"What's happening in our community is the direct result of electing corrupt far left leaders," Darren Mark Stallcup said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Wednesday. "They have placed profits over the families of our community and fentanyl is destroying everything and everyone in its path."
Stallcup said fentanyl is not like "alcohol, cannabis or cocaine," but rather a far more pernicious substance.

Stallcup, founder of "The World Peace Movement," is an active voice on the detrimental impact of fentanyl in communities, and his mission has become personal. He said his cousin Scottie recently died as a result of fentanyl.

And unfortunately, thousands of people of all colors, creeds and religions have overdosed and died from fentanyl in San Francisco between the years 2019 and 2023," he said.
The activist explained how confrontations like the one he had in Walgreens with a drug-addled thief are not uncommon, and altercations with fentanyl addicts have even taken place at his home.

"My apartment has been broken into three plus times in the last year," he said. "I've had to fight off burglars with my own two bare hands because I'm unable to legally utilize my Second Amendment right to defend myself, my home or my property."
