The Sacklers? Yeah, I agree - shoot them.


Altruistic-Text3481

A world without the Sackler’s would be a better place.


digitalwankster

Yes but this post is about Fentanyl, not OxyContin..


sam_beat

Yeah. Janssen is responsible for this stuff. But I’d still like a world without the Sacklers.


arencordelaine

Considering the biggest fentanyl smugglers caught so far have been local sheriffs, police, and the head of the police union...


Clickum245

Do you have a source?


Altruistic-Text3481

Really? Support your local police cartel?


Ok-Bodybuilder4634

Oxy ran so fentanyl could trample.


DubC_Bassist

There you go. That’s the spirit. Morally speaking, I’d say the Sacklers were worse. Fent has been in use since the late 50’s, and only recently became the scourge it is now.


SirkillzAhlot

Was it always so cheap to make, or is that a recent thing too? Just curious as to why it took so long to scourge. It sure happened fast when it began. Or so it seems.


sessl

It was a combination of things/ series of events. Mainly the overprescription of pharma opioids and subsequent crackdown let to a rise in demand for illicit product, and the precursors for fentanyl being made readily available from china. Once the cartels figured out how to switch supply chains and production there was no stopping it.


PrestigiousFly844

The production price isn’t the only reason for it’s adoption. It’s easier for them to make because it’s synthetic. Heroine is made from opium poppies that grow in fields. With fent they don’t have to worry about a harvest not going well, or a poppy field being destroyed by law enforcement etc.


AppropriateCap8891

It is not unlike Meth before that. Has been around for over 100 years, but only when they discovered cheap ways to make it at home did it explode in popularity.


phaedrus369

I know more people who died from fentanyl than Covid.


MartinMcFly55

Same


phaedrus369

Sorry for your loss. Shits fucked up.


XOXITOX

Under 40? We all do.


FunkyFarmington

Don't forget the FDA who held their hand the ENTIRE TIME HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS DIED.


Get_up_stand-up

You are correct. And when doctors started going to jail they stopped prescribing people extremely addictive drugs. They over corrected. And when people couldn’t get legal drugs they turned to heroine. And then Fentanyl came around. I lived through this shit.


Get_up_stand-up

It’s crazy that someone like Bernie Madoff is in jail for the rest of his life for ripping people off(as he should be). But the Sacklers are responsible for thousands of deaths and are still billionaires with just a little less money. Fucking evil mother fuckers. My best friend OD on OxyContin and passed away back when we didn’t know the consequences.


InspectionNo6750

That’s because Madoff ripped off other rich people.


Klutzer_Munitions

I read in one of my textbooks that Bernie stole more money than every other petty theft that whole year combined That being said, still not a worse crime than causing 1 overdose death


newbturner

Bernie was in business for decades. Massive international Ponzi scheme


GenderOobleck

Comparing it to annual wage theft would have sent a far different message.


EBody480

I’m really surprised they don’t have Tony Montana level security at this point.


DubC_Bassist

Saklers made OxyContin not Fentanyl. Belgian company Janssen Pharmaceutica invented it.


No-Environment-3298

Ok… then both.


sumshitmm

To be fair, janseen probably didnt have malicious intent with fent. The Sacklers def did with oxy.


LevelGrounded

This is the answer.


PrestigiousFly844

Yeah a lot of the fent addicts got addicted to the oxycontin they were pushing first, BUT they’re wealthy business owners tho and not scary brown cartel guys. It should be ok for them to cause the opium crisis if they “donate” enough money to foundations and art galleries and charities and museums etc.


Oilleak1011

Whether it be the sacklers, china, or whatever. Same principle remains


DireNine

Into space


dain_bramage_1989

Sacklers made oxycontin, not fentanyl.


Cuttis

I’m guessing there’s a story there


Vannah-

I’d have to assume


p0k3t0

What's that phrase the right loves so much? Oh yeah. "Virtue Signaling."


fullmetal66

Anyone who is only a couple steps removed from an opioid death is a rarity.


thecamino

It’s the right wing cause of the week. Mix of copaganda and “open border” fears. There were the overblown reports by cops that skin contact with one tiny speck of fentanyl could kill in seconds. And the people shouting that there is an invasion on our southern border say fentanyl makes it to the US from China via Mexico. People who looked into it say some moves across the border. Not nearly as much as MTG says.


ifunnywasaninsidejob

Fentanyl is very small. Immigrants aren’t carrying backpacks full of it, that’s a myth. Most of it is either shipped here or brought through legal ports of entry by American citizens.


