[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Philly has descended into complete anarchy under progressive city leadership, especially the far left DA Krasner who refuses to admit his stance on basically prosecuting almost nothing has contributed directly to the lawlessness that is pervasive in Philly.  There have been over 1,400 shootings and over 300+ murders in Philly this year, which are the highest numbers in the city's recorded history. It is a humanitarian crisis that progressive criminal justice has made far worse.  Absolutely shocking the number of shootings and murders.

As you can read in the headline: Philly is “awash in guns.”

More guns = more gun crime = more deaths.

It’s that simple. [/quote]

Is it really that simple?

Nothing to do with flailing attempts at progressive criminal justice reform, defunding the police, “compassionate alternatives to incarceration” and other related nonsense? At some point, whether it’s Cali, NY, dc or otherwise, once crime has reached a fever pitch a result of progressive policy, there will be an overcorrection to address the insanity. Obviously no one wants to be wrong. No one wants to admit their methods aren’t working, but realistically we are less safe with progressives and their soft on crime policies. I am socially liberal. I voted for Biden. I live in city. I am just tired of weakness. You’re making my neighborhood in Capitol Hill less safe. People like Charles Allen or Nadeau. It’s the same sht in Philadelphia. You get these new school city council people who have focus groups comprised of sociologists and dei consultants who want to fix the world by endlessly “studying the roots causes of poverty” while implementing “restorative justice” or hiring “violence interruptors” instead of just cracking down and stopping the violence. It’s so annoying we’re in this science experiment stage right now which is so clearly failing. People will get away with what they can and right now they know that with progressives in charge there is now limit to what they can do. Carjackings, puppy stealing at gun point, atv riding all over the streets, and then they’re released right back out without consequence. It’s absurd, and then voters vote for it all over again to look virtuous.[/quote]

See that's where you're wrong. Voters may do all kinds of things to seem virtuous - put out signs, post on FB, whatever - but there is privacy in the voting booth. People vote for who and what they want to vote for. In Philly, people have voted for Krasner - twice.

You have a voice. Use it to encourage your elected officials to do things how you want. Then vote for who you want. [/quote]
