---SNIP--- And while the bullets were flying, what was the district attorney of Philadelphia up to? The city official most responsible for the local gun violence epidemic was choking up, and feigning tears at a press conference while lying through his teeth.

Our hands are tied. All we can do is watch the carnage, and keep our powder dry.
The people of Philly will vote Dem no matter what. Heck, even if they didn’t, the Dem disease is so embedded in Philly that the Dems would just steal any election that didn’t go their way.
Rational,decent people realize that urban America is unlivable.

Smokin' Joe Frazier, the city's most famous boxer, may have died on Nov. 7, 2011. But he still lives on at the polls.
In 2018, according to city records, the former heavyweight champ voted in the general election in his adopted hometown.
Krasner Strikes Again! Accused Dog Walker’s Killer Was Twice-Convicted Robber Arrested Again For Carjacking & Assault
By Ralph Cipriano , JANUARY 17, 2021

Two weeks before he allegedly murdered a dog walker in Brewerytown, Josephus Davis, 20, a two-time convicted robber, was sitting in jail.
Why? Because he’d been arrested two more times, for an alleged carjacking, as well as for an aggravated assault allegedly committed while Davis was still in jail.
But on Dec. 29, 2020, Davis caught a couple of breaks. His bail in the carjacking case had already been reduced from $100,000 to $20,000, so Davis only had to post 10%, or $2,000, to get out of jail.
And his bail in the aggravated assault case was also reduced, from $200,000 to $12,000, so Davis only had to post a 10% deposit of $1,200. So on Dec. 29, 2020, Davis’s relatives only had to put up a total of $3,200 to spring Davis.
On Jan. 13th, just 15 days after he gained his freedom, Davis allegedly committed another robbery, only this one turned deadly. At 7 p.m., Milan Loncar was walking his dog Roo at 31st and Jefferson Streets, a block from his home in Brewerytown, when Davis and another suspect allegedly held him up.
The incident was caught on camera in a blurry black and white surveillance video. Davis, according to police sources, was the robber in the video who stood in front of a taller Loncar; the other suspect stood behind Loncar as they went through the victim’s pockets.
Davis allegedly held a gun to Loncar’s midsection. In the video, Loncar made a sudden move with his hand, apparently trying to push the gun away from him. Davis reacted by backing up and raising his gun to Loncar’s chest, and a muzzle flash went off. The suspects fled on foot.
Loncar, 25, a recent Temple University graduate, took out his cell phone and sat on the ground as he appeared to be trying to summon help. Then he stood up, staggered backward, and collapsed supine on the ground. Roo, his pet dog, a mixed breed of dachshund and chihuahua, ran to Loncar’s side, and didn’t leave.
Thirty minutes later, Loncar was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital. It was a preventable tragedy; Davus should have never been out on the street.
Krasner Strikes Again: Man In U Haul With Human Torso Was Registered Sex Offender, Accused Burglar Let Out Of Jail On No Bail
By Ralph Cipriano FEBRUARY 12, 2021

The man riding around town yesterday in a U-Haul with a dismembered human torso in back is a registered sex offender with a long rap sheet featuring more than a dozen arrests.
Taray Herring, 47, of Northeast Philadelphia, who confessed to police that he hacked up the victim’s body but claimed he didn’t kill anybody, was most recently let out of jail last June on a burglary rap, after a judge decided Herring didn’t have to post any bail.
On May 9, 2020, Herring’s bail for the burglary case had been set at $10,000 monetary, meaning he would have to post $1,000 to get out of jail. But on June 9, 2020, after the public defender filed a motion on Herring’s behalf to modify his bail, Judge James DeLeon decided that instead of $10,000 monetary bail, he would set Herring’s bail at $10,000 unsecured.
That meant that Herring didn’t have to post a cent to get out of jail. And where was the D.A’s office on that request? Standing up to protect the public? Nope. “By agreement of the Commonwealth,” court records say, with a pandemic on, the D.A.’s office went along with the public defender’s motion to spring Herring, so he wouldn’t come down with COVID.
District Attorney Larry Krasner and Jane Roh, his spokesperson, did not respond to a request for comment.
Krasner and Roh also declined to explain why, a year before the burglary arrest, in 2019, the D.A.’s office gave Herring lenient treatment. They let him plead guilty to a misdemeanor and granted him probation in a plea bargain for stealing a car, when the D.A. could have put prosecuted Herring on felony charges, and kept him in jail.
