Ohio authorities have seized a multi-million dollar haul of fentanyl so large they're calling it a 'weapon of mass destruction.'

"The quantity of fentanyl in this case amounts to chemical warfare and a weapon of mass destruction," said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Shamar Davis, 31, Anthony Franklin, 30, and Grady Jackson, 37, of Dayton, Ohio were arrested in the operation on suspicion of narcotics trafficking. They face charges of possession with intent to distribute 400 or more grams of fentanyl, as well as felon in possession of a firearm, the RANGE statement said.

Americans demand...it is supplied to them....Yet... SOMEHOW...it is everyone else's fault....

Ohio? is that on the border too like 'Colorado'? Millions if not billions misappropriated by Trump administration for his border war/wall Trump is making our country less safe Reject the Trump Regime VoteGOPOut

maggieNYT I would assume the trump family had something to do with bringing it here and the Republicans are figuring out their defense for them.

dwinfrey72 Did it come off of SecElaineChao shipping boat? Did it senatemajldr ?

maggieNYT Did it come over MEXICO OR A PORT Sorry for the caps

Socialist=Dem=Liberals just call it an open border.

Did this fentanyl come through the newly cut part of the border fence?

Wow now they need a wall in Ohio

100% done with China.

maggieNYT Amazing. And yet everyday Ohioans have to fight tooth and nail to get their prescriptions filled from their legitimate doctors. Those poor Californians with those rolling power blackouts having to rely on electronic prescriptions and the computers to send and receive them. Sin.

maggieNYT This explains Ohio’s 2016 Presidential vote, doesn’t it?

So it's coming in through the legal ports of entry. Hmmm. Guess the 'emergency wall' is useless.

Idk why, but busts like that don't resonate with me. Idk how many doses that is. I can't wrap my head around it.

I hope people should do their part eh not to use this fentanyl right no offense we have a a brain to think that fentanyl is bad for you

Government should educate people in Ohio they have this problem gee if I live there and I have children I will move fast as I can

Leave the Ohio people alone they suffered enough good this drugs was been seized

Posted DAILY since October 21st. Let it GO!

Certainly enough to kill all the remaining elephants in the world.

Powdered Fentanyl CANNOT be absorbed through the skin. The original PD that claimed that had to retract that lie after being called out by Real Doctors and Chemists. I suggest you do the same. Sheesh, no wonder they call you Fake News & Rape Concealers. RoninFarrow

maggieNYT HOLEEEEEEE SHIT !!!

maggieNYT Whos´s consuming this shit? Gringo junkies. This is a health problem which is not solved with AR-15, AK-47 and the like.

Could you imagine this 💩 getting into a PWS?

There needs to be the death penalty to running so much of this drug.

maggieNYT No. No. No. no. And no.

How did this get over the wall? realDonaldTrump

What a mess

maggieNYT Chinese WMD self administered

maggieNYT Was it thrown over the Mexican border

maggieNYT jokers_trick

Thank you Ohio PD.

maggieNYT Should drumpf build a wall around Ohio?

Instead of human beings helping each other they are destroying each other! How shameful and graceful!

maggieNYT And a wall would have prevented its arrival?

maggieNYT Its a Trade War gift from China to Trumplicans.......eat up Ohio.....you will be just fine

So you need a wall around ohio as well realDonaldTrump

maggieNYT Now how did that get through that BIG, BEAUTIFUL WALL?

'enough to kill the entire population of Ohio, many times over.'

maggieNYT

*Stares in Dick Cheney*

Build the wall in Ohio

maggieNYT West Virginia should be happy.

maggieNYT Origin of production?

Now that’s a bust! Nice work!!

Thanks BarackObama

China trying to kill everyone....

maggieNYT Sanction China already.

maggieNYT If all drugs were legal this would not be happening. It's pretty simple math. Yang2020

maggieNYT My question is why is Fentanyl not only given in Hospitals . I know even Equine vets keep it locked up & only they can give it to animals not owners .

maggieNYT BRAVO!!Saving lots of lives by taking that CRAP OFF THE STREET!

maggieNYT 🤦🏼‍♀️OMG he will be building a wall around Ohio.

maggieNYT Yikes.

maggieNYT The same thing happened in Brevard County, FL. They seized enough to kill almost every resident. This is a scary time as this is, like the article said, “chemical warfare”.

maggieNYT That's crazy. Not close to Mexico, though🤔

maggieNYT 3/11/19: Trump Authorizes Nuclear Assault on Toledo, Ohio.

maggieNYT Nice job Ohio!

OHIO? OHIO? In the NORTH part of AMERICA? REALLY? NOT at the SOUTHERN BORDER? I didn't know DRUGS came anywhere but the SOUTHERN BORDER! ARE you SURE? Then WHY ARE WE BUILDING A SILLY WALL? TRUMP? Because TRUMP made the foolish mistake of campaigning on a useless wall!!

