Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has long been to the law what Philly fans are to football: they are simply willing to do things that others will not do. While Philly fans are known for taking their demonstrations to shocking levels, Krasner has long denounced adversaries as Nazis and pledged to arrest federal immigration officials.
However, a federal judge has finally had enough of the anger and antics that have long been the special brand of Philadelphia’s top prosecutor.
For full disclosure, Krasner and I went to college together at the University of Chicago in the same class in the 1980s. Since then, we have debated and disagreed on fundamental legal and ethical principles.
Krasner has long worked as a second public defender for the city, running on his work to reduce the prosecution and incarceration of accused felons. He has portrayed the criminal justice system as racist and oppressive. At the same time, he has held chest-pounding press conferences pledging to arrest FBI agents and to “hunt down” ICE officers.
His theatrics have delighted his political base and the far left. The George Soros-funded prosecutor actually adopted a campaign slogan of “F— around and find out”: in 2025. He was not referring to the criminals victimizing the city, but to federal officers seeking to enforce the law.
Even liberal Democratic judges have had enough.
Last June, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court hit Krasner with a scathing opinion finding a pattern of misleading and mendacious filings by his office to undermine the criminal cases of murderers and other convicts.
The rebuke prompted a signature response from Krasner. Citing the Juneteenth anniversary, Krasner accused the Court of attacking “the value of a vote in Philadelphia” and defending his staff as merely furthering the work of racial justice.

How do the voters feel?
Lock up soros for attempting to bribe a public official.
In Philadelphia? As long as he is on the Democrat ticket, he’ll be re-elected. The morons in Philly don’t know and don’t care that this guy is a commie bastard.
Yes, Democrats
As long as the criminals they set loose after a slap on the wrist or probation + time served are someone else's problem, liberal DAs and judges won't give a damn.
After a half dozen presidents were afraid to touch Soroznazi — leaving him free to wreck his havoc on America and much of the rest of the world, the very same miserable saga continues.
I wonder how many New Yorkers live there?.
They don’t need any New Yorkers. The people in Philly are stupid all on their own.
Racial justice ???....while whites,Asians and Latinos get slaughtered by career black animals..
Jonathan Turley went to University of Chicago? That is so cool. I often wondered where he got some of his more creative understandings of the strangeness. I lived in Hyde Park in the early 60’s - it’s an education...
Krasner is not long away from a federal B&B.
Gen Zers are fleeing NYC faster than any other US metro — flocking to a city just 90 miles away (Philadelphia)

Isn't that a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Philadelphia's crime rate is much higher than NYCs, creeping into Baltimore-level territory.
