LA Mayor Bass Defends Homeless Meth Use As Self-Protection
Bass told reporters people use meth to stay awake at night, fearing assault while asleep, prompting mockery from former rival Spencer Pratt.
- Bass, July 16: "use meth so you don't go to sleep to protect yourself."
- She added people use meth "to stay awake at night" fearing assault while asleep.
- Spencer Pratt, runner-up in June's mayoral primary, tweeted: addiction causes homelessness, not the reverse.
Why it matters: A mayor who calls addiction self-protection has stopped managing the street and started narrating it.
