"Philadelphia, PA is on pace for its highest homicide total since 2007. We are approaching 900 shooting victims already this year," said City Council President Darrell Clarke (July 6, 2020). Yet, District Attorney Larry Krasner, proposed a more than $43 million budget, up 11% over his budget last year. He wants the residents who fear for their safety to pay MORE to support his utter failure. 

From the Philadelphia Tribune: "Council President Darrell Clarke, a Democrat, took Krasner to task for the rising homicide rate under the district attorney’s watch. The city has logged 174 homicides through Sunday, up 26% compared to this time in 2019, which was itself a record-setting year for homicides."

Krasner had a bunch of lame excuses, blaming police, blaming residents, blaming drugs, blaming everything except his own failed social experiment. He even blamed the pandemic.  

"But Clarke seemed unmoved by the district attorney’s responses and repeatedly interrupted Krasner’s testimony. 'The courts have been shut down for a pandemic. These [homicide] numbers have been going up over years,' Clarke said, adding, 'I want to know what you’re going to do.' "

It's time to get rid of Kranser. Send him packing. He's done enough damage to our city. We need to heal. He needs to go.
