(PCC)Unthinkable! Why does our country have such a Fentanyl problem, particularly among the homeless? Could it be cheaper to enable uncounted deaths than to address the issue of homelessness? Is the government willing to let dangerous narcotics on our streets rather than invest money to aid the needy? Has delicate human life devolved into nothing more than an expense for the government? Is extermination cheaper than caring, or is it simply mercy in action?
You decide after reading this: Lancaster California Mayor faces backlash after calling for a “Fentanyl Purge” of the homeless morbid solution to purge the homelessness is in a trial basis, some call it cruel others say it’s mercy.
In a series of disturbing remarks that have sparked nationwide outrage, Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris is under fire for suggesting that the city’s homelessness crisis could be solved by distributing unlimited amounts of fentanyl to unhoused individuals, a comment many are calling an endorsement of state-sanctioned euthanasia.
The comments, originally made during a February 25 city council meeting, resurfaced Friday after Parris doubled down in a televised interview, stating, “We do need to purge these people.” His rhetoric has been widely condemned as dehumanizing, dangerous, and reminiscent of Hitlerian ideologies.
“A Final Solution” to the homeless crisis is extermination? The mayor’s proposal came in response to criticisms about the city’s plan to relocate homeless individuals to a camp on an abandoned golf course. Rather than defend the city’s controversial approach, Parris interrupted a resident’s concern to offer a more extreme vision: giving unhoused people unlimited access to fentanyl, a drug responsible for tens of thousands of deaths annually.
What is the position of Mayor Parris? Is it nothing more than planned genocide? Furthermore, he lumps all homeless people together as drug users, which is a false notion. Some are victims of economic changes, having lost their jobs, resulting in losing their homes, and now find themselves on the streets. Others are runaway children who made poor decisions in the heat of their youth. Others find themselves homeless due to the closure of the town factory, and their only option is to endure hardship until help arrives.
“I want to give them all the fentanyl they want,” Parris stated. He later clarified that his aim was to “purge the criminal homeless population,” blaming unhoused individuals for a wide array of social issues, including robbery, rape, and murder, without presenting concrete data.
The implication was clear: fentanyl distribution as a means of extermination. Civil rights advocates say it echoes some of the darkest chapters in human history.
Advocates and experts are expressing strong condemnation! Human rights organizations, addiction experts, and homelessness advocates have denounced the mayor’s comments as not only unethical but deeply dangerous.
“This kind of rhetoric has no place in a civilized society,” said Maria Gutiérrez, policy director at the California Center for Housing Justice. “To suggest state-facilitated death for people experiencing homelessness is not just a policy failure; it’s a moral collapse.”
Medical experts agree. Dr. Alison Chen, an addiction medicine specialist in Los Angeles, warned that such a suggestion normalizes the idea that certain lives are disposable. “We don’t solve addiction or poverty with poison. We solve it with housing, support, and dignity.”
A symptom of a bigger crisis has become evident. Though Parris’s words are uniquely inflammatory, they reflect growing tensions in many U.S. cities grappling with rising homelessness, public pressure, and overstretched social services. What sets this situation apart is the explicit endorsement of death as a policy tool.
Some critics argue that Parris’s words represent a broader failure of leadership, where instead of investing in housing-first models, mental health care, and harm reduction strategies, officials scapegoat the vulnerable.
As of now, there is no formal investigation into Parris’s remarks, but advocacy groups are demanding accountability. Public outrage continues to mount, with calls for resignation, censure, and federal review of Lancaster’s homelessness policies.
While Parris has been mayor since 2008 and remains a popular figure in some local circles, his recent statements may mark a turning point in his political career and in the public’s tolerance for cruelty disguised as pragmatism.
Has the culture of death also been ingrained in the leadership of the local government? Many people are calling for the assassination of prominent political persons, in addition to the endorsement and even the glorifying of the act of killing the unborn. Now, the homeless people who are unable to rescue themselves could become victims of the death culture. In which the act of murdering becomes an option rather than having the fortitude to devise a workable solution that assists humanity rather than taking the lives of those who are defenseless.
Is history repeating itself? The German government no longer wanted Jews, so they were exterminated. The California government no longer wants the homeless so they will exterminate them.
Final Word: Barbarism is alive and growing in Lancaster California, until Mayor R. Rex Parris becomes homeless.
