#4 If your drugs are cut with fentanyl, you should be charged with premeditated murder. No one buys cocaine to get a barbiturate opiate high. If you are doing lines, you probably been drinking - and drinking and fentanyl do not mix. Dealers should know this and should be charged accordingly.

#9 Do drugs and die... I hope a lot more of this class of people die because everyone knows the laws are for the control of the plebeians!

#10 Both Ortega and Rainey have since pleaded not guilty to causing the three deaths and distributing drugs, and are awaiting trial
