These deaths are poisonings not overdoses💔
💯
Volunteered poisoning?
They are doing the same thing , in California on the streets , with weed tainted with fentanyl !! Genocide by the System !
Its not overdoses, its mass poisonings.
Absolutely
💯💯💯
Fentynal poisoning is not an overdose.
For all of you who think any governmental agency, local, state or otherwise can fix anything, I say, " it is way too late for that."
Unfortunately,its the new way of life now in the ATX..👍🏽
The DEA could stop arresting doctors and telling drug companies not to make an adequate amount od safe, legal pain medicine.
Not going to change one thing.
They don't want to "fix" anything. This IS the "fixing".
Only going to get worst not BETTER YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE WOULD KNOW BY NOW
CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER ALREADY.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately,the border has nothing to do with it..its the new way of life now..👍🏽
Yeeeeaaaahhhhh, that’s gonna help.
@@valroze1647 It could slow things down. Something needs to be done.
@@DavidSmith-sf4rlIt's called 'culling'.
There are people who have chronic pain that need narcotics but doctors are reluctant to prescribe.. Eventually, these patients will seek go to the streets
That’s an addiction if going to street to get drugs.
Taking these counterfeit pills is like playing Russian Roulette with a Loaded Gun.
An amount of Fentanyl equal to 12 grains of salt is deadly.
You can’t play Russian roulette with an unloaded gun.
That makes no sense when it relates to Fentanyl Overdoses.
I've lost more friends and patients to Fentanyl.
People think they are immune to Fentanyl. It's like playing Russian Roulette with a Loaded Gun.
You statement is dumb. I know what I said in my post.
Shut the damn border.
Appreciate your efforts but please stop calling it “overdosing”. If it is Fentanyl, it is a “poisoning”. And all too often, it is a naive teen, not an addict, looking to escape anxiety or something of the like, who thinks they’re buying Xanax or Percocet, yet it is Fentanyl and they are tragically killed.
My prayers for this community. I carry Narcan in my car and purse. This crisis is just insane.
After I saw someone drop like a fly at the gas pump AND a friend did what she thought was coke and started falling asleep I ALWAYS carry narcan in my purse and my car bc it traumatized me especially when the lady the guy at the gas pump was with didn’t even try to help him she was otp w/her friend and hiding their needles I was pissed like call 911 wtf I’m literally doing cpr!! Ugh it was awful
i was like "wow" okay then - i read person above - i see what you're saying !!!
scarey times and the Bible states that it can only get worse
My Condolences to all the family's that have lost loved ones.
There are so many reasons in addition to this one to vote out the incumbent Austin City Council and Travis County District Attorney
They are part of the problem. So is the Mayor.
It's so sad that pain patients can't get any relief anymore. Legal, regulated opioid prescriptions have been cut by 60%, while people still need surgery and have accidents. Our doctors have abandoned the principle of non-maleficence, and are driving the demand for illicit fentanyl.
And it costs a fortune for all of the drug screens and appointments!
Gross
You should be more worried about the deaths, than your addiction
This is not about pain, it is about poverty
You can still get opiods from a doctor for pain, I got an entire bottle last year for a dog bite
@@Chelzebelles how dare you! I’m 72 years old and have ms and fibromyalgia! Don’t lump everyone into you hateful ways!
@1234singingismylife No.
I ALSO got diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
I fought to find the source, not become addict (gluten intolerance/poor diet)
You CAN get opiods again, move to another state if yours sucks or try Kratom
Your friends/generation isn't dying/dropping like flies, so you only care about yourself
This isn't about pain, this is addiction
@@Chelzebelles it is constant pain. 💕
El chapo said if he doesn't get better treatment he was going to unleash something.i bet this is it
Start slow, low and have a sober friend, what a crock, it’s like you’re giving these people permission to do drugs. What happened to just say NO. If someone chooses to do drugs they should be prepared for the consequences. They have nothing to fear when normal citizens are walking around with Narcan.
Please understand this poison is being put into Marijuana also. And it is so lethal even touching it can be deadly. You don't have to do drugs to die from fentynol poisoning. This crap is horrible. And remember those that are addicts, they are human beings and their addiction is hurting the non addict person in their life that loves them. ❤ 💔
Don’t do drugs. Especially on these times!
rehab is arevolving door
As intended.
People who take drugs know the risks.
Remember the Bayer tainted with HIV ❓
And fentynol kills non drug users also. Merely having skin contact with it can be deadly please educate yourself. ♥
Tell that to the babies that died in Seattle!
who, what, where, when? Please let us know.
There's a mental health addiction crisis people are in prison in their own minds, be compassionate to addicts in your family and friends to
No.
@user-rm8gt6qq3rTough Love didn't work with my son and we lost him to overdose 😢💔
Yes.
@@janetpartyka5968 Wait until you're compassionate and they steal everything you own or assault you. They need to open up lots of state hospitals for these people. Many of them are damaged beyond repair. I see them twirling and tweaking every day in Phoenix. And now it's getting hot. Oh happy day. They'll steal your cat food bowl if they a can get their hands on it.
CLOSE THE BORDER!!!!
