Larry Krasner is losing the battle against homicide. Will voters even care?

We’re less than six weeks out from a district attorney’s election that will be seen nationally as a referendum on the progressive prosecution movement, and all seems eerily quiet. It’s a strangely low-key campaign at a time when we’re being ravaged by a historic murder and gun violence epidemic.

You know the chilling statistics. Philadelphia had 499 murders last year, the most in three decades. And it wasn’t because of the pandemic. The city’s murder rate has steadily risen in each year of both Jim Kenney’s mayoralty and the tenure of District Attorney Larry Krasner.

This year, though, we’ve jumped the shark. We’re on pace for over 600 murders—the most ever. An Inquirer story last week laid out some even more disturbing findings.

Soros toady Larry Krasner has figuratively put his knee on the neck of hundreds of POC but as long as white progressive get bike paths and dog parks will they care?

* Fun Fact - Of the last 165 cases where @PhillyPolice arrested ppl for Assault w/ a Gun, Larry Krasner has lost 140 of them.

Wouldn’t most of these murders be features not bugs for the progressive Fascists? Keeps the pot boiling for irrelevant gun control and funding of leftist social and community groups that are simply fronts for urban ballot harvesting.

Philadelphia is rapidly descending into “Baltimore Territory.” But then maybe HBO will do a series about the violence in Philadelphia and the elites at Philly Magazine and on the local TV Morning shows will have something to coo about.

Forget elections. Tar and feathers will do.

I believe the author, Larry Platt, used to have a radio show in the Philly market. If this is the same guy, he was a raging liberal. You know it must be bad when you catch flack from a raging liberal for not controlling crime

Also, didn't PBS in Philly just run a sympathetic "documentary" on Larry Krasner?

[I want the USA back]

Murder rates rose. Who is committing the murders? It sure ain’t Whitey killing non-Whitey!

[allendale]

Face it. America no longer has a reasonable social consensus of shared values to unite it. The Soros ilk control and dominate the lawless cities that are unlivable for decent, rational people. This lowlife Krasner will be reelected by the Soros ilk that dominates Philadelphia.

[Kid Shelleen]

YES and YES. Krasner is also notoriously corrupt. You may find this interesting. Krasner was busted for tampering with evidence to frame police.

I was just thinking of an important and interesting statistic that I have NEVER EVER seen posted before.

The number of violent crimes including murder committed by Whites on Blacks per year compared to the number committed by Blacks on Whites.

Anyone know?

[Sir_Humphrey]

WOW. Thanks for the link. I had no idea. I live between Philly and NYC and will definitely share this with my Philly friends

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

So I guess that when the homicide rate was lower, Philadelphia was “investing” more in preventative programs. Where did that money go?

[JonPreston]

As long as they are killing each other, so be it. And to the poor unfortunate people still living in Philly, that is your call.
