It is getting more and more obvious that this is out of control. Dealers are getting a slap on the wrist and sent back on the streets to do it again, sometimes the same day. The police arrest them, the courts set them free. How many more people have to die before some real action is taken. Maybe when it happens to the politicians children??? My son died from fentanyl poisoning. Nothing was done, even though they know who it was. He is free to kill other people. This makes me very angry. Politicians need to earn their huge salaries that we, the people pay for, and get off their ass and figure this out.
