But Parris has re -confirmed his position to give homeless people illegal drugs That kills thousands of Californians a year. He told Fox 11 on Friday that he does not regret his comments and that he referred to homeless criminals who “refuse” to seek help.

“I made it very clear that I was talking about the criminal element that was left out of prisons that have now become 40 to 45% of what the homeless population is called,” Parris said.

“They are responsible for most of our robberies, most of our rapes, and at least half of our murders,” he continued. “There is nothing we can do for these people.”

The mayor has not provided any data to support his claims about the number of crimes that homeless people are responsible.

Parris said that he did not expect that his comments would be taken ‘literally’, telling the outlet that Fentanyl is ‘so easy’ to obtain on the street that it would not make a difference if the city offered the opioid to the homeless for free.