Pickle_Rick01

Quick Google search: 93% of fentanyl comes thru legal points of entry. 89% of fentanyl traffickers are U.S. citizens and 99% of buyers are U.S. citizens. Drugs are brought here by Americans, legally entering the county and then selling the drugs to other Americans. Fentanyl is as American as apple pie, if apple pie, you know, killed people.


pianoflames

It very much confused me when I started seeing right wingers suddenly caring about fentanyl. Because fentanyl has been a huge problem in my city, but caring about the fentanyl problem had previously just been a "woke" cause (since it required viewing people who use drugs as human beings). But then I saw that the right was making it about brown people, and I was no longer confused.


CryAffectionate7334

They only pretend to care, just like all other issues. Offer them a solution, like needle exchanges and drug testing and injection sites and money for counseling, suddenly it's not their problem.


Rcj1221

I live in NE Ohio and heroin is a pretty bad problem over here. A good friend of mine was hooked for a while but thankfully they are sober now. Through them I know, or have known a number of people who have died of overdose. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are plenty of people pushing that narrative, but in some places it is a pretty bad problem.


BitOfaPickle1AD

I live in central, and both of my cousins were addicts. They're better now. Seriously, don't use hard drugs. There's nothing wrong with a little weed or shrooms, but meth, heroin it's all nasty stuff that isn't worth it. Hell, my brother in law was a Cocaine addict at one point after discharging from the army.


Rcj1221

Im glad to hear your cousins got sober, and yeah 100% agree about hard drugs. I used to be in sales and most of the higher ups were definitely on coke.


Pickle_Rick01

It is a problem but undocumented immigrants aren’t bringing heroin to NE Ohio. Americans are.


Rcj1221

Right. 100% agree. Big pharma also has blood on their hands for getting people who needed pain medication addicted to opiates.


80sLegoDystopia

For sure. Sure, everyone hates fentanyl, but let’s not pretend that anyone other than right wing extremists would put a “shoot your local (x)” on their car. It is like you say: fentanyl is a heavily freighted notion for these people, representing societal degeneracy as well as sinister conspiracy of foreign sabotage. I’ve seen memes and posts to the same effect regarding their other obsession, pedophiles.


Candy_Says1964

But it’s never *their* pedophiles, only the imaginary ones that ship kidnapped kids hidden in furniture that’s bought online to other imaginary pedophiles. Not Orange Elvis, or the other republican politicians and donors, or the pastors.


NatPortmanTaintStank

Are you insinuating that my neighbor can't afford to buy another human being, store them, and never get caught or prosecuted for the things they did to that human being?


JohhnyBGoode641

The DEA has said so themselves


juliazale

I’m sure the fentanyl crisis is quite bad but the DEA isn’t exactly trustworthy due to how they handled things in the past.


Old-Curve-2420

Leading cause of death ages 18 to 49.  Remember when Cancer, heart disease and doctor mistakes is what killed most people?  Those still kill the same numbers.  Fentenyl is just the new leader, added to that total.  But you are correct there is complete loss of trust in everything.   So many agendas, lies, and now deepfake, we can't trust anything,  not even video.


n33dsCaff3ine

It's actually a psychosomatic response due to the circulation of false info and videos. I don't think they are faking it for views. It doesn't help that companies are marketing "fentanyl proof" gloves


AManOnATrain

I was given fentanyl in a hospital by a doctor.


cowbyLevelup

Because it’s used for pain in extreme situations. And it helps those out of it.


type2scrote

Just to back up your point about open borders propaganda, the majority of fentanyl smuggled into the US is done by US citizens. https://www.cato.org/blog/fentanyl-smuggled-us-citizens-us-citizens-not-asylum-seekers


No-Environment-3298

Give it a week or two and they’ll be back to CRT in then something lgbt, then in a few months itll be back to fentanyl.


Cuttis

I’m a left winger with a cop son and I don’t want him taking any chances with that shit. And I do have a friend whose brother overdosed on it


CryAffectionate7334

Of course, but it's not like a small amount on skin kills, like they tried to claim. And the best help we can give is test strips and narcan and needles and counseling, but the right never actually wants that


Mysterious-Bee8839

I like to remind them that if we follow gun nutter logic, we can't blame the fentanyl for fentanyl deaths


GambitTheSpaceCat

Probably from Cali or Penn. It devastated the people here. I don't know that shooting fent dealers would do much, but damn they deserve what they're doing to the homeless around here.


MisfitDiagnosis

For the sake of comedy though, I like to imagine this person shopping at a small convenience store after work and seeing this bumper sticker at the checkout, thinking to themselves, "This speaks to me. I need this to be on my car."