Unfortunately its a border issue..its a new way of life now.👍🏽
many Americans made fun of and joked about President Trumps' mission to build a wall and secure & close the boarders 2016-2020 ! then 'they' 2021 started tearing down the wall & opened the boarders
@@Proverbs31_25 i agree totally..
This is what happens when you vote democrat Austin has turned into the new SAN Francisco
Wow what intelligent thought processing. You must be grade school educated.
Austin is full of Califorians so that makes sense.
Most Austinites support the open border so they should accept the results of tons of fentanyl coming across the border.

I was just wondering if it came from joe or hunter's stash 😂😂😂
Obviously it's coming from 1 source of 1 drug. Austin, emerald city, TX has gone from enjoyable 2 deplorable. It all starts at the top 4 correction and availability.
With all that TX law enforcement have the ability to do, digitally; with this being such an IT hub. They better do their jobs honorably with this one. With such a big number affected- in one of the state's largest cities. Eyes are on this one... We know how the local reaction with our homeless population. If the family of the 'housed people' 🙄 stay on the PD maybe some questions could get answered.
I hope they can get that off the streets and find the distributor who laced it
Too many Democrat policies in Austin, dragging the city down, city Council and mayor, all of them, vote red
Too many junkies in your communities
🇺🇸❤️
Contradicting logic : you should never use the substance, but if you choose to …. What the hell happen to the first statement? 9:45
Choices have consequences…
Exactly
People been pressing pills all over the USA too
murder
Useless waste of tax payer money. It is not a perfect world that not a way to live.
Austin turning into to San Francisco glad I moved outta there!
World economic forum thinks we are all dumb
How do we get Narcan?
I bought some recently at HEB!
I had my doctor write me an RX. I’m a first responder due to my career. I don’t work with a squad anymore but wanted to carry it in case I saw someone in need. My copayment was $38. You might be able to get it at a fire station or police department.
U would think they could use the same program to make some arrests
I will never understand people who choose to play Russian roulette.
It's desperation. Imagine having to live like that. A bad childhood pushes people into this lifestyle, and breaking free is highly difficult. Still, it can and must be done!
It was the beginning of the month....Government Checks were in.
You obviously didn’t watch/listen to the entire video.
Little San Fran.....
I think we’re pass that san fran scenario…👍🏽
ThTs a bandaid to a strategic chemical strike it is a death sentence with new legend drugs
It's not just that it's slumped drivers rollovers etc..
That is what taxpayers call a taxcut!! We saved so much in homeless support and jail days from the alleged victims.. This is goodnews for those who don't do drugs
This is why no one has hydro in San Antonio. I carry a dose. I get two and always give the other to someone who has family or works in area where people do. At least I know why. Why would prescription hydro be bad? I don’t take many, but nice to have when in pain
Stop giving people narcan.
😢
To those that stated that this was not an overdose that it was a poisoning. So are you saying that taking drugs of this sort is normal? Every time you take one of these drugs off the street. You’re taking your life into your own hands. So don’t glorify it by saying oh it wasn’t an overdose. It was a poisoning. It was a little bit of colt and column, but let’s just keep it real. They should not have had this within their grasp anyway.
Sounded somewhat like a TV advertisement 😮
51 people? All police departments need to check there convascated drug lockers... Also I wonder if this was a outsider who went to your town.... Every police departments must check your inventory now... This was Straight Murder....
who makes narcan???
The seller, the people will talk ... Hear them though... I am so horrified
Tucson az poisonings also.
Poisionings are not overdose! Call it what it is!
She got something to do with it ...check the evidence room for missing items
how about making life easier with mental hospitals hopefulness and security
🙏🙏🙏 may God guide y’all and help y’all in safe apprehension.
Are any of the deaths bc of "Gray death" ❓
I blame the families for supporting each other when in need. Broken families everywhere
51 people is nothing to brag about, what did you pick and choose between who lives and gets narcan?
We desperately need help in California also....
Pima county as well.
EagleOne 💚 🦅 💚
Now, remember I told you, police have the best drugs, everyone knows that 😢😢😢😢
This was Straight from Hell all the way around
This WAS DELIBERATE!!!
Someone just became a serial killer 😢😢😢😢
Bet oh my God, no way
What a waste of money.
It’s natural selection at work.
Thank Arizona. 51% of all fentanyl in the US comes thru Arizona.
Sell liquor everywhere instead of only in bad neighborhoods!!!! Outdated blue laws.
They are doing it for life policies 3-5 contract
Idk why if they are not willing to help themselves we are?
I blame Rogan. Everything was fine till he moved.
One thing to say fjb it’s your fault
Austin is just like Kensington Ave in Philly and the Tenderloin in SF. The Democratic Party and its policies, strikes again!
dont bother w narcon
What a truly awful place Texas is.
I love you, Aston. But you need to stop being weird as your motto states. If you weren’t so wayward and different in Texas, especially. Perhaps some of these things would not be happening.
When: Now Where: Right in front of your face Why: Open borders
Austin's Woke social culture contributes to this statistic.
Close the borders.
Defund narcan
Tell the cops to stop selling drugs.
Why is this happening? BECAUSE YOU CONDONE IT.
MAGA 2024
Trump 2024, close the border!
Let's go joebama
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but don't do anything about all the violence
Is this a surprise welcome to open borders
Trump and the Republicans in 2024
😂😂 horns down 😂😂
