The argument escalated, and both men pulled out guns on each other. The younger canvasser fatally shot the older man, who was not employed by Gym&#8217;s campaign. <\/p>\n<h3>Gym&#8217;s Campaign and Policies<\/h3>\n<p>If elected, Gym is expected to advance the policies of District Attorney Larry Krasner, a soft-on-crime activist who has received millions of dollars from left-wing megadonor George Soros. Gym&#8217;s website states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-judiciary-chairman-says-gun-control-is-top-priority\/\" title=\"Senate Judiciary Chairman Says Gun Control Is \u2018Top Priority\u2019\">reducing gun violence<\/a> is a major campaign priority, and she plans to &#8220;reduce violence&#8221; and &#8220;get illegal guns off our streets.&#8221; However, Philadelphia is facing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tyson-foods-latest-large-business-to-flee-chicago-amid-crime-wave\/\" title=\"Tyson Foods Latest Large Business to Flee Chicago Amid Crime Wave\">unprecedented crime wave<\/a> under Krasner, with over 500 Philadelphians killed in 2021, a murder rate not seen in over 30 years. Krasner&#8217;s refusal to prosecute crimes he considers &#8220;low-level&#8221; has led to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/recidivism-rates-for-criminals-up-threefold-since-new-yorks-bail-reform-took-effect\/\" title=\"Recidivism Rates for Criminals Up Threefold Since New York's \"Bail Reform\" Took Effect\">high recidivism rates<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Background on the Shootout<\/h3>\n<p>The victim and the shooter knew each other and began arguing after they &#8220;happened upon each other&#8221; in the neighborhood. The shooter claimed he acted in self-defense. Both men were canvassing for OnePA, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-fatally-shoots-fellow-canvasser-for-anti-gun-philadelphia-democrat\/\" title=\"Man kills canvasser for anti-gun Democrat in Philadelphia.\">progressive group supporting left-wing candidates<\/a>. The guns used in the shootout appear to be legal, though the victim&#8217;s gun was not registered to him.<\/p>\n<h3>Impeachment Efforts Against Krasner<\/h3>\n<p>Last year, the Pennsylvania General Assembly attempted to impeach Krasner, citing his failure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-lawmakers-vote-to-impeach-phillys-soros-prosecutor\/\" title=\"Pennsylvania Lawmakers Vote To Impeach Philly\u2019s Soros Prosecutor\">prosecute violent offenders<\/a>, withholding relevant facts in cases, and violating victims&#8217; rights. However, the effort failed after a Democratic state judge intervened to dismiss the impeachment articles.<\/p>\n<h3>Takeaway<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Canvassers for a far-left Philadelphia mayoral candidate got into an argument and pulled guns on each other, resulting in one death.<\/li>\n<li>The candidate, Helen Gym, has pledged to reduce gun violence in the city, but Philadelphia is facing an unprecedented crime wave under District Attorney Larry Krasner.<\/li>\n<li>Last year, the Pennsylvania General Assembly attempted to impeach Krasner, but the effort failed after a Democratic state judge intervened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the mayoral race in Philadelphia, but it highlights the need for effective solutions to reduce gun violence and address the root causes of crime in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both men were canvassing for mayoral candidate Helen Gym, who&#8217;s been called &#8216;Philly&#8217;s AOC&#8217; Police tape blocks off a murder site in Philadelphia \/ Getty Images Canvassers for a far-left Philadelphia mayoral candidate who has pledged to crackdown on gun violence in the city pulled guns on each other and one of them died, according<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":162,"featured_media":1927448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[16067,26262,4912,3904,5522],"class_list":["post-1927447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-anti-gun","tag-canvasser","tag-democrat","tag-kills","tag-philadelphia"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1927448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
