An amendment that would have held drug dealers accountable for fentanyl deaths was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday.
Assembly Bill 2195, authored by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), would amend the penal code to creative an alternative plea for those charged with drug offenses to a charge of public nuisance. Specifically, AB 2195, also known as the Alternative Plea Act, would deal with charges that allege unlawfully cultivating, manufacturing, transporting, giving away, selling, or possession or use of a drug, or possession or use of drug paraphernalia.

So we must protect drug dealer immigrants from being separated from their families. How about the person who takes a fatal dose of immigrant provided fentanyl and is separated from their family?
How about holding CHINA accountable for all the fentanyl those pukes have been sending to the USA?
But gun manufacturers should be held responsible for school shootings?
It wasn’t rejected by “the Senate”. It was rejected by Democrats in the Senate.
L
You can be charged with homicide for reckless or drunken driving that leads to a death. But make a career out of selling fentanyl...no problem.
artichokes are most favorite butter delivery system
[[and to avoid separating families as a result.]]
Hmm, the victim’s families were seperated,from their loved ones for ever on this earth. The scum on the left are declaring that drug dealer families more important and protected than the victim’s families!
Exactly, good point.
IF A GUN DEALER CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR DEATHS BY GUNS THAT THEY SOLD, THEN DRUG DEALERS CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATHS BY DRUGS THAT THEY SOLD...............
The Dem Senators don’t want to shut off the money supply.
Rejected by Senate Democrats
Guess who owns whom $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This is (yet another!) something that should be handled by the STATES in the first place.
Wisconsin has the ‘Len Bias Law’ which allows prosecutors to charge drug dealers and ‘friends’ that share drugs, in drug-related deaths.
Other States just need to C&P our legislation! Get Busy!
“What Is the History of the Len Bias Law?
Leonard (or Len) Bias was a college basketball player for the University of Maryland. He was the second overall pick for the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA draft. Two days after the draft, Bias died from complications of a cocaine overdose. The cocaine was remarkably pure, making it very strong. That suggested to prosecutors that the cocaine came from a high-level drug dealer.
After Bias’s death, the U.S. House of Representatives authored anti-drug legislation – The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The legislation demanded a life sentence for people who distributed drugs that resulted in an overdose death. This particular provision of the law came to be called the ‘Len Bias Law.’”

Of course.
The party of death wants to protect anyone who does their killing for them.
Maybe the gun manufacturers should just start selling fentanyl instead? More profit and not sue-able.
Goes to show what a bunch of real losers that many Democrats are. We need more men like Tom Homan. Democrats in our Congress rejecting some of this legislation need to go to jail with the other guilty parties & maybe some of this would stop. When drugs lead to death, there is more than one guilty party. By now it is obvious that the Democrat party is one of those guilty parties & they need to be held responsible for their part in it. AOC is attractive, but not convincing.
If the guy thought he was taking a Percocet or an Oxycodone, or that he was eating Skittles candy, THEN IT WAS NOT A DRUG OVERDOSE! It is then a case of INTENTIONAL POISONING! 300+ are poisoned every day, while Benedict Biden cruelly replaces the dead Americans with ILLEGAL ALIENS!!
