An average of 22 14-18 year olds died from fentanyl in 2022 per week.
I'm not sure how that compares to the number of kids killed in school shootings, but it's clearly a bigger problem by orders of magnitude.
Why is there such a disparity in the media coverage and public outrage between these two issues?

Conflating two completely different issues to extract foolish point is what a dumbass would do.
Trying to comeback from your yesterday's stupid post makes you even more of a dumbass.
I am not conflating, I am comparing.

You need to be raging against DJT for torpedoing the bipartisan Senate Border Security and
Immigration Bill at the end of last year that had millions allotted for High-Tech, and High-Speed, Fentanyl Scanners at the places where the VAST majority of the drug enters the u.S....i.e. Official Ports of Entry...in Semi-Trailers, of which tens of thousands enter each and every day.
As President for 4 years, he should know the facts about Fentanyl trafficking...so the kill that bill, IMO makes him complicit in all the deaths you noted.
Just one more example...as if it were needed...of why we must never again put a Malignant Narcissist, like Donald Trump in any position of responsibility...and certainly not the Presidency...but then, you don't really care, as you've previously posted.

Not true, bill would have done nothing.
Now HR 2 on the other hand would have.
how's that work, does the fent force itself on the kids or is it the consequence of risky behavior?

As the father of two teenagers and a realist, I don't expect that they'll avoid all risks.

No just the ones that are well known to kill you.

To be clear, I don't think drug users *deserve* to die, but
they deserve it a *little* more than kids who get shot for being at school
Right, but I'm guessing you didn't know the fent numbers were that high
Because it doesn't seem like anyone is actually trying to do anything about it. And the media doesn't seem to care about it.
Similarly, why is the media spending so much time, still, on Matthew Perry's death?
brother I live in Ohio and have EMS family members, I know all about it
all they do is narcan people all day long. sometimes the same people twice in the same day
Especially when the threat of fentanyl and its use is soo well known. It’s still a tragedy, but as
you point out there is a degree of personal responsibility not present with the school shooting victim.
Jimbasil how many handles do you have?
