THIS IS NOT A JOKE!


The program will be called the Dream Keeper Fellowship, though likely to be dubbed “Cash for Criminals” in the media, and will pay select people $300 a month to avoid gun incidents.

And in October, the city will begin a highly unconventional (though not unprecedented) solution. The Examiner reports on a pilot program to begin then that will essentially offer high-risk individuals $300 a month to not shoot anyone, or be shot themselves.

In any normal city that could be considered extortion.

Now, is that $300 a flat rate, or is it $300 per person that's not shot, but who definitely deserves it?
