CMPD Says Fentanyl Is Everywhere. Charlotte Sees 20% Increase in Overdoses This Year.
Yahoo! News ^ | Mon, August 21, 2023 | Kallie Cox

Overdose deaths in Charlotte rose over 20% from a year ago and fentanyl is the main culprit, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Already this year CMPD has reported as many as 137 fatal overdoses and responded to 1,000 calls to aid overdose victims. Most of these involved fentanyl.

One of these calls came late Sunday night, when a 32-year-old in Charlotte became the 137th victim, officials said at a press conference Monday. Dr. Jon Studnek, Medic’s deputy director, who joined CMPD Monday, said the agency treats about seven patients a day with suspected opioid overdoses. Medic does what it can, but more help from the community and other harm reduction programs are needed, Studnek said.

China is tearing down the US without firing a shot. Including the ruined lives of families of addicts and the ones who die and leave loved ones to grieve from drug deaths.

And using illegal Mexicans as their foot soldiers.

I wonder what connections the CCP has with the cartels.

Yup. If we SEALED the border and assassinated the cartels, a lot of this mess would dry up. Instead, the dems sit back and watch the destruction of our country. Thanks Chuckie, Nancy and everyone else who opposes finishing the Wall and putting military troops on the border with orders to kill. Every other country does it. Look at Ukraine. Amd we’re funding it.

“CLOSE THE DAM BORDER !”

“Mexico became the top U.S. trading partner at the beginning of 2023, with total bilateral trade between the two countries totaling $263 billion during the first four months of this year.”

China fills retail stores. Mexico supplies the auto companies.

The auto jobs once done in the Midwest have been moved south.

And using illegal Mexicans as their foot soldiers.

And now Illinois has passed a law that will allow wetbacks to serve as police officers. My guess is cartel wetbacks are going to be swarming into that sewer of a state, killing wetback competition for the cop jobs, and setting up drug distribution and human trafficking centers all over the state.

Stupid liberals.

Not a chance. In fact, as slimy biden gets closer to the end of his reign, you’ll see two things take place. 1) Millions more filthy wetbacks will be flooding in and 2) the Lame Stream Media will be quieter and quieter about it.
