The revolt against woke DAs hits Philly’s Larry Krasner

Hallelujah: The Pennsylvania state House of Representative has impeached woke Philly DA Larry Krasner. Krasner still faces a trial in the Senate, but the impeachment itself is an important blow struck for public safety.

It s also one more sign of rising anger across the nation over prosecutors who don t even pretend to want to fight crime. 

Philly is in the midst of a crime crisis. It had 499 murders in 2020, 562 homicides in 2021 a grim record and 2022 is on pace to be even worse. The ugly numbers represent a staggering 57% increase over the same period pre-pandemic.  

Krasner s soft-on-crime policies are the driving force. Murders have gone up every year Krasner has been in office. Other offenses like shootings and carjackings are also skyrocketing. He s gone so far as to create a special unit to make sure that 18- to 25-year-old offenders (i.e. one of the main age groups committing crimes) will get lenient treatment, not prison or other criminal punishments. 

Krasner s responded to the impeachment effort with the standard lefty retort: The move shows how far toward fascism the Republican Party is creeping.