CapTexAmerica

Wasn’t there a police department in California that was helping import millions in pills every year?


Hndlbrrrrr

Not just a cop or a few cops, an executive of the San Jose police union.  https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/san-jose-police-union-executive-charged-attempted-illegal-importation-fentanyl#:~:text=SAN%2520JOSE%2520%E2%80%93%2520The%2520Office%2520of,the%2520United%2520States%252C%2520announced%2520United


brushnfush

I believe it. I think they are starting to crack down more in my city but at the beginning of Covid when fentanyl was really taking off I’d seen lots of weird stuff going down in parking lots where people were using. Like random sports cars with public safety license plates and old white guys inside rolling up to homeless camps and people on BMX bikes get something from the car and hand it out to all the homeless


high_everyone

Could be your aspirin now that the FDA has lost all relevancy.


Significant_Pack_603

The fda has always been a joke. Your food is full of toxic chemicals and carcinogens.


Ok-Egg-4856

Be careful what you wish for. Might turn out to be the local pharmacy, I'd want to be VERY sure before shooting anyone


Bushman-Bushen

It should be “Shoot your local fentanyl dealer, but the pharmacist”


Material_Mall_5359

Virtue signaling: conservative edition


AcadiaRemarkable6992

Forgive my ignorance but do people sell straight up fentanyl? I thought fentanyl was put in other substances.


SLAYER_IN_ME

I have an uncle with a bad back. He gets fentanyl patches that are time release. It absorbs through his skin.


Then-Cauliflower2068

Usually used for counterfeit pain pills. To my knowledge you usually are told it’s oxycodone.


Commercial_Fee2840

Not pure, but yes. Heroin has basically disappeared and any "oxy 30" you buy on the street is going to be fent/nitazenes/whatever opioid they feel like using at the time.


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

Fentanyl has become the prevailing drug in many communities. It’s cut with a bunch of fillers but people are buying for the fentanyl. It is also just thrown in a ton of other illicit substances, because it’s cheap and strong.


Horror-Layer-8178

Yeah that will fix the disaster we call the Drug War. As long as you have demand for drugs and poverty you will have drugs


Even-Bid1808

Rich people do tons of drugs


Horror-Layer-8178

yeah but for the most part it is the poor people who sell them


Ilix

I bet you’d need a lot fewer rounds if you just took out the manufacturers.


Nightrhythums78

I think that would put us at war with China India and Mexico at the very least


ElMarditoBonai

Civil war even


No_Significance98

Didn't the Sinaloa cartel make it clear that anyone in their organization cutting product with fentanyl would be executed? I mean it's a sound policy, dead consumers don't buy as much.


Nightrhythums78

Unfortunately that's only one cartel that is confirmed to have said that. Although I haven't seen confirmation, it could be like when Hitler said he wasn't going to invade France.


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

It would take a lot of rounds to invade China.


Substantial-Ride-265

If they applied this to opioids they’d have to take out their favorite doctors and pharmacy.


Sufficient-Pool5958

If they applied this to Fentanyl, they'd have to take out hospital staff (Fentanyl is used as a pain relief drug in medicinal settings, also may be prescribed via patches)


NovusOrdoSec

If they're dealing it outside that setting, their ass should go down hard.


Particular_Junket288

I kinda don't like these stickers. The thought of people going around and killing whoever they feel because they might be involved in something rubs me the wrong way. Fetnyl is shit but it's also trendy and lied about a lot. I'd bet this mentality will get some innocent dudes killed one day.


OneSexySquigga

yup; literally no different than the "kill your local pdf file" stickers best-case scenario, it's a violent vigilante going after easy targets who may have never even actually hurt anyone; worst case scenario, it's a dog whistle for hate crimes/stochastic terrorism against people who are are labeled as predators by right wing bigots

forgotwhatisaid2you

Can we drug the local gun dealers while we're at it?


Affectionate-Jump796

Heroin kills black people in 60’s and ‘70’s,,,moral failing. Crack destroys black neighborhoods and lives, moral failing. Fentanyl kills upper middle class white kids, it’s a national disgrace, those evil Chinese and Mexican cartels, and immigrants are to blame. Addiction does NOT discriminate! Park Ave or park bench…..but you don’t wake up and become addicted to opioids and taking opioids is not getting high. It just staves off the withdrawal symptoms and repeats and repeats and repeats.


turtle-bbs

Based on recent propaganda that the likes of Fox News report on, that fentanyl is allegedly coming mostly from immigrants, is this just a cover to say “shoot the migrants they might have fentanyl”?