The media are so stupid sometimes: some cops told me this was a WMD so we’ll just repeat their hysteria.

Uh-oh Ohio will be next to get a Wall from realDonaldTrump.

Thank god for the wall.

Hmmm. You mean it wasn't smuggled across an unwalled border by human mules

Too bad. Would have been a big help eliminating the trash.

Trump's people smuggle those kind of stuff that killed people with it.

Hang the bastards who were caught with this.

We gave China our jobs and in exchange we got cheap plastic toys and boat loads of fentanyl. Thank God Trump is calling them out. Biden would never bite the hand that feeds him and Hunter

NOT a WMD ... the terms overuse is about to hit peak absurdity

It has to be warfare to them, that way they can blame anyone but themselves for the public health crisis they created.

That's insane. I know we have a HUGE problem here in Ohio with this stuff. Very addicting.

This is what happens when a country full of addicts spend annually spend $30 billion on illicit drugs. We created this market.

You people are letting fascists write your headlines.

Yay!!!

Good! Now, give chronic pain patients their meds back!

I guess Trump will build a wall in Ohio

morgfair Ohio? Mexicans fault.

deray Cool so now my heroin prices are through the roof smh THANKS AMERICA

Once again THANK GOD for that wall!!!

Wow

What border crossing did this come thru? 🙄

deray

goldietaylor Last time I checked Ohio wasn't near southern border, btw reports that they are cutting thru new parts that trump put in🤣🤣🤣

ljohn44 Glad that wall along Mexico helped stop this...?

deray And they’ve decided to build a wall around the state?

American based narcotrafficking.

deray Bro WHAT

This amount blows my mind As a health care provider legally administering fentanyl I have to account for every single mcg.

This is horrible but just remember whoever this is out to get us because of the tariffs drug use is getting worse yes. I don't get it why anybody wouldn't want to use this stuff in the first place

Words mean things. Quit using them to mean other things.

You guys know that of trump is given money by the drug cartels, he will allow this in the US, right?

The wall didn't stop this? My, my

I have another clue . The president of Honduras brother is in prison for drug trafficking but the big guy is the president himself called Juan Hernandez

Trump said he solved the fentanyl with China...guess not.

Exaggeration much?

Was it walked across the border... Into Ohio?

That’s scary

But it’s not a weapon of mass destruction any more than a swimming pool is. Why are you parroting their ridiculous claim?

From China 🇨🇳 or Russia?

maddow Probably shipped by mail from China....

maddow realDonaldTrump when are you going to start putting Ohio baby’s in cages? Or build a wall around PA, NY, OH, the ports where all these fentanyl busts are happening., Not a God Damned peep out of about these huge busts. Here’s your real problem.

This is southern Ohio, basically Kentucky

maddow But but Ohio doesn't border Mexico!!

maddow But hey, we don’t need a wall or border security, right? Just open the borders and let it flow! Fuk it.

maddow And where does it come from? china through mexico in most cases. Under Democrat policies the drugs would pour in killing thousands of American citizens. Corrupt democrats don’t care.

Glad they got it.

maddow Making this a crime against humanity? Like Sadam Hussein?

maddow I assume all that was carried on the backs of poor immigrants with big calf muscles...... Not.

Secure our borders

WhiteHouse See, this would not happen if we had a fence along the border of Ohio and that big body of water. Sexualpredatrump needs to put one there.

Wow !!!

maddow America's appetite for lethal opioids & hallucinogenic drugs is encouraging production. There is little supply without demand. Just say NO! 21st century America reminds me of late 19th century China; -Declining econ -Rising social unrest -Rampant drug abuse & -Xenophobia

I guess we’re invading Ohio now. 🤷

maddow Coming up next: trump calls for a high-tech wall on the Kentucky border.

maddow What?!?! An actual news story from a sellout?!

maddow Hey, but let's focus on a bogus impeachment fight in Congress, o issues at the border whatsoever

maddow I wonder whose shipping company brought it here ... 🤔

Montgomery County is bad. I rememberJacob Soboroff covering this a few years ago.

I thought drugs came over the Mexican border? This was in Ohio

What if a small plane were to fly over cities and sprinkle this drug into people below. Like Chem trails. Would it be as deadly? Or dissipate into the air? That’s scary as fuck

maddow Back in my day we had innocent drugs like crack, cocaine, meth, angel dust, ecstasy, heroin, etc. This fentanyl is serious stuff. It needs to be banned.

WellesleyRock Wow, Grandma's medicine cabinet is HUGE opioidhysteria

maddow Trump's campaign fund?

maddow Says here ObamaFoundation FirstNetGov did CPR to overdose victim harvard science weaponization evidences professional practices infrastructure credentials certifications develop position nothing can do yale scream ford technicians techniques sex sells shade DEAhq crackhead

maddow Oh no! What will Hunter do?

