the Toronto Danforth shooter's brother was arrested last september with 43kg of carfentanil. carfentanil is a potent synthetic opioid that is 10,000-100,000x stronger than morphine.
the LD50 of carfentanil is ~12mcg.
43kg of carfentanil is enough to kill ~3,583,333,333 people at least, almost half of the world's entire population.
the accused was already facing 337 gun charges when police responded to a carbon monoxide alarm call at his apartment in Pickering.
please disregard the 420,000 number listed in the article as this is false
>337 gun charges >43 kg of Carfentanil Why in the absolute fuck was that guy out on bail?

Was he out on bail? I don't think so. I thought he got caught because he OD'd and the cops showed up at his place and found everything and he was in a coma. Could be wrong though
William Evans
reminder that these superopioids are purchased from china for a small fraction of the cost of importing heroin and these compounds are 10s to 100s of thousands more potent. the article states that he was "previously arrested" for 337 gun charges, but doesn't state that he was convicted. this leads me to believe he was out on bail for the firearms related charges when this happened.

Wonder if police decided not to investigate this as a potential terror cell as it would be considered racist.
>Before being discovered by drug dealers, carfentanil and substances like it were viewed as chemical weapons. Assistant Secretary of Defence for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defence Programmes between 2009 and 2014 described the drug as a “weapon”, adding “companies shouldn't be just sending it to anybody”.
Bit of a misconception, the brother wasnt the one caught with it, the brother OD'd himself into a coma shortly before the seizure of the drugs I think. The drugs and 30 guns found belonged to the guy that he was rooming with, and also somebody that the courts deemed was able to be the brother's surety since he was facing firearms charges or something. So while you weren't 100% correct, it still hits way too close to just be a coincidence. The shooter's family is absolutely in some shady shit for sure.
