Pay People Not to Murder?!

This seemed strange to me. Here is the article:

"In 2007, Richmond was one of the most deadly places in the US, with a murder rate of 45.9 per 100,000 residents, putting it just below murder capitals like Flint, Michigan and New Orleans, Louisiana. Other California cities of the same size had a murder rate of 4.7 per 100,000 residents. "

10 times higher!

Now they are paying - by creating relationships and then cash - for those most likely to be involved in murders to not be.

Make the punishment for crimes an eye for an eye.
If you steal then the victim gets something of worth from you.
If you mug or attack people you get your Azz beat, bad!!!
If you kill someone you will be killed!!!!

Problems solved, no 20+ years on death row!!!!! BANG!!!
