Student charged with murder after two classmates die of fentanyl overdoses hours before graduation
 
By Brad Matthews - The Washington Times - Friday, May 19, 2023
A Tennessee high schooler has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of drug possession after two classmates died of overdoses this week.

The three juniors involved were found in a car in the parking lot of Fayette-Ware Comprehensive High School in Somerville, Tennessee, at around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday.

A 16-year-old and 17-year-old were found dead, and the 17-year-old suspect was found unconscious. She would be hospitalized.

The 16-year-old was identified by her father as Alyssa Thorne. The father, Mark Thorne, said he believes fentanyl-laced cocaine killed her, having spoken to her about it that morning.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So sad. I've read reports that some marijuana around here is laced with fentanyl.

Fentanyl which likely came from China through the porous Mexican border. Thanks, Joe.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
