‘I think people feel there is injustice’
Solomon Jones: "I think part of what is happening in Philadelphia is that you have a drug problem that’s out of control. You have people who are in an area called Kensington, it's like this open-air drug market like you’ve never seen in your life, who are going around the city and doing all kinds of things in order to support their drug habits. You can’t blame Larry Krasner for that. He’s not putting the needle in their arm. He’s not putting the drugs in their veins. He is not causing them to do that. They’re doing that. So I think part of what needs to happen is that we need to stop trying to blame one person and we need to really attack the problems that are leading to some of this crime that is happening in Philadelphia and beyond. I think people feel that there is injustice. People feel that there’s one set of laws for some people and one set of laws for others. So when people feel that way, they will not obey the law because they don’t think that it is just. I think you have to address that first, rather than try to say that it's all on one person when it’s not."
