals to be criminals is a sure way to reach that goal.

The left is obsessed with beating hard-working individuals into submission and with taking all the money earned by decent people and giving it to the dregs of failure.

” weekly $100 stipend to people associated with gangs”

They need it to stay in business.
Ammo is getting more expensive.

I can. WHY do progressive liberals absolutely believe that everything they think(?) Up will absolutely work....until it doesn’t? And then ,because they never learn, come up with another hare brained scheme that is almost a clone of the one that DIDN’T work, expecting it will work. Isn’t there a word for that kind of thinking?

[military cop]

But it worked so well in Afghanistan….,,

[TokarevM57]

.....my sentiments exactly....left New York State after graduating from Syracuse University in the early 1970s and never looked back..that was a half-century or so ago...

[Fresh Wind]

They got the idea from San Fransicko.

[Abathar]

They’re playing 3D chess with them is all.

At the end of the year they’ll issue a 1099 on what they were paid. The city knows they aren’t going to declare it, that way they can go after them like Capone.

[Tell It Right]

It’s called “privilege”.
