How bad has gun violence gotten in Sacramento, Calif.? City leaders now plan to pay gang members $1.5 million for a cease-fire.

I can go there and claim I’m in a gang. I’ll get one of those tattoos like they used to put in Cracker Jacks and tell them it’s my gangsta sign.

We did a similar thing in Chino many years ago. Free room and board, a job, clothing, arts & crafts, fresh air and a chapel.

Incredibly good idea. Good to know California is still the font of creativity it used to be.

The officials who approved this should be rode out of town on rails.

🏆🏀. Could they spend some tax dollars on signage. "Homicide free zone". No stabbing zone". Gun free zone". Those usually work. /s

I might be a gang member, OK I am. How do I get paid?
Recruits needed for the “Helping widows & Needy Gang” Under old management (very old management). Rewards are a touch delayed, it’s worth it though. If I’m wrong, I just waisted some time......

This is simply to funnel money to the gang with somebody getting kickbacks.

Welfare for murderers. The loonies are fully in charge now.

I have another solution that would lead to peace, their education and lives as productive citizens. They would come to officials to pay a monthly stipend to keep my solution from happening to them. All it takes are the correct actions to solve all of this.

This was Al Sharpton’s racket for years. Give him money and he wouldn’t be hostile at a business.
