Dems Roll Program to Reward Criminals With Money

Who says crime doesn’t pay? The same way the government pays farmers not to grow certain crops, New York City criminals are being paid not to commit crimes. They don’t need police anymore, so they decided just to pass all the law enforcement money straight to the burglars, drug dealers, and armed robbers. That’s the best way to keep the public safe, their experts declare.

Cash for criminals

Reward money is so yesteryear. Today’s modern progressive way of thinking is to pay the money straight to the criminals, in return for a promise not to kill anyone or steal anything.

Liberals know you’re going to call that idea totally insane, but they’re ready for that and have experts all set to back up their nonsense. Faux News may be unfair and imbalanced but they managed to cover this one.

Faux reporters didn’t snicker as they wrote that the “New York City pilot program has come under fire by some.” It was the kind of fire coming from a burning precinct house in Minneapolis. Conservatives totally freaked out when they heard local reports describing “a plan to pay young criminal offenders $1,000 each month for their continued involvement in the program and good behavior.”

Get a driver’s license or GED and today’s criminals are on the dole for life as long as they keep their nose clean. Work? Ha! That’s for folks who aren’t dangerous enough to get paid straight.

The young gang-bangers are being taught that all you have to do is make a big enough name for yourself in the files at the prosecutors office to qualify for the program.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams threatened to implement the program back in March and nobody bothered to stop them. Subsidized criminals are the latest liberal fad. The catchy name they came up with for the program is “the Advance Peace model.”

Tested in five precincts

New York City has five “boroughs” and the Advance Peace Model is being tested at one precinct in each of them. “Under the pilot, the City will conduct outreach in areas with high levels of gun violence to identify youth who are at-risk for gun violence,”

The mayor’s official press release states. Selected criminals “are then invited to join the Peacemaker fellowship, which pairs mentees with individual Neighborhood Change Agents who mentor them and set tangible goals like a driver’s license or a GED.”

If the young thug can manage to keep his nose clean and meet the chosen “goal,” he’s on the gravy train for life. “When participants achieve their goals,” the criminals “receive a monetary stipend.” That “stipend” is a cool “$1,000 per month.” They get raises from time to time as well.

“Participants will be paid more money for achieving previously established goals.” Mayor de Blasio yanked $1 million away from the police budget and allotted it to the pilot program to get the ball rolling. He promises that his scheme “will guarantee a safer and fairer New York for generations to come.”

New Yorkers who don’t vote Democrat came unglued. Seth Barron wrote up what was on everyone’s mind. “De Blasio’s plan to give a grand a month to violent offenders is insane.” He notes that to Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, “investing in the Advance Peace model ‘isn’t only a moral obligation, it’s a governing imperative.'”

Democrats were ready for that. De Blasio press secretary Bill Neidhardt responded that conservative “cranks love to shower their billionaire donors with tax cuts, but as soon as governments invest in at-risk youth, they start flailing and shouting. Truly pathetic stuff.” He claims “Advance Peace statistics show gun-related assaults fell 66% between 2010 and 2017” in a similar cash to criminals program. “Thankfully we listen to data and science to save lives, not conservative columnists.”
