Pay Me Not to Shoot You...

So you're gonna' wanna' hear about this one.

Our common sense-deprived friends in San Franpoopco have finally gone over that proverbial edge.  Their City Council and Mayor London Breed have decided to pay their "at risk" citizens $300 a month not to shoot each other.  It's called the "Dream Keeper Project," and it's designed to "protect" those at either end of "gun risk;" the shooter, or the shootee.  

You read that right.  They're going to take some of the $120 Million they're removing from their police budget ("defund the police!") and use it to pay their known prospective murderers...not to murder each other.  Now, one would think that if they knew exactly who was a prospective murderer, they'd be watching that person pretty closely to prevent it, now wouldn't they?  But that would be stretching common sense to the extreme.  And it sort of seems to me people have to show up and admit their intent in order to sign up for all this taxpayer largesse, wouldn't you say?  Like, "Hello, I intend to murder my neighbor unless you start paying me."    

Instead, they'll just pay them not to do it.  Maybe it bring new meaning to "drive-by" shooting.  You drive slowly past the police department and they'll toss you your payment.    

Now, it seems to me that once you codify a certain act or skill or talent as being worth payment to do it, or in this case not to do it, it's obvious that those within that classification or grouping who possess the greatest skill and talent level will rise to the top.  Like cream.  And therefore they'll likely demand even more money because they're even more likely to offend.  

Having been given a taste of public bucks some might even demand $1,000 a month not to leave carnage in the streets, or $5,000, or even more!  And then those in the bottom of that grouping will obviously anger at being given short shrift and start acting out.  Hey!  Look at me!  They'll blast away in response.  Forcing San Franpoopco to shovel even more cash in their direction, too.

It's called human psychology, understood by all except Democrats.  Especially San Franpoopco Democrats.

I'm thinking given the location of all this insanity, the next thing we could expect is them to form a union and demand their Rights!  They'd threaten to strike, or in this case "shoot," if they aren't paid more.  And maybe even to team up with the gangs in order to cause more blood to run in the streets.  And maybe also threaten to start proselytizing others to come and join their happy band of paid non-killers.  Wanna' make an extra $300 a  month?  Yeah, come along and join us.  

Well now, that just might poke a yuuuuuge hole in Mayor Breed's little scam, er' plan, to, as she indicated in private, "help her Black constituency."  Nothing like favoring one part of your voters over others.  But maybe the fact that she's Black gives us a clue...

So paying people not to shoot each other.  Cogitate on that one for awhile.  Hey, I've got it!  Mayor Breed!  Pay me not to move to San Franpoopco and start killing all your Black constituents!  I'll cave for $300 a month.
