They should be charged with at the least institutional and organized manslaughter. My area had 24 over dose deaths in one weekend due to fentinal in the heroin just this year.

I agree.

Can you define what an 'area' is for you? Thanks.

I live in a city of 120,000 and so my area is the metropolitan area which includes the suburbs. I think more drugs are consumed in the suburbs then in cities contrary to popular belief. Drugs cost money and there is certainly more money in the suburbs then in most rust belt cities.

Probably a county or metropolitan area, this stuff has been happening all over the nation as of late in pretty drastic rates.

That's my guess as well. I am seeking to at least somewhat contextualize the probability.
