San Francisco is being engulfed by a “tidal wave” of overdoses with deadly fentanyl claiming 62 lives out of 71 total deaths from drug overdoses last month, according to grim statistics released by city’s Medical Examiner’s office.
The liberal Northern California city is in the midst of a crime, homeless and drugs crisis and the results were released on the same day as a new report which concluded “City hall is failing” its citizens. The overdose figures also place San Francisco on course to break a 2020 record for total number of overdoses, when 712 people died according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
“This tidal wave of fentanyl continues to overwhelm our communities,” Dr. Grant Colfax, San Francisco health department director, told the newspaper. “The department recognizes that the tragic, continuing rise of overdose deaths in San Francisco is unacceptable and we want everyone to know we are responding with urgency and with our full attention.”

Biden’s fault. The Democrat Party truly is the party of death.
San Francisco, that’s really nothing to be proud of. Woke and always Dem voting or not.
Biden is not helping, but this goes back to before he was president.
But let’s just keep tolerating drug use. Funny, how drug abuse keeps increasing the more we loosen up on marijuana laws.
“Funny, how drug abuse keeps increasing the more we loosen up on marijuana laws.”
Yes, how odd is that?
Also, drug use keeps going up the more we provide needles, safe spaces, etc.
Another odd thing.
Drug use is as old as mankind. Back in my younger years before it was legal I never had any problems getting it.
No one is clamoring to bring back alcohol prohibition. Booze damn near killed me. I’m lucky to have survived it.
Far lucky not to have killed anyone when I was driving around bombed out of my skull.
because their lives are so important that we must not let them just die, like they want to.
The government wants people to be taking as many drugs as possible.
China wants them to.
China wants revenge for The Opium Dens, they know how this works.
Well, the U.S. spent it’s first 80 years selling Opium in/to China. I hate saying that, but it’s true.
SF spends $672 million a year on homeless support scams, more than $60k per homeless resident. Completely flushed.
As they say, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
The people who lead such efforts make a lot of money. They have a vested interest not to solve the problem.
The race is on to be the most genuine Gotham City.
“Far lucky not to have killed anyone when I was driving around bombed out of my skull.”
Known for a fact?
Which will kill more Americans?
Fentanyl or the Plandemic?
Yup. If I had I’d still be in jail.
One of the lucky few who’s
claimed from the abyss.
My dear ol’ dad succumbed
to alcohol. Dead at 57.