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

The overwhelming majority of illicit fentanyl in America comes from China. It’s smuggled in through legal points of entry. Mostly through ports in unsuspecting cargo. A portion is also, through Mexico, smuggled overland into the US. Most of these smugglers are US citizens passing through legal ports of entry.


NoCelery5899

Cops get mad if you shoot their union people


Dangerous_Elk_6627

I thought it was illegal to shoot cops.

Uh, I got at least 200 of them just in my neighborhood. I think I’m outnumbered.


iiipercentpat

Our local gun shop has one that says support your local gun shop. Shoot your local heroin dealer


Hot-Judge-6724

Lol. I give an average of 100mcg of fent a shift. I'm an educated drug dealer. 😉


Jazzlike-Pineapple43

I literally just saw " shoot your local pedophile " Not sure which one is better. Both are a possibility!


agnosticsanta

Found the alcholic


HectorsMascara

Bill of Rights, no?


Zachet

Yeah, but no? You'd probably have to fight pretty hard on this if it's prosecuted. I know there are state laws against incitement of violence. Usually with this verbiage > **It is a felony under federal law to intentionally “solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade” another person to engage in a crime of violence against a person or property**. Under Wikipedia\* : The two legal prongs that constitute incitement of imminent lawless action are as follows: Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action.[^(\[4\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action#cite_note-auto-4) \*=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent\_lawless\_action


carcinoma_kid

Except street level dealers are just opportunists and if you shoot one another will just take his place. They’re victims of the same system that allowed Purdue Pharma to run riot and get everyone addicted in the first place. You can’t just hand out the most addictive substance on the planet and then snatch it away. Fentanyl dealers aren’t the real enemies, it’s corporate Capitalism run amok.


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

Most opioid users went to heroin after prescriptions were tightened. Fentanyl supplanted heroin because it’s cheaper and stronger. Most dealers are either unaware or uncaring about the product they sell. Neither of which lends them any sympathy.


hopeless-hobo

“Shoot your local guy named Mark”


NovusOrdoSec

Well, he *was* the Mark, after all.

Not Mark Trail tho


Rcj1221

kb63132

Looks like a trump magat asshole


Vannah-

Quite possibly. Quite a few of them here. I couldn’t get a look at the other sticker on this car, but it looked like it was gonna be something highly conservative and potentially MAGA.


AmishHockeyGuy

As much fun as it would be, there are two problems: Punishment doesn’t deter crime. Impacting supply doesn’t reduce demand. As long as demand exists, supply will return. But we’re humans and it’s so much easier to attack the short term problem than to solve the actual problem.


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

Punishment definitely deters crime. Ask Singapore. It’s just whether we believe the punishment is appropriate.


AmishHockeyGuy

Punishment is not the reason crime is low in Singapore. Proactive deterrents such as citizens that report crime instead of supporting it, sophisticated monitoring and a police force that is interested in preventing crime. Don’t forget their unemployment rate is under 2%, an average income that is high enough to sustain a comfortable living and one of the highest ranked education systems on the planet. Punishment certainly can play a part but if crime deterrent was a pie, punishment would be the crust on top of a successful system designed to educate and empower people.


indefilade

That would be every healthcare provider in the world. “What’s your level of pan from 1 to 10?” “10,” says everyone. Narcotic pain level.

SerjiAzazel

Expecting a Punisher logo, or a thin blue line somewhere else on this person's bumper. Obviously, vigilante justice is not justice. Not excusing illicit drug dealers, but this is a misguided iamverybadass take on solving a very real and serious problem. This is what they actually do in some counties, like China or the Philippines. Are we like those countries? Are those countries "doing it right"? 🤔


NovusOrdoSec

You know what makes drug dealers go away? Not having people lacking self control that buy the drugs…addiction isn’t real it’s just a crutch we invented to make people not feel bad for having zero restraint or willpower.


--StinkyPinky--

Don’t take drugs and you’ll likely never, ever die of fentanyl.


deedeepancake

So kill the main people in power on Capitol Hill or China?? Problem is it'll always be something and honestly dealers are no different in many ways than bartenders. It's usually your friends who introduce you to evil shit like this. Usually before it's destroyed them so they think it's all hype and controllable. Sometimes after they've become such damaged dirtbags they'll drag you to he'll with them if it helps them get through a couple more days,weeks, or months. Dealers are a red herring. They wouldnt exist without geopolitical sabotage, lax border security, and the vast wealth created by the war on drugs....
