SAD
Fentanyl didn’t just show up here — it filled every gap that housing, treatment, and mental‑health care left wide open.
Hallo Naraliiee das macht schon Traurig das zu Sehen das zu vielen Menschen Auf der Straße leben was ich gut finde Das Menschen Gibt wo Essen und Trinken verteilen finde ich Eine Gute Geste ich wünsche euch das ihr mehr Hilfe und das Medizinische ich wünsche euch alles gute und ich hoffe für euch das alles wieder gut wird grüße Erich aus Deutschland😊🙏
I believe at the root problem of the USA is that citizens especially destitute and downtrodden ones, don't really know about and never have heard of Jesus Christ and him being crucified for our sins, there are many mega churches in the US full of charlatan prosperity gospel preachers purposefully stealing money from their congregations, a real born again preacher would be searching out those homeless drug addicts and informing them of who Jesus is and most importantly then helping them get into some form of drug rehabilitation centres, and the state paying for them thereby acting as the story of the Good Samaritan. As it deeply upsets me every time I see this on your videos. Many thanks once again.
Fentanyl isn't the root cause; it is the chemical weapon of an engineered collapse. Once the system prices the working class out of housing and forces them onto the concrete, the drugs simply act as a cheap sedative while the bureaucracy cashes the checks. Oakland is bleeding out while the elites look away. Keep exposing this raw reality
California is an example of what happens after decriminalizing illegal drugs abuse without active drug rehab programs. The social contract in America is breaking down as people struggle with layoffs, debt, inflation, medical care, taxes housing and addiction. Our buy-in to a social contract promotes lawful and civil behavior. Worth considering are the struggling masses who are not economically prepared and being left behind. A book called Dealing with Burglary and Home Invasion Robbery may help in lowering your odds of becoming a victim of desperate people behaving badly.
Is the Oakland Homeless crisis getting worse because fentanyl is taking over while encampments spread across the streets — yes or no? Comment below and don’t forget to Like & Subscribe for more real stories. #OaklandHomeless #HomelessInAmerica
