This is why the offense of drug dealers trafficking cooking any level of it needs to be elevated across the board as a capital offense nation wide! Death penalty! This is how make an immediate dent in this epidemic!

Huge bust right here
OK Children historically have ingested poisonous substances. What about teens and young adults? Why are they taking any drugs at all? Fentanyl or any opioid? Seems the problem lies deeper than just the availability of drugs.The fact an individual thought he was taking meth but it was actually fentanyl doesn't cut it.
Thanks a lot liberals this falls on you. This issue began in 2020 when the Dems opened the border. You literally got two groups responsible for this epidemic. The Mexican cartels and the United States current administration. That’s it 🤷🏻♂️
I hate to say this, but we need to start "removing" the dealers from this equation by any means necessary….
Border out of control
Too many junkies leaving their drugs where kids can get to them is why the numbers are up. Curious. How do the stats for this compare to kids who shoot themselves with the parent's guns?
NBC you're starting to sound like Fox. 😂
I can’t be convinced the fact that Biden and company will not do anything about Mexico and china’s illegal drug operation that they are not in on it. Remember when the dea agent was kidnapped and murdered backl in the carter years and evidence shows carter was aware of it also informants said the corruption went all the way at to get he too?
😢
TIME TO CLEAN UNITED STATES UP IS NOW!
This starts with the Border and FDA!
POTUS THE WAR IS IN AMERICA 🇺🇸
Instead of funding Ukraine to fight Russia how about funding America to fight against China poisoning Americans?
No condolences no more . We should cry for justice justice justice!!!!! They are fk killing are children! Justice ..the leaders of this country where are you !!!!!! We want justice!!!
My condolences to the family. This is happening because we're enabling drug addicts to use in our streets. The city needs to use the budget to attack addiction and homelessness. I want to help people with addiction, however, we need to have balance. For example, we need treatment centers with longer rehabilitation time . We need to put people that are rehabbing to work. Now if people don't want to sober up and work and continue using illegal drugs we need to create facilities for people like this you can't have them roaming the streets , our families we will pay the price.
China is killing our children . and nothing is being done about it
well you can only get a prescription of Narcan not over the counter. They really want yall to die of overdose
Our country has REAL problems like this rn, I'm tired of seeing police doing petty crap when they need to be cracking down on the real criminals bringing poison in this country.
If people want drugs they will get them. It's poisoning innocent people, but I fear no law will change this. It's tragic.
Heartbreaking!
Fentanyl has killed more Americans than gun violence and car wrecks combined. All done on purpose by the Cartels. BIDENS CRIME FAMILY IS RESPONSIBLE AS WELL FOR NO BORDER SECURITY
Condolences To The Family and Family Member's
oh,how strange, almost like taking prescription opiates away from those that needed them,led to something far worse for everyone.
what a joke war on drugs is.
The open border is worth it though, right Liberals?
OMG so scary..can't even believe this is happening so bad..you have to worry about every where you go..
Good. Play dumb games win fantastic rewards.
