First and foremost these people that deal this drug have no reason to be in society. And in today’s world they don’t care about you period and will sell this drug no matter who it kills. So I say when convicted immediately get this person ready to be executed by whatever means they choose and they have 1 hour ti decide or a decision will be made for them. Some will say that’s cruel!!! Remember it cruel to sell illegal drugs like this one that kills anyone who gets it
Agree with mnon.
Time to put a stop to the nonsense of lax sentencing.
See the other article, 25 years to life, possible death penalty. Time to get this off our streets and out of our country. Tired of seeing the state just gloss over the destruction this causes, time for people to fear the death penalty for selling this poison.
