Without the tools, we've allowed drug dealers to become serial killers. When you think about it that way, that's some truth.
Imagine losing a child to something as preventable as drug poisoning. That's the heartbreaking reality for Matt Capelouto, whose daughter Alexandra fell victim to a counterfeit pill laced with fentanyl. In this powerful episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Matt to discuss his journey from grief to activism. Alexandra, a student at Arizona State University, was just trying to cope with the pressures of college life when she was tragically poisoned during Christmas break.
Matt is on a mission to ensure no other family has to endure the same pain. He argues that the alarming rise in fentanyl-related deaths should be seen as a national security threat. This isn't just about overdose; it's about poisoning. Matt's advocacy work includes pushing for 'Alexandra's Law', which aims to treat drug dealers like serial offenders, similar to DUI laws in California.
A first offense would result in a warning, but if another offense leads to death, it would be treated as murder. Brock and Matt dive deep into the impact of fentanyl on families and communities, emphasizing the need for thorough law enforcement investigations. They also explore the broader issue of addiction and the devastating role drug dealers play in this crisis.
Through their candid conversation, listeners gain insight into how they can contribute to this fight and why it's crucial to treat every fentanyl death as a homicide. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action. If you're passionate about making a difference, this discussion will leave you both moved and motivated.
