Lancaster mayor's remedy for homelessness: 'Free fentanyl' and 'a purge'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The mayor of Lancaster, Rex Parris, has ignited a controversy after musing during a council meeting that one approach to homelessness would be to "give them free fentanyl … all the fentanyl they want."

Parris, a larger-than-life trial lawyer, made the incendiary comments about the drug — responsible for tens of thousands of overdose deaths — during a February City Council meeting, in a retort to a resident who objected to his musings of congregating unhoused residents into an "encampment."

It wasn't until Parris doubled down on his remarks during an interview with Fox LA that his statements went viral, provoking ire far beyond the high desert city, where he has been mayor since 2008.

He said that he didn't think anyone had taken his comments literally, but that he did not regret them. In the interview, he said he wished for "a purge" of homeless people.

How about we do that for Republicans instead? The causes are varied and often complicated, but the fact is most homeless are not junkies.

2. I guarantee he considers himself "christian" and "pro-life"

3. Believe it or not, in 2020 he had a giant black lives matter billboard for his law firm

...several on the freeway.

Just his way to pander for positive appeal like the shill he is.

He sent all of his constituents a cringe worthy family photo once. Didn't even make clear it was a political ad. Just got a random postcard in the mail by some weirdo I never met. We were just like "wtf is this"

Unfortunately it's a classic case of a guy whose been there so long he's almost impossible to remove without enormous effort.