In both 2019 and 2020, Herring was accused of violating his parole, with both the stolen car arrest and the burglary arrest. But both times the D.A.’s office gave Herring a pass and let him back out on the street.
Last June, the D.A.’s office did one more favor for Herring: they asked a judge to waive a detainer filed by the county Probation Department against Herring that would have kept him in jail without bail until a hearing on the probation violation would have been held.
That’s why criminals call our D.A. “Uncle Larry,” because he’s their best friend.
At 9 .m. yesterday, police got a call about a burglary in progress involving a U-Haul truck parked outside a house at 1011 Sanibel Street in the Somerton section of the city. When the cops arrived at the scene, they observed a U-Haul truck with Arizona license plates traveling south of Kelvin Avenue.
“The vehicle pulled over, and as soon as the officers got out of the car the driver of the U-Haul just came right out the door and said, ‘I don’t want anything to do with this,’ and ‘There’s a body in the back,’” Sgt. Eric Gripp told 6ABC.
Officers searched the back of the van and found a trash bag with a dismembered human torso inside.
Herring, along with the driver, David Kirby, 43, didn’t attempt to escape and both were taken into custody, Sgt. Gripp told 6ABC. A police source said that neither man has been charged, but that Herring confessed to having dismembered the victim’s body.
Last night, police found a human leg and a hand in a dumpster behind a nearby Wawa at Kelvin Street and Bustleton Avenue, 6ABC reported. Police said the body parts could have belonged to the same victim.
Sgt. Gripp told 6ABC that police had been summoned by a neighbor to check up on Peter Gerold, 70, a licensed massage therapist who operated out of his house on Sanibel Street. Neighbors told cops that Gerold was missing, and so were his cars.
Herring, after he was Mirandized, gave a voluntary statement where he claimed that he didn’t kill the victim, but he did dismember him. According to police, Herring told the cops that after he hacked up the victim with an electric saw and a hacksaw, he deep fried various body parts, wrapped them in plastic, and disposed of them in various dumpsters in the 10800 block of Proctor Road.
Kirby told the cops he was helping Herring dispose of trash from the house and claimed he was initially unaware that a human torso was in one of the trash bags. Police recovered other human remains from various dumpsters and transported them to the Medical Examiner’s office.
Police recovered blood swabs, a knife, and burnt clothing from the burglarized home. In the U-Haul, in addition to the human torso, the cops found numerous bloody saws, a pair of gloves and kitchen utensils.
Herring, according to the cops, is a registered sex offender who lived in an apartment at 600 Red Lion Road. He’s described as a 5-foot-7, 160 pound black male who’s bald and has a tattoo on his chest.
On May 8, 2020, Herring was arrested and charged with burglary, criminal trespass that resulted in bodily injury, theft, receiving stolen property, and criminal mischief. A month later, he got out of jail without having to post bail.
Since Herring got out of jail, the preliminary hearing in his case was canceled twice, and continued twice. The most recent continuance was on Jan. 6th, after a request was made by Herring’s lawyer.
Herring has a busy rap sheet which in recent years shows some favorable treatment from the D.A.’s office under Larry Krasner.
One of Herring’s early arrests was in 1993, when he was found guilty of defiant trespass, aggravated assault and possessing instruments of crime. He was sentenced to 18 to 36 months in jail, and a minimum of three years probation.
In 2000, Herring pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, indecent assault and possession of instruments of crime, and was sentenced to 5 to 10 years in jail.
In 2012, he pleaded guilty to harassment and simple assault, and got one to two years in jail and up to two years probation in allegations that involved four different victims. A charge of indecent assault was withdrawn.
A knowledgable source said that Herring was accused of riding down Broad Street on a bicycle and grabbing several women’s butts.
In 2013, he was found guilty of harassment, and indecent assault, and was sentenced to a minimum of 9 to 18 months in jail on the indecent assault charge.
On Jan. 10, 2019, while he was still on probation, Herring was arrested for stealing a car. He was charged with theft, and receiving stolen property, two third-degree felonies, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a second-degree misdemeanor.
But in a plea bargain arranged by the generous D.A.’s office, the two felony charges were dropped, and Herring pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
He was put on probation for a maximum of 18 months. He also got no further penalty for violating his probation.
Herring was still on probation for the stolen car on May 8, 2020, when he was arrested for burglary. But once again, the D.A. went easy on Herring, by not prosecuting him for violating parole.
