January 26, 2018This is some scary stuff, folks.
It convinces me, more than ever, that we DO need that wall.
We need to keep this out of our already-opioid-ravaged country.
According to this:
Mexican police found a multi-drug shipment that included an astonishing 100 pounds (45.5 kilograms) of the synthetic opioid fentanyl in a vehicle near the city of Ensenada in Baja California, officials said Thursday.
I’ve been to Baja California many times… so yeah. This hits close to home.
Fentanyl can be fatal in doses of just a few milligrams. To put the size of the haul in perspective, a seizure last year of 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms) of fentanyl in Columbus, Ohio, was said by prosecutors to be enough to potentially kill the entire population of the city of 860,000 people.
4.5 pounds could wipe out the entire city of Columbus, Ohio…. This time they found 100 pounds.
That could kill MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS.
Police in Mexico said the drug shipment seized near Ensenada also included 914 pounds (415 kilograms) of crystal meth, 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of cocaine and 18.5 pounds (8.4 kilograms) of heroin.
Police arrested a man who was driving an SUV stuffed with the drugs near Ensenada. The drugs were so bulky they were stuffed into a pile of sacks that filled the rear of the vehicle.

The man was initially stopped because he lacked a front license plate.
Ensenada is located about an hour and a half south of the border with the US state of California.
Aaaahhh… sanctuary state California. Surely they think finding 100 pounds of Fentanyl was racist or something. They should let that guy go!
In November, Mexican authorities seized 31 pounds (14 kilograms) of fentanyl hidden in a car on a highway between the Gulf of California and San Luis Rio Colorado, which is home to a border crossing with Arizona.
It is EVERYWHERE… and it is DEADLY. We MUST put a stop to this!
Don’t know anyone who’s died from Fentanyl overdose? Well… Petty did.
An accidental overdose of fentanyl was determined to have killed music legend Prince in April 2016. And a coroner’s finding showed that among the medications found in the system of the late rock star Tom Petty were fentanyl and oxycodone.
So there. Now you know someone.
