District Attorney and Progressive Hero Larry Krasner accused the NRA of last night’s mass shooting in Philadelphia:
“Last night’s terrible crimes on South Street tell our Pennsylvania lawmakers it’s time to take serious action. Boycott NRA lobbyists, boycott NRA donations, and bring common sense gun regulation to Pennsylvania. Now.”

Or it could, you know, enforce the laws that are already on the books:
How about enforcing the laws already on the books, absolute clown?

On March 31 last year, his hometown newspaper, the Investigator from Philadelphiaposted this article with the facts about what is * not * happening in Philadelphia, namely, it is not putting people behind bars:
DO YOUR WORK!
How about doing your job?
“Philly gun arrests are at a record pace, but convictions drop below DA Krasner”
“Police are ready to make 3,000 arrests this year for illegally carrying a gun, a record, but those accused are less likely to be convicted.”https://t.co/CSaHhO9k9g https://t.co/V6mrT5qxJh– Kerry Picket (@KerryPicket) June 5, 2022
So, what are the chances that the thugs who shot in a crowd last night are also “repeat offenders with firearms”?
Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said Philadelphia’s criminal justice system has become a “revolving door” for repeat offenders.https://t.co/00yEt9wz5b https://t.co/U4D4APnPJk

The NRA returned fire:
“Philadelphia has been inundated with crime for years due to your ineptitude and loyalty to your beneficiary, @George Soroswhich supports weak prosecutors who undertake not to prosecute violent criminals and to release them almost immediately while the police arrest these violent criminals. “

Hard, but fair:

– Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) December 7, 2021
“It takes a certain audacity of ignorance and white privilege to say this right now. On Monday evening, 521 people, souls, spirits were defeated, eliminated, killed in our City of Fraternal Love “
– Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) December 7, 2021
“As an older black man in West Philly, I know a lot of blacks aren’t actually against the police. We are alone against the police who brutalize us “