A month later, Herring was let out of jail without having to post any bail. Herring also got a couple of more breaks from the D.A.’s office.
On June 10, 2020, the county Probation Department filed an arrest warrant for Herring alleging that the burglary arrest had violated Herring’s parole.
On June 15, 2020, the Probation Department also filed a detainer against Herring alleging a parole violation because of Herring’s burglary arrest. The detainer would have kept Herring in jail without bail until a hearing on the probation violation was held.
But the D.A.’s office told the judge to lift the detainer and Herring was free to continue his criminal career.
D.A. Covers Up Wall Memorializing Cops Killed In Line Of Duty
By Ralph Cipriano FEBRUARY 19, 2021
https://www.bigtrial.net/2021/02/da-covers-up-wall-memorializing-cops.html
In a move that’s sure to offend every cop in the city, District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office has covered up a “Wall of Remembrance” that features a couple dozen plaques honoring hero cops who died in the line of duty.
The Wall of Remembrance is located on the mezzanine level inside the Ray Harley Conference Room at the D.A.’s office at 3 S. Penn Square.
“A disgrace,” said one cop. “Here’s what Krasner thinks of cops who have died in the line of duty,” texted another cop.
In the photo, the wall is covered with a backdrop that bears the repeated images of the DAO logo of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
We already knew that Larry Krasner hates cops. When he was a defense lawyer, he sued the police department 75 times. At his victory party, the crowd chanted “Fuck the FOP.”
But this move is over the top.
FOP President John McNesby was outraged.
“He [Krasner] has been pissing on cops his whole career,” McNesby wrote in an email. “This is a whole different situation when you smear the memories of those that gave their lives protecting the community in the line of duty.”
“Those in the Law Enforcement community sadly know what kind of person he is,” McNesby said. “More of a reason to move him out of that position.”
The FOP has endorsed Carlos Vega for D.A., Krasner’s opponent in the May 18th Democratic primary.
As he has done for the past 19 months when fielding questions from Big Trial, Krasner didn’t respond to a request for comment. Neither did Jane Roh, his alleged spokesperson.
While Krasner and Roh were stonewalling Big Trial, Roh tried to deflect the controversy on Twitter, after Mike Neilon, a spokesman for the FOP, Roh wrote that covering up the wall was “shameful” and a “disgrace” that amounted to “disrespecting our @PhillyPolice heroes killed in the line of duty.”
“Mike, you well know that the emergency of the pandemic has required different spaces in this city to be used for specialized purposes,” Roh wrote on Twitter. Roh was seemingly implying that the conference room was used to convene a grand jury.
“We are legally required to cover the Wall of Remembrance when this room is used for certain purposes,” Roh tweeted. “*We* follow the law.”
On Twitter, McNesby’s response to Roh’s explanation: “I call bullshit.”
Others who worked at the D.A.’s office said that grand juries typically are convened in neutral sites, such as city-owned offices around the city, and not in the D.A.’s office.
Others speculated that if Krasner is using the Ray Harley conference room to convene a grand jury, he may be planning to indict more cops.
When Krasner’s fans chanted “Fuck the FOP” at his victory party back in 2017, he was rebuked by then U.S. Attorney William McSwain.
“There is a new culture of disrespect for law enforcement in this city that is promoted and championed by District Attorney Larry Krasner – and I am fed up with it,” McSwain said. “This vile rhetoric puts our police in danger. It disgraces the Office of the District Attorney. And it harms the good people in the City of Philadelphia and rewards the wicked.”
Sadly, the sentiment expressed in that chant is shared by some of Krasner’s own employees. During the George Floyd riots, an assistant district attorney posted on Instagram, “FUCK THE COPS.”
Since he took office, Krasner has eagerly indicted cops, whether he had the evidence or not. Such as the fraudulent case he filed against former staff Inspector Joe Bologna that a judge recently threw out of court.
During the George Floyd protests, Krasner dropped the charges against protesters who got arrested for assaulting officers. Protesters such as Evan Gorski, the Temple student that Bologna allegedly struck in the head with a metal baton, allegedly causing a wound that required 10 staples and 10 sutures to close.
The only problem -— video of the incident, broken down frame by frame in the courtroom, clearly showed that Bologna never struck Gorski in the head; instead, his baton struck a backpack, on Gorski’s left shoulder, which according to department guidelines, was an acceptable use of force.
