Former president Bill Clinton blames guns for the recent violence and unrest seen in “the Baltimore thing.”
Clinton appeared on State of the Union Sunday where he spoke with host Jake Tapper about what he sees as the problem and the resolution to the Baltimore riots and other similar cases, such as Ferguson last summer.
Clinton referred to it as a “big national movement about whether the lives of young African-American men count.”
He continued:
To hold a community together, you’ve got to have a high level of community trust. Somebody that’s in your family gets shot, you want an answer from someone you know, and you want to be able to ask questions and get them answered and resolve them. So I think that in addition to economics, we need to look at the places in America where these things happen and they don’t drive people into the streets because they actually trust the process. ”
