We live in a world where up is down, freedom is slavery and if the city council of Washington, D.C. has its way, crime does pay, and handsomely at that.
Meeting last Tuesday, the D.C. Council voted to pass legislation authorizing a program to pay residents to – get this – not commit crime. And not only did the council vote to pass the bill, it voted to pass it unanimously, meaning not one single member found anything objectionable about the measure.
Citing a similar program in the city of Richmond, California, the plan is for the city government to handpick 200 people believed to be vulnerable to violent crime or, unbelievably, vulnerable to committing violent crime to take part in programs meant to improve their behavior. In return for completing said programs, the city will “reward” them with money.
How much D.C. taxpayers are going to have to fund this nonsense remains unclear, as the bill made no mention of exactly how much money will be given to participants. If the $9000 rewarded a year to participants in the California program is any indication, then the citizens of D.C. will be footing a hefty bill.

Has it got to the point we have to pay the politicos and their crony bureaucrats not to steal anymore from us ?
Is this what you call the logic of Washington DC? Crimes SHOULD NOT have been committed in the first place, it is NOT a right, NOT a privilege, NOT an entitlement.
it’s quite obvious that Washington DC is run by and is home to pure idiots.
This is the craziest thing that I have ever heard of in my life.What happens when you pay them and they commit crimes anyway? Do you pay them MORE MONEY to stop.
That’s totally crazy
ah shucks doesnt congress make enough already ?

On the good side perhaps criminals from Virginia and Maryland will see an opportunity here and immigrate to DC.
