Latest California Lunacy – Bribe Criminals Not To Kill!
Whilst I try to provide a balanced geographical diet, news and comment from all over the world, PJ Media in the USA so often comes up with delectable stories that I am regularly drawn to their site as a source of pinko-nutjob material.

A California city is seriously considering a program to pay residents “deemed most likely to shoot somebody,” on the premise that paying them will make crime less likely.

Michael Tubbs, mayor of the Bay Area city of Stockton, defended the idea of giving money specifically to the people most likely to shoot others. He would give a stipend of $1,000 per month to those who “stay the course” after an 18-month program….
What need of comment?
Aaah, hell, let’s comment.
Despite the wishes of most Californians -in 2016, Golden State voters narrowly approved a ballot initiative to speed up the death penalty, Proposition 66..Most California governor candidates oppose the death penalty — but …

– the ‘we-know-best’ left-liberal elite in the Media-Democrat party has been obstructing the imposition of capital punishment there for years.
And that elite is getting more, not less, dismissive of the democratic will!

California’s Dianne Feinstein Drops Support for Death Penalty
If every street crim who takes a life were put to death, THAT might make a difference to the number of homicides.
BUT…with gubernatorial elections due this year, voters do have a clear choice..
Five of the six top candidates oppose the death penalty….
The only candidate who personally supports the death penalty is Assemblyman Travis Allen, an Orange County Republican who vowed in an interview to “clean out this death row in California.”

“Why should California allow these people the luxury of life when they have taken it so cruelly from so many others?” he asked. “Every single day that these people are alive is another insult to the families of their victims.”
Most California governor candidates oppose the death penalty — but …
I decided to comment after all because Donald Trump has endorsed another Republican, named Cox, who, disturbingly, does not support the death penalty. His excuse for this dereliction is his allegiance to the Argie Dope – he seems to think being a Catholic precludes backing for natural justice.
One can only suggest he reads more history and gets his act together before the imminent polling day.
We expect better from The Donald.

Hoho ho. Is that mayor for real?
I know there are scatter-brains in every town but who votes for them?

I was born in The Golden State when we had Ronald Reagan as governor. It was a pretty normal place then, outside of San Francisco where those smelly hippies had their squats.
California has turned into one great big funny farm over the past twenty or thirty years but it is way beyond funny when they make plans to give money to gangsta men if they promise to play nice.
I am so glad our family left in the Eighties.
Alaska is colder and has not fully escaped the leftard infection but I have not heard so far of any mayors planning to bribe the bears not to maul or eat people.

Me too, Andy, not born in California but spent time there when it was a great golden hope for America, with Reagan and the other stalwartconservatives.
My uncle was a delegate at the Republican Convention that nominated Barry Goldwater and I like todaydream now and then on how different our USA might be today if he had defeated Johnson.
Victory in Vietnam, for one thing, and…whoknows, a better America than the mess that Trump is doing what he can to fix.

Seriously?
If I wasn’t a regular reader and able to tell when you are joking and when you aren’t, I would not, never ever, believe anybody could be as big a dipstick as Mayor Michael.
We used to think Red Ken in London was as bad as the loony left could be.
No longer,mate.

Do mayoral candidates in California have to pass mental health examinations before taking office?
If not, it could be a constitutional reform well worth considering.