The video also clearly showed that Gorski didn’t have a drop of blood on his head or any other part of his body. But the video clearly showed that Gorski interfered with officers, and was clearly seen stealing Bologna’s baton and throwing it away. While a friend of Gorski’s was using a squirt bottle to soak Bologna with a liquid that cops said was urine.
There’s at least 40 Philadelphia police officers who are assigned to work in the D.A.’s office. One of those cops was livid when he saw the photo of the covered up Wall of Remembrance.
“Fuck him. That’s blatant disrespect,” the cop said about Krasner.
“How could a Philadelphia police officer walk into that building with his or her head held up high when the D.A. has covered up the faces of their brothers and sisters killed in the line of duty,” said another cop.
Krasner not only has no respect for cops killed in the line of duty, the cop said, but he also has no respect for the families of those dead cops, who are crime victims.
More than 200 Philadelphia police officers have been killed in the line of duty. The current Wall of Remembrance was installed when Lynne Abraham was D.A., to honor recently fallen officers. Former D.A. Seth Williams added more plaques to that wall. But Larry Krasner covered it up.
Carlos Vega, a former homicide prosecutor who’s running against Krasner for the Democratic nomination in the May 18th primary, said he couldn’t believe what happened to the Wall of Remembrance.
“I have walked past that wall daily in my years in the office and was so grateful for their service,” Vega said of the cops who were killed in the line of duty. “I knew seven of these heroes personally,” Vega said. “They talked about their families and their dreams when they retired. I can’t comprehend how those men and women who laid down their lives for our city could be dishonored this way.”
Tonight, cops were calling on Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw to pull all the cops who work for the D.A. out of that office as a protest.
That, however, seemed to be too radical a position for the timid and low-profile Outlaw to take. After all, she’s the one who keeps touting a recent collaboration she’s struck up with the D.A.’s office that has assistant district attorneys assigned to various police districts, in an alleged attempt to bolster crimefighting.
Outlaw’s the one who repeatedly tells people that you won’t hear her attacking the D.A. in public. Even though the murder rate is soaring, and the D.A. keeps adding to the carnage by letting armed and dangerous criminals out of jail.
Three recent examples:
— Taray Herring, the registered sex offender with more than a dozen arrests on his rap sheet, who confessed to hacking and dismembering the body of a 70-year-old man who was murdered in the Somerton section of the city. Herring was able to commit this atrocity after he received a get-out-jail-free card from his Uncle Larry.
— Adriano Coriano, the abusive ex-husband who shot and killed his ex-wife Gladys while Krasner’s office sat for six days on a request from the cops to sign off on an arrest warrant that would have put the ex-husband in jail, for repeatedly violating a protection order.
— Josephus Davis, a two-time convicted burglar who had two new arrests pending against him, for an alleged carjacking and an alleged aggravated assault. But at two bail hearings, Krasner’s rookie prosecutors laid down and Davis walked. Two weeks later, Davis shot and killed a man who was out walking his dog.
Any one of these outrages might spur a police commissioner with some moxie to call a press conference in front of the D.A.’s office and blast Krasner. But not our Outlaw.
Accordingly, a spokesman for the police department last night wasn’t talking about the Wall of Remembrance, and anything Police Commissioner Outlaw might be willing to do about it to defend the honor of fallen cops, who died in the line of duty.
Instead, the police spokesperson referred all comment to D.A. Krasner, who was busy disrespecting the memory of fallen police officers, and dispatching misinformation to reporters.
Look at the YouTube videos of Kensington in Philadelphia...Disgusting...
I want the cities in which the 2020 election was stolen (for PA, MI, AZ, WI, GA) to see 300 murders per day until they are empty.
“...he deep fried various body parts, wrapped them in plastic...”
Huh?
The city of brotherly love.

Krasner: Absolute a-hole leftwing Soros sellout disgrace.
So when we see democrat corruption and commie filth, we should just give up? That’s your message?
How about gang members? Give up to them too?
And school board members who want to teach commie enslavement sh*t to our kids? Just ‘give up’ and accept ‘nothing can be done’?
Gimme a break.
“Gimme a break.”
I’ve been onboard with trying to get Republicans elected because they are “on our side”. Aside from President Trump, that hasn’t worked very well.
The beauty of a representative republic is the people can have input deciding the direction of the country. The educational system was taken by the left. Now, the people want communism. They are going to get it, good and hard.
