No stopping this killer tsunami?

The heroin laced with fentanyl drug dealing is rampant in Marion County, Harrison County, my Ohio county of Summit County and throughout America.
People, many of them young, are dying every day from this new scourge.

Fairmont’s Taylor Syslo, 23, seems to be the poster woman dealer for this outrage. She was arrested in July for heroin charges in Harrison County. Before she could even come to trial for that, Syslo was arrested again Thursday for selling heroin laced with fentanyl that killed one of the two people who overdosed.

Syslo’s fatal sale was near the Shop N’ Save on Fairmont Avenue on Wednesday.
Finally, she is in the North Central Regional Jail in lieu of $750,000 bond. Syslo is charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance and one count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Police arrested Syslo Thursday at an apartment on Walnut Avenue, where they found an additional 71 stamps of heroin behind a wood-framed picture on the living room wall along with $100.
Walnut Avenue is where my Austrian-Italian born maternal grandparents had a well-kept home with the obligatory grape arbor for winemaking in the back yard, which sloped toward a ravine.
When I visited Walnut Avenue a decade ago, I was appalled by how rundown the once-clean and inviting neighborhood had become.
Drug dealers completed the decay of the area, I guess.
What’s the solution? Apparently, society hasn’t found one … yet.
