    At this moment, three bills — one in Florida (SB 718), one in West Virginia (HB 5319) and the other in Tennessee (SB 1754) — are making their way through their respective state legislatures. All three will allow for a felony charge to be levied against people who expose a first responder to fentanyl or a fentanyl analog, such as carfentanil or remifentanil.

    All Republican states. They sure never miss an opportunity to incarcerate and kill the poor.

      Felonies all over the place. There are more reasonable charges if the point isn’t just to destroy as many lives as possible.

      They get off on judging and treating those they judge unworthy poorly. It’s really disturbing. Yet the minute the situation happens to them or someone they care for, they demand empathy. Just a selfish mindset.
