...Narcan?
*Actually decided to click through to the article for this one.
I know fentanyl is the big scary drug of the decade but...is that something that happens? That sounds insane.
I know that here in WA state last year, several county election offices were sent envelopes filled with white powder, and a few of them tested positive for trace quantities of fentanyl. It's a somewhat nebulous threat, since nobody was actually affected, but there you go.
this happened once https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
if large amounts of fentanyl are available, who knows, but it seems like a weird choice over, say, extra first aid kits or bulletproof vests
I mean...yeah, ok. I don't think a single incident from 2 decades ago is exactly a sign this is common, but it's precedent I suppose. Would narcan even help with something like that?
Yeah, and lots of people died because doctors didn't know about it, and thought it was something else
That's a lot of casualties caused by the rescue effort.
You can't have hostage crisis if there are no hostages. See also Beslan school siege, where russian army fired thermocaric rockets and tank shells into that building with hostages inside
Whether it's because of a silly reason or not, it's never a bad idea to stock up on Narcan at events where lots of people will be present.
Maybe they didnt wanna say that they expect lots of people to show up while high af
That is pretty insane. Opiates seem like they would make terrible chemical weapons.
