The Hassan Elliot case finally comes to a close The scumbag cop-killer is sentenced to 75 years in federal prison

Philadelphia Police Officers and FOP members block District Attorney Larry Krasner from entering the hospital to meet with slain Police Corporal James O’Connor’s family.

We have previously reported on the murder of Philadelphia Police Corporal James O’Connor IV by Hassan Elliot, a career criminal even by the age of 21, who could have been behind bars at the time but the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, who was just renominated by the Democrats for a third term letting criminals loose, let him slide on probation violations which could have kept him behind bars when he was already in custody.

On Friday, March 13, 2020, Corporal O’Connor and other members of the SWAT team were trying to arrest Mr Elliot, then 21, and Khalif Sears, 18, for a murder and robbery the previous March, when Mr Elliot started firing through the door.

Of course, the city’s police officers knew all about Let ’em Loose Larry, and blocked his attempt to visit Cpl O’Connor’s family at the hospital. They were not going to allow him to make a show of sympathy for an officer that his policies had gotten killed.

Well, now the case has come to closure: Continue reading

The journolism of The Philadelphia Inquirer

We previously reported on how The Philadelphia Inquirer told readers about yet another two murder suspects being caught on surveillance cameras but not yet arrested, yet, despite the newspaper having the suspect’s photo available and publicizing the Philadelphia Police Department’s call for help from the general public, the newspaper declined to publish the photos of the suspects, to possibly help in their apprehension.

Cue Britney Spears and “Oops, I did it again”: Continue reading

Poor, poor Larry Krasner is tearfully upset that he couldn’t lock up another cop for longer

Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, recently renominated for a third term, as the city’s chief prosecutor, is just spittle-flecking angry that he cannot keep a former Philadelphia Police Officer in jail any longer, and, of course, the denizens at The Philadelphia Inquirer have been outraged all along. Columnist Helan Ubiñas waxed wroth when the charges against former Officer Mark Dial were initially dismissed, because Mr Krasner’s minions didn’t do their jobs properly. The Inquirer’s long-time columnist, Helen Uniñas, waxed wroth that the charges were dismissed, calling it a “welcome and rare reminder that police are not above the law when Officer Mark Dial’s bail was revoked” last week, to jail him before trial, and yesterday was pissed because “prosecutors apparently did not present evidence that (Officer Dial) had committed a crime.” Shouldn’t her ire be reserved for the District Attorney and his minions, who failed to “present evidence that he had committed a crime”? Does Miss Ubiñas believe that all criminals should be held behind before bars before they are tried and convicted? How else can one interpret that revocation of bail was a “welcome and rare reminder that police are not above the law”?

The District Attorney was able to get the charges reinstated, but not the First Degree Murder charge he wanted. In Pennsylvania, a defendant can be held without bail is the charge carries a potential term of life imprisonment. The DA refiled on Title 18 §2502, “Murder generally,” but Third Degree Murder usually does not result in a life sentence. Mr Krasner still wanted Mr Dial kept in jail before he was tried and convicted of anything, and succeeded to the tune of ten months behind bars.

Killadelphia: Why won’t The Philadelphia Inquirer report the news we need?

We reported on Tuesday evening that Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News posted the photos released by the Philadelphia Police Department of two of the suspects in the mass shooting on the 1500 block of Etting Street at 4:38 PM EDT. We also pointed out that The Philadelphia Inquirer, a newspaper which has earned twenty Pulitzer Prizes and is the supposed newspaper of record for the metropolitan area, had no story at all on the information released by the police.

Finally, almost a day later, the newspaper covered the story:

Police seek public’s help identifying two suspects in Grays Ferry shooting that left 3 dead, 9 injured

As many as six people are suspected to have opened fire in the shooting at Grays Ferry over the Fourth of July weekend, police said.

by Rodrigo Torrejón | Wednesday, July 16, 2025 | 3:05 PM EDT

Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying two people who they say opened fire in a shooting at a block party in Grays Ferry earlier this month that left three people dead and nine injured. Continue reading

Killadelphia: Crime is down, or so we are told

Normally I’d have used Steve Keeley’s original post on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏, the worst rebranding in history — but Lloyd Christmas’ response was so great that I had to use it.

I assume, of course, that Mr Christmas was engaging in satire. I don’t know him at all, and there are probably some on the left who would seriously take that position!

There will be some on the left, including Elizabeth Hughes, the publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer, who would see Mr Christmas’ tweet as absolutely serious reasoning, and who decided, a few years ago, that the newspaper would be an “anti-racist news organization,” ordering limitations on the Inky’s crime coverage, and who seems to have mandated that the newspaper not publish mugshots or photographs of criminals, unless, of course, the accused are white police officers.

A search of the newspaper’s website for “Etting Street,” where the murders took place, at 9:15 PM EDT turned up several stories on the shootings, all of which were dated more than a week ago, but nothing on the Philadelphia Police releasing photos of one of the suspects, nothing to help readers who might recognize the suspects, to help the police get them off the streets.

Larry Krasner beclowns himself Once again, his spittle-flecked hatred for Republicans comes to the fore

Oddly enough, I couldn’t find anything in The Philadelphia Inquirer on this story, despite paying $5.49 per week for my digital subscription. But not to worry, several other news organizations carried it:

After January 6th pardons, DA Larry Krasner looks to state charges

Another Philly illegal immigration sob story (Part 2)

This is my morning coffee as I write this!

There is an amusing quality to the fact that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Jenice Armstrong has been writing a series she called “Blaxit,” about black Americans who have chosen to emigrate to various locations in Africa, is now lamenting that an illegal immigrant and previously convicted criminal has been deported to his native country.

Steeliness has replaced grief in Charlene Maddox Chimilio. The 43-year-old Philly native has come to terms with the fact that the best place for her family might be outside the city she loves so much.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right

Our good friends on the left cheered when the Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling, in Lozano v City of Hazleton, that only the federal government has any power over immigration, invalidating a Hazleton, Pennsylvania ordinance which prohibited landlords from leasing to immigrants who could not prove their legal status.

Why do the left always root for the bad guys? When the left tell you who they are, believe them!

We have previously asked why the left always root for the bad guys, pointing out that “heroes” like Michael Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin were all bad guys, and noting how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist wants another bad guy, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, someone even he admitted is an “undocumented immigrant (who) was no angel.”

Now comes Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, one of the ‘squadristi‘, and she is just beside herself that the Trump Administration is deporting convicted criminals!

The Trump administration just dropped 8 immigrants — who they were previously holding in a shipping container in Djibouti — into war torn South Sudan.

Cruel. Inhumane. There aren’t words to describe how disgusting this is.

We’ll keep fighting.

My good friend William Teach reported on just what angels these eight deportees are, including this line:

They have been convicted of various crimes, with four of them convicted of murder, the Department of Homeland Security has said.

These are the guys for whom the distinguished gentlelady from Washington said, “We’ll keep fighting.”

When the left tell you who they are, believe them!
