The Sacramento City Council has voted to be extorted to the tune of $1.5 million by 50 gang members.
The council voted 9-0 to allow city funds to ultimately pay protection money to violent gang members in a program titled Advance Peace.
California has officially lost its collectivized mind.
The program would create mentorship, education, and job training opportunities, even offering financial rewards up to $1,000 per month for successfully meeting program goals.
But Councilwoman Angelique Ashby raised issues with the contract.
We have no opportunity to pull out of this contract.
None whatsoever.
It's front-loaded with the cash on their end.
At one point, Ashby sparred with Mayor Daryl Steinberg.
That's not the way that I read this.
Mayor, that's exactly what it says.
Her points were very valid.
I hope that we hold Advance Peace accountable for what they've promised.
After deciding the contract needs to first be reviewed and fine-tuned, city leaders voted in favor of Advance Peace.
It's called appeasement.
The left's way of dealing with threats by ultimately allowing the gangs to become an arm of corruption, whether that was the intention or not.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
We're from the North Ward Merchants Protective Co-op.
I don't have any discretionary funds.
It's got to go through corporate.
How do you think corporate would feel if, for the sake of argument...
Someone threw a brick through your window.
The Clintons brokered an appeasement deal with North Korea.
And look how that turned out.
That government in North Korea still thinks it can take over the rest of the Korean Peninsula.
And it would be the one government governing the whole of the Korean people.
So if they get this capability, the first thing they're going to do with it is use it for extortion.
Saying, for example, to the United States, you remove all of your troops from South Korea.
And or Japan, or Guam, or Okinawa.
Or we will take out Los Angeles, San Francisco, fill in the blank.
Or the Jizya tax for non-Muslims.
The specific threats against Bajale come from two men, one a low-level official in the Palestinian Authority.
He says they're trying to extort both land and money.
When he complained to other PA officials, they offered help only if he would pay them protection money.
The two men also threatened Bajalia, who was legally blind, that they would cripple him for life.
Or just ask the Sicilians.
After hundreds of years, they are finally refusing to pay the Mafia its institutionalized protection money.
The idea came in about 2004, when a few of us wanted to open a bar and we thought to ourselves, what do we do if they come and ask for protection money?
Change is difficult because the Mafia has been in this city for 150 years.
Common sense would dictate that no amount of money or college funding is going to rehabilitate the violent minds of these gang members.
That actually requires leadership and tough talk on a cultural level, something the left despises.
Oh, nice marmot.
