Lovers of Violence
You can know things aren’t going well in a city when you offer money to encourage people not to shoot each other.
*******************
San Francisco is launching a program in October that will offer cash to people in exchange for not shooting anyone amid rising gun crime, an effort critics have called “cash for criminals.”
Sheryl Davis, executive director of the Human Rights Commission, told Newsweek this week that the “small investments” have the power to “transform the lives of individuals, but they can also transform communities.”
Through a partnership between the Human Rights Commission and Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Dream Keeper Fellowship will provide $300 each month to 10 people who are considered at high risk of being involved in a shooting.
