Reply to comment by IDCFFSGTFO in Three arrested with 100 pounds of fentanyl in Mattapan apartment, DA says by FuriousAlbino

They didn't actually capture 100 lbs of fentanyl though.

They also didn't adhere to strict lab conditions to assure that each pilll contained the same dose. I am sure some of those pills they pressed had overdose amounts of fentanyl in them. That is a common way for young first time pill poppers to die. These are not addicts selling to manage their own habit. Put them away.

Oh, absolutely. Fentanyl is dangerous and we should harshly punish those who intentionally peddle in it. But we don't have to misrepresent how bad this is by saying there was enough fent there to kill everyone in the state three times over when there wasn't.

Justice comes with accurately representing the facts.

I think the facts are accurately portrayed here. They put a value of 2.2 million on it. 100 lbs of pure fentanyl is worth more than that?

When police report the value of drugs, they report the street value, because it is higher. 100 lbs of pure fentanyl is worth over a billion in street value.

so 2.2 mil accurately describes the purity and value.

It probably accurately describes the higher end of the street value, yea. But representing drugs by their street value is like representing a crate of apples as having a value of $1000, because they could be turned into apple pies and sold at Marie Calendars.

These guys had the apples and they had pie crust and they had ovens, so they were definitely planning on turning the apples into apple pies. But there's a lot of work that has to be done between having the raw materials and actually having that much in cash.

My point is that the 2.2 number has that data in it. 100 lbs of pure is worth more. The 100 lbs of cut pill product is worth 2.2.

Ask me if I give a fuck. My cousin was killed by some cocksuckers just like these, if it wasn't them. Everyone caught trafficking in fentanyl or carfentanyl should all be charged with felony murder. Someone should run for congress on that platform, they'd win in almost any district in the fucking country at this point. Everybody knows somebody.

you're being a clown. He's obviously not advocating for the dealer or minimizing what the dealer is doing or any other nonsensical phrases you keep spewing, he's just clarifying the facts since it's obviously misleading to say they have "100 lb's of fent". Nobody is defending, advocating for, or minimizing what the dealer is doing. just stop..
