San Francisco hit another record high when it comes to drug overdoses in the Democratic city, with almost 85 deaths last month — and residents say the alarming numbers are just more proof that the city has turned into a “zombie apocalypse.”

The City by the Bay saw 84 deaths in August, with 66 of them involving the deadly drug fentanyl.

It tied January for the deadliest month since the city began tracking overdose deaths in the beginning of 2020.

This year is on pace to exceed 2020’s deaths, which hit a record high of 725, according to reports by San Francisco officials. More than 560 users have died this year and another 300 are expected to die by the end of the year. “It’s crazy, so sad out here, it’s like a zombie apocalypse,” Georgia Taylor, 21, who is homeless and abuses fentanyl, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “You can’t help people who don’t want help.”

Sometimes, problems have a way of correcting themselves.

So, you are a big fan of Xi Jinping?

[CatOwner]

Not at all. But if idiots want to play Russian Roulette, have at it.

[No name given]

Indeed.

[JonPreston]

Xi Jinping

Does China have cities like San Francisco?

[eyeamok]

Aren’t all Humans born with a God given right to die in the street from their own laziness or stupidity?? I say bring more fentanyl, distribute it amongst the homeless camps, give them their last hoorah. My only moral obligation to society is to help load the dead bodies on to the trucks so they don’t stink up the neighborhood.

[rktman]

Almost as many as AR-15 deaths eh?

Wear a mask and get your covid boosters. You’ll still be voting in 50 years.

[ridesthemiles]

NOT moving the needle on my SYMPATHY meter.

[nickcarraway]

I am not talking about sympathy, I am talking about patriotism. Not giving aid and comfort to the U.S.’ enemies. Is this hw you felt about 9/11?

[DaBroasta]

At this rate they’ll need to modifiy the Pelosi poop map to allow people to pin body locations with their cell phones.

[exnavy]

People play stupid games, win stupid prises.

[Justa]

People who were raised to value their wants before their needs. Path of destruction. No sympathy for the corrupt and wicked.

[MarMema]

Works for me.

[MarMema]

What **are** you talking about, actually?

[Jimmy Valentine]

“Thinning the herd”.

Sometimes, problems have a way of correcting themselves.

Not as much for parents, grandparents, siblings, friends and others who wished and prayed that their loved one would get help. Their problem turned into a gaping hole of grief that will never fully heal.

Be careful; don’t pick up an anti-zombie charge that would go in your permanent record.

Makes me sick to read this.
