A Baltimore convict and community activist has come up with what he says is solution to the city's soaring murder rate—paying killers not to shoot people. Tyree Moorehead spent 18 years in prison for second degree murder which he committed when he was 15. He was released from prison in 2012 and has since devoted his time to trying to work with criminals in Baltimore to reduce crime rates. He told FOX 45 this week that he believes the way to lower the city's soaring shooting numbers is to pay criminals not to kill people. 'I can relate to the shooters,

Here's a better idea, why not put snipers on the roofs and shoot the activists and people rioting?

And if an 'employee' goes ahead and kills someone anyway...does the city get it's money back? Oh, this is too stupid to even contemplate! Paying people NOT to kill!

What kind of resume does one submit to get paid not to kill people? Does it require sworn affidavits from the families of people you've killed for references? Maybe a photo of you with your victim; post-killing, of course?

# 1 Yes ! Paying people to be law abiding, what a concept. Once you start doing that, the miscreants own you.

This is like paying for an AntiVirus program for your computer. It's the AntiVirus company hacks that are writing and disseminating the virus to prove that you need to purchase their AntiVirus program.
This 'remedy' will encourage the shooters to shoot MORE, then coming to you to encourage you to pay them MORE to stop.
This is beyond Stupid.

Here's a thought for Tyree: Start a non-profit. Ask people to donate. Use the donations to pay people not to shoot other people. See how well your plan floats in the market place of ideas.
The government is not a piggy bank.

Brilliant, a freakin mental wizard. Only in cities like Baltimore, run by democrats, will someone come up with a brain thrust like this. How about just keeping criminals in freakin jail. How about that. How about letting them do their time instead of letting these thugs out of jail early to prey on the innocent. Simply amazing.

So, will you have to be a resident of Baltimore to get paid to not kill people?
What if I promise to never go to Baltimore and kill anyone?

How about paying bounties to bounty hunters who bring in killers' scalps instead?
Just a one-time payment to rid you of the vermin.

That sounds pretty good, #15. It worked pretty well for wolves 50 years ago, until the genius city dwelling folks decided that we really "needed" to have wolves back and imported the damned vermin back into the lower 48. Now a serious problem, and elk, moose and deer populations have plummeted in those states with wolves.

The ongoing failed war on poverty has used this excuse all along; if we don't give bLACK people welfare, then they'll resort to crime. In this case, it's almost exclusively African on African crime, a perfect chance for them to show the world how much they Matter by simply behaving as everyone else does in modern society.
