Only an idiot thinks this is a good idea.

What happens when demands start coming from other gangs.

this isn't a new program, and that isn't what happened before

the reason this type of intervention could be successful is that 1) very few people commit a huge proportion of violent crimes (well, all crimes) and 2) identifying who is going to commit violence before it occurs is hard, since even for the most disadvantaged youth, the vast majority of people don't commit violent crimes

essentially what this does is target a wider net of at-risk youth than just violent criminals per se, but a smaller net than programs aimed at the whole group of kids who are socially or economically disadvantaged

tbqh I would put it into the "community policing" bucket of crime prevention, I think a lot of the program could work even without stipends

I retract my earlier statement. I'm surprised the impact was that strong. In small cluster areas like those two it makes sense. I don't think it would ever work in a major city though like SD, LA, or Chitown.

They'll just discredit it by calling it fake leftist news made by 2 people in a mobile home in the desert. That's what I usually see as the responses anyways.

Everything about the story is true except for which pool of money the funds are coming from. How the hell does that make the story "mostly false?"

I mean, if you're nitpicking (snopes is), literally nothing about the story is true.

you're not getting paid to not murder someone. you're getting paid to participate in a program, one of the conditions of which is to not commit crimes (includes more than just murder, for one thing, and requires more than just not murdering for another)
