They provide security at a festival near me... But I assumed that wasn't their only source of income.

Interesting security operation, they basically use their terrifying reputation as their cudgel. Although there was one fight that broke out and they lived up to their reputation. Dude came flying up out of nowhere on an ATV and jumped off it while it was still moving to punch tackle a guy.

Facts won't stand in the way of the conservative regime.

Lmao yeah. isn't it that most fent gets into the country through legal ports of entry?

Facts are inconvenient to their stated mission.

It's literally impossible to transport tons of fentanyl over the border without legal avenues.

For politicians, you don’t need facts, you only need boogeymen. The excuse doesn’t even need to be true. DC crime is too high: send the military to DC. 1 of 1000 shooters is (maybe) trans: put all trans people in prison.

Survivor bias?

Only US citizens are dumb enough to get caught?

I was under the impression the US was a net EXPORTER of fentanyl and guns.
