A new Gazette editorial this morning says that radical liberal and Colorado House Speaker Alec Garnett “will own the deaths and the grief” resulting from a new fentanyl law that would enable “one person to poison 500-plus..”.
In an editorial attacking the politicians at the Capitol, the Gazette says the new fentanyl law passed through the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week, “treats lives as expendable”:
“Despite the carnage, seven Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee and Republican Mike Lynch think possessing highly lethal amounts should remain a misdemeanor. They propose protecting Colorado’s status as the country’s least threatening state for possessing the world’s most deadly drug. We’re so cool.
