I realize that it’s not a joke, street fentanyl is deadly, and drug addiction is a tragic issue for america. I do think it’s kind of funny that it’s gone from, “cops seized marijuana with an estimated street value of 200 trillion dollars” to “cops find enough fentanyl to kill everyone in america”.

I wonder how many people you could kill with 118LBS of Pfizer’s corona vax?

Seems like they frequently confiscate enough fentanyl to kill extremely large numbers of people. Hard to believe that similar amounts don’t go unconfiscated.

Seems like there ought to be a lot more dead folks than are reported.

The Big Guy’s very good friends in Beijing made that possible.

Pardon me for being skeptical of these claims. We’ve been bombarded for years over the lethality of fentanyl, but the annual death rate is closer to 100,000 +/-. Something just doesn’t add up.

If the claims that we are only stopping a fraction of the trafficking, then why is the death rate not in the several millions? Or has law enforcement interdiction effort been 99% effective? Are the 100,000 or so people who die annually responsible for consuming the bulk of the drugs getting through? If the claims are true, one would think that the terrorists would be plotting, or have already pulled off, a mass murder event.

Just questions from an inquiring mind.

The men ...issued a $3.5 million secured bond ...Lorenzo Juan Arreola, 44 Years Old, from Sunland Park, New Mexico, and Lucio Eduardo Chavira Avila, 33 Years Old, from Parral Chihuahua, Mexico... 118lbs of suspected fentanyl ...Money in excess of $100,000 ...(street value) $3,752,000.

IN NC the cash required to get out of jail is 10% of the secured bond ($350,000 each).

That's chump change to the cartels. They'll be back in Mexico for lunch tomorrow ready to run another load of "tile" to the streets of America.

I wonder if FJB and his ilk know that they are the purveyors of what is killing their voters?

With each fentanyl related death, the Demoncrats lose ten or fifteen potential votes. It’s kind of like the supporters of abortion, they’re committing genocide against the very population that they need to support them in retirement . . .

It's easy enough to confirm. Any ER physician or state medical examiner can tell you what dose of fentanyl is likely to be...or sure to be...lethal. As a matter of fact any anesthesiologist can also tell you...they use it all the time in operating rooms.

EXACTLY!!!

First offense...no plea bargains...just like they do it in Singapore.

True story: on my first visit to Singapore (years ago) I noticed on the landing card the words,printed in bold face, "Death Penalty To Drug Traffickers Under Singapore Law". I nearly soiled my underwear when I saw it. Then,waiting in the Immigration/Customs line,there was a big sign in several languages (including English) saying the same thing. Next to the sign was a big trash can labeled "Amnesty Bin". I was so spooked that I almost threw my blood pressure meds in it...just in case.

Today it's mostly Aussies who get executed there...Singapore is a very popular vacation spot for Aussies.

Exactly. Based on the numbers they regularly claim, bodies would be stacking up like cord wood.

Ooooh, now they’re looking into these guys’ legal status.

How many other 18 wheelers are driving this stuff to all parts of the US?

Wait until carfentynal makes an appearance.

Carfentynal is like 1000X stronger than fentynal

Federal investigators are currently looking into the legal status of being in the U.S.

Like they care.
