Facing a recall, Parris (R-Calif.) suggested solving the city’s homelessness crisis by giving individuals “all the fentanyl they want.”
However, the mayor clarified his statement, saying his remarks were a metaphor to describe the frustration he has with the homelessness population in California.
“What I want to do is give them free fentanyl,” he said. “That’s what I want to do.”
He went on to say he’s specifically alluding to the people that accost the consumers at store parking lots, intimidating them into giving up their money, or the ones that camp outside of individuals home to later burglarize them.
“I am tired of drug addicts robbing our citizens, because that’s what it’s called when they walk up to some woman going to the store, pound on their window and demand money,” the mayor said. “They’re scaring them into giving them money, and that is the definition of robbery.”
He concluded by saying he’s shocked people took him literally and he doesn’t regret his comments.
