VIDEO: Soros-Funded Philly DA Supports ‘Law-Abiding’ Looters
Soft-on-crime Philadelphia District Attorney Questions the Criminality of Violent Looters
Philadelphia’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, known for his lenient approach to crime, is now raising doubts about the criminal nature of violent looters caught on video. He stated, “We’ll carefully examine whether these individuals are fundamentally law-abiding citizens in a one-off situation, and hold them accountable accordingly, or if they are indeed criminals.”
Late last month, a series of looting incidents overwhelmed the Philadelphia Police Department, pushing their resources to the limit, as reported by Fox 29. These incidents occurred amidst an unprecedented surge in crime under Krasner’s leadership.
Krasner, who received substantial funding from left-wing megadonor George Soros in 2017, campaigned as a progressive prosecutor committed to reforming Philadelphia’s criminal justice system. During the 2020 George Floyd riots, he even advocated for defunding the police in favor of more effective alternatives. However, since then, the city has experienced a shocking increase in murders, reaching levels not seen in decades. The Washington Free Beacon reported that over 500 Philadelphians lost their lives last year.
Last year, the Pennsylvania legislature attempted to impeach Krasner, accusing him of failing to prosecute violent offenders, withholding crucial information in cases, and violating the rights of victims, according to the Free Beacon. However, the impeachment proceedings were halted by a Democratic judge’s intervention.
While Krasner recently expressed his determination to vigorously prosecute a motorcyclist who vandalized a car, captured on camera, he remains committed to his “criminal justice reform” agenda. He emphasized the importance of treating all individuals equally under the law, criticizing any judge who believes in a caste system where some receive preferential treatment.
How does Larry Krasner’s lenient approach to crime undermine public safety and the enforcement of the law?
Adelphia region in the wake of protests sparked by the tragic death of George Floyd. Numerous stores were vandalized, with looters brazenly stealing merchandise. The looting was captured on video and widely shared across various platforms, leaving many Philadelphians outraged and calling for justice.
However, instead of unequivocally condemning these criminal acts, District Attorney Larry Krasner appeared to cast doubt on the criminality of the violent looters. His statement, questioning whether they are “fundamentally law-abiding citizens in a one-off situation” or actual criminals, raises serious concerns about his commitment to upholding the rule of law.
As the district attorney, Krasner has a duty to ensure that justice is served and that those who break the law face appropriate consequences. By questioning the criminal nature of the looters, he not only disregards the overwhelming evidence captured on video, but also undermines the public’s trust in the criminal justice system.
One of the cornerstones of any functioning society is the belief that justice will be served and that individuals who commit crimes will be held accountable for their actions. When a district attorney questions the criminality of such blatant acts of wrongdoing, it sends a troubling message to both the criminals and the law-abiding citizens of Philadelphia.
Moreover, Krasner’s lenient approach to crime is not new. Throughout his tenure as district attorney, he has been known for his progressive policies aimed at reducing mass incarceration and implementing alternative forms of justice. While these goals may be commendable in some cases, they should not come at the expense of public safety and the enforcement of the law.
It is important to acknowledge the underlying issues that contribute to crime, such as poverty and systemic injustice, and work towards comprehensive solutions. However, this should not be used as an excuse to downplay or dismiss criminal behavior. The law must be upheld, and individuals who engage in violent looting must face the consequences for their actions.
The citizens of Philadelphia deserve a district attorney who will uphold the law without compromise, ensuring that justice is served and communities are kept safe. It is imperative that Krasner reevaluates his approach and reaffirms his commitment to prosecuting those who commit crimes, rather than casting doubt on their criminality.
In conclusion, Larry Krasner’s questioning of the criminal nature of violent looters caught on video is deeply concerning. As the district attorney, he has a responsibility to uphold the law and ensure that justice is served. By raising doubts about the criminality of these individuals, he undermines the public’s trust in the criminal justice system and sends a troubling message to both criminals and law-abiding citizens. It is essential that Krasner reexamines his approach and reaffirms his commitment to enforcing the law and holding individuals accountable for their actions. Only then can Philadelphia residents feel confident that justice will be served and their communities will be kept safe.
