Democratic Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon is CARJACKED at gunpoint by two armed men in Philadelphia after woke DA insisted there's no 'crisis of lawlessness' despite soaring crime: Fellow Illinois Democrat Kimberly Lightford also carjacked the previous day

Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon was the victim of a carjacking in Philadelphia's FDR Park on Wednesday afternoon.

She had her car, purse, wallet and phone stolen but was not injured, her office confirmed.

Scanlon, 62, was walking to her parked vehicle and was approached by two men driving a dark-colored SUV, WPVI reported.

They demanded her keys and then fled in her 2017 Acura MDX with license plate LKG-8893.

The crime comes one day after Illinois State Senator Kimberly Lightford, 53, and her husband, Eric McKennie, were also carjacked on Tuesday night in a suburb 20 minutes outside of Chicago.

The brazen attack also came after Philadelphia's woke District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claimed there is not a 'crisis of lawlessness' - despite robberies skyrocketing by 27 per cent since 2020 and murders breaking an all-time record this year.

Two more Dems getting what they voted for, good and hard. They're the ones who wanted these "easy on crooks" DAs. What did they think would happen?

p.s. Was it white supremacists???

The article is from the dailymail.UK. I wonder if any propaganda media in the US even mentioned these two legislators being carjacked. I’m going to avoid cities headed by leftist Dem mayors

Another masochistic Democrat has the honor of being mugged and robbed. Enhances her reputation in the lunatic party. She will also receive the Seth Rogen medal( third class) for her service to the progressive cause. Second class medals are given to those who are badly maimed. First class Seth Rogen awards are reserved for those who were killed. Cops are not allowed to receive awards but social workers and teachers are eligible.

The cupid stunt in Illinois was driving a Mercedes SUV, in Broadview, a noted "upscale" suburb. One might wonder where THAT came from.

There hasn't been a "white supremacist" there for 70 years.

Broadview looks to be a modest, working class, solidly brick-built suburb. It’s over 70% black.

This a view of the block where the Broadview incident took place:

The blocks to the east & west look pleasant too. The block to the north in Maywood looks to be modest working class.

Inconceivable! It isn’t a carjacking when party handing over the car keys consented to the transaction.

It looks like FDR Park is just west of some major sports stadiums.

There looks to be a public housing project not far north of FDR Park.
