Where did they get the fentanyl?

The drugs and violence won’t stop unless you deal with the source. These thugs were just the frontmen. They are easily replaced.

I don’t care about drugs at all. I care about safety. If these guys were peaceful entrepreneurs helping people safely expand their minds, then they are welcome in our neighborhoods. If they are endangering people’s lives with guns and violent crime then lock them up.

Then legalize drugs if you are serious.

Right, because legalizing weed has totally eliminated the black market for it.

ICYMI: legalizing weed prompted dealers to expand their horizon. They moved onto much deadlier drugs that are killing people every day—and fueling street usage and homelessness.

And MD kicks off recreational weed usage on July 1. Brace yourselves Baltimore, PG, MoCo, etc.

Studies show increased serious and deadly car accidents linked to pot in states that legalized it. Yippee!!!

The drug cartels are actually run from Mexico. These dc based frontline workers aren’t the real issue. Others are waiting in the wings to play the game.

A few years ago, the fentanyl came directly from China through the mail, through USPS. The government took action and that avenue was closed. Now fentanyl comes from China through Mexico. We stop tremendous amounts of it at the border. But our border system is so disastrous though that we are unable to close this avenue.

It could if we actually regulated it like tobacco and alcohol. Instead we have a weird gray market because of the conflict between federal and local laws.

That's some really wishful thinking. California, Oregon, Colorado, etc have had legal weed regulated like tobacco and alcohol for quite a while now, and still have thriving black markets for weed.

Yes, because of prohibition. That’s why alcohol doesn’t still have the same. There was once a thriving black market for alcohol post prohibition as well until the market matured and restrictions were loosened.

We live in this neighborhood and I drive on Kennedy St everyday. I am glad MPD arrested these criminals.

It's been a few days... I imagine they're back on the street causing more trouble, as per usual?

Sounds like a road design issue
