California Purge

A California mayor has a rather unique suggestion for the homeless:

Certainly, the idea of handing out fentanyl to wipe out a population is more than alarming, even if it is made in jest or as a sarcastic policy underscore. After all, Christ did command us to minister to the "least of these." If we are serious in our contention that life is precious, such a conviction applies to the homeless and addicted as well as the unborn. But what does one do when "the least of these" is not interested in improving their lot? The mentally ill are a different story, but what about someone who has chosen the transient lifestyle, perhaps one that involves fentanyl or heroin? People have a right to be transient if they so choose. But other people have the right to be safe on the streets and in parks. They should be able to step out into the open air without worrying about being accosted, assaulted with a pair of scissors, or having to navigate garbage and human waste. And Parris did go to lengths to say he was talking about the criminal element that refuses help.

No help wanted, no help given...
