How many died because of her?
Here in the Philippines we don't have the death penalty, and the courts are corrupt so those running the drug gangs would delay the trial until all the witnesses were dead. So far meth is the biggest drug here not fentanyl. The cartels smuggle it in here then pay mules who need money to smuggle it all over Asia.
Duterte let the cops kill them in raids, most addicts turned themselves in, but mid level dealers often got shot.
By the way, most fentanyl and precursor chemicals come from China, especially from Wuhan. The guy behind the epidemic is known but China hasn't arrested him yet as far as I know.
A lot of Asian countries give drug smugglers the death penalty.

Early in his presidency, President Trump addressed an enthusiastic packed crowd in an outdoor stadium. He mentioned that drug dealers take countless lives, and that some countries give such people the death penalty. You could have heard a pin drop. years of indoctrination have tamed the public to the point that they can listen to 10’s of thousands of lives lost and still “dont want to be too harsh.”
The president talked about the opioid epidemic, noting it was war. The way he phrased his words, I took it to mean foreign powers are flooding our land with fentanyl and hard drugs because they can kill without firing a shot or declaring war. The epidemic at that time was astounding - something like 1/3 increase in overdose deaths. At that time, I was reading that some cities enountered simultaneous overdoses spread throughout the territory. Everyone taking the lastest buy within a short amount of time and dropping in OD.
I keep seeing drug busts wherein other drugs like cocaine are “laced with fentanyl”. I think this is intentional - sell cocaine laced with fentanyl to coke addicts but don’t tell them what it contains. Fentanyl is “too easy” to overdose on and if they think it’s “just coke” then, well, OD deaths skyrocket.