Kay.

maddow But honestly, we should chastise them for their word choice. If it is a weapon of mass destruction... shouldn’t we look at the fact that Fentanyl is an S8 narcotic that is primarily produced in licensed fucking factories? These weapons of mass destruction have a stock symbol.

maddow Ohio? Isn’t that Jim_Jordan state? But Trump insists drugs were pouring over the border from Mexico.

maddow Fantastic yt horrifying. It represents a mere fraction of what is still on the streets/going on the streets. Americans don't understand that what came over the Canadian border frm Asia while the govt was fixated on Mexico is light years more deadly. Staggering death tolls coming

maddow No one even gives a shit.

maddow Not too cleaver, and not funny at all.

Why & how this drug is on the street being mixed with heroin is a bigger story. Fentanyl is very short acting but so strong it’s measured in micrograms when given intravenously. It takes a well trained nurse with monitoring equipment just to make sure patients continue breathing.

maddow When is that Ohio border wall scheduled to be finished?

maddow You know many countries have a mandatory death penalty for drugs. They don't let them set in jail. They also don't have all the problems we do.

😮

The same BS propaganda. 100 years from now you want to be doing this. EndProhibition This stuff wouldn't exist without controlled substance laws. End this nonsense.

maddow And it continues

maddow Wonder what Mr Blubber’s commission is/was ?

maddow Dems must be disappointed it got seized. Open those borders? You can addict millions more to control their vote. They'll do what their told as long as your open borders give access to their drugs. They are Dem slaves. As Dems laugh at the pathetic lives & their families.

maddow WOW 😱 Good catch 🙏🙏🙏

Is this a joke? Who is making this and who was their intended buyer? If this is so dangerous...

maddow Do they know where it came from❓

maddow This is southern Ohio. I wish people would believe me when I tell you they aren't right down there.

Can we build that wall around the border of Ohio now? 🤔

maddow Build that wall, right?

maddow Yeah, hi, I live in south Dayton, and would just like to ask WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

maddow See if you would just build the border around Ohio it will keep it all out .

maddow Jim Jordan’s state.

maddow Flint still doesn’t have clean water.

maddow Ohio... Worse than Chicago.

maddow They need to stop calling it that because that is a dumb thing to do. Perpetuating “Drugs = War” is not a sustainable way of running a free society.

This story is from October 21st and has been repeatedly posted as 'news' since then.

maddow Good thing they want a fence around Mexico?

maddow Call it the 'Michael Jackson' killer drug. See how fast shit can happen.

maddow That fentanyl is bad news. However, I don't see why dealers would need that much of it if it's really that strong.

hatfield0729 Aerosolized it could kill millions...remember how no one could envision 9-11...

maddow While they're locking these people up (rightfully so), they should start doing the same thing to the CEOs and upper level management officials at the companies that peddled all this for the past two decades. Make them pay AND jail them. They're literally getting away with murder.

maddow

maddow still mad about the opium wars

From Russia with love...

Yeah, I need that back

there's nothing coming across our borders that we should be concerned about

OHIO OhBaby Fentanyl That literally rots folks from the inside out. RotsTheFace Don't ever touch it.

huh. ohio’s not mexico

Agreed that’s a lot of lives no start doing the same with Big Pharma

Send it to me I’ll snort that shit

Wow! And that’s probably half of what they actually seized!

You folks aren’t very smart. Just because it was seized in Ohio doesn’t mean it originated from there. Heyyy but whatever ya gotta say to be in the resistance! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why can’t we all just smoke pot

Dan druggy’s

bevdevwarrior build a wall around Ohio!

Keep it up boys in blue

This is silly. You are letting drug war propagandists write your headlines.

What ? Saddam Husein is back and alive.. ?

Where did it come from... China?

Could kill entire Ohio state population many times over. Maybe Jim Jordan should focus on his home state issues.

Exactly. An act of terrorism on its own. Imagine what else they have been attacking the world with. There are many chemical substances that we buy from them legally and the world doesn't suspect it's being used to kill people. Pesticides. Herbicides. Prescription medications...

Yet, doctors are pimping it out without supervision. Who will arrest the doctors?

This hits home. I know 2 young families who are fostering babies with serious health issues because of this sickening epidemic. Trump has done NOTHING opiods

Wow!

Put tariffs on it.

Ozzy Osbournes weekend stash ?

I don't even know what it is!

In the floor-boards of a truck, driving through a border port of entry. C’mon Ohio, the country needs you to be clear eyed and awake for 2020.

How much you wanna bet this sewage came not from Mexico, but China!?

God forgive the scientist that first created this poison.
