Why do ‘progressives’ want to protect criminals?

I can at least understand people who want to help illegal immigrants who have not broken any non-immigration-related laws, but who on God’s earth would want to protect the criminals? Well, apparently the Democrats do! From the New York Post, with a hat tip to William Teach:

NYC’s sanctuary DAs ordered prosecutors to downgrade charges to keep illegal immigrants in US, House GOP report finds

By Josh Christenson and Thomas English | Monday, October 26, 2026 | 6:55 PM EDT

WASHINGTON — New York City’s elected Democratic district attorneys are bending over backwards to keep illegal immigrants in the US, instructing prosecutors to downgrade charges to those considered “a non-deportable offense,” according to a stunning House Judiciary Committee report shared with The Post.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

James Huff, mugshot by Fayette County Detention Center, and is a public record.

The mugshot of James Huff, 41, is the latest from the Fayette County Detention Center, but the website shows four previous mugshots for this fine gentleman. Apparently Mr Huff has a problem staying out of trouble.

A woman sustained what police said was a life-threatening injury in a shooting off Pimlico Parkway Friday afternoon.

Lt. Ross Collins, of the Lexington Police Department, said a suspect was detained in Jessamine County.

Later Friday night, the Lexington police announced the arrest of the suspect, James Huff, 41, who was charged with first-degree assault — domestic violence, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Continue reading →

Shane Seiber isn’t the first Philly cop killed directly due to Larry Krasner’s policies James O'Connor IV was killed in 2020 by a known criminal Mr Krasner treated leniently

We have previously noted the shooting of two Philadelphia police officers, one of whom, officer Shane Seiber, died from his wounds.

The apprehended suspect, Eric Lewis, had a previous criminal record, but all misdemeanors, which did not prohibit from owning a firearm. Then came the later news: Mr Lewis had previously been charged with murder, but was acquitted, and the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, was quick to blame the Philadelphia Police Department for the failed prosecution.

Philly police commissioner blasts DA Krasner, calls comments over alleged cop killer’s past acquittal ‘unacceptable’

Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said the public finger-pointing in the aftermath of Officer Shane Seiber’s death was “absolutely unacceptable.”

That thing that never happens has happened again

We have been saying this for a while now, and it seems that every passing day reaffirms the truth of it: if a person is, in the characterization by Colonel Batguano in Dr Strangelove, a “deviated prevert” in one thing, the probabilities that he will be a pervert in something else are very high.

Woman accused of sexually abusing minor during North Fort Myers house showing

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. — Deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman accused of inappropriately touching an underage victim during a house showing.

Note that the Gulf Coast News referred to the suspect as a woman, and uses the feminine pronouns in reference to him further down in the story, but the suspect, one Uriel Santiago Perez, is actually male, and is so listed in the police report. Continue reading →

Killadelphia I would be shocked if Larry Krasner sought the death penalty for a cop-killer

My Philadelphia friends are going to be upset, but it seems that cop-killer Eric Lewis is already setting the stage for a reduced charge of third-degree murder or even manslaughter. From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

How a brief conversation on a West Philadelphia porch left one officer dead, and another seriously wounded

Eric Lewis has been charged with the murder of Officer Shane Seiber, and the attempted murder of 10 other police officers.

by Jillian Kramer, Ellie Rushing, Jesse Bunch, and Brett Sholtis | Sunday, October 11, 2026 | 10:57 AM EDT | Updated: 6:02 PM EDT

Officer Shane Seiber was knocking on the door of a West Philadelphia home around 12:50 a.m. Saturday when Eric Lewis walked up from behind, demanding to know why police were on his porch, according to a law enforcement source.

Believe it or not, the newspaper actually included Mr Lewis mugshot in their article, though I used Philly Crime Update’s tweet on the story to post his current mugshot, to avoid any copyright issues. Continue reading →

This is what happens when you treat criminals leniently.

The details are still coming in, but this line, from Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing jumped out at me:

The convictions, including a felony illegal gun possession case in 2013, would have barred Lewis from owning a gun.

Surely, surely! even the dullest leftist advocating more gun control laws ought to be able to see that the gun control laws that are already on the books did not keep suspect Eric Lewis from having not one but two firearms, a handgun and a shotgun.

Well, that line is now gone, as Miss Rushing edited her report: Continue reading →

Philadelphians really hate law enforcement, at least when it comes to their favored groups Why would the honest people of Philly want to help keep criminals on the streets?

Is it really any surprise that the City of Brotherly Love, the good people thereof who have thrice elected the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating defense attorney Larry Krasner to be the chief criminal prosecutor just don’t like the laws being enforced?

The editors of The Philadelphia Inquirer believe that illegal immigrants should be above the law

The Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer have always been concerned with legality, at least as far as it concerns Donald Trump. They were late to the table to ‘question’ whether the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, should remain in office due to his legal problems. But now it seems that they support law-breakers:

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Was justice delayed the reason that 19-year-old Chance Martin is stone-cold graveyard dead?

The First Street Journal recently reported on the case of now-convicted murderer Brandon Dockery. Mr Dockery murdered Raymar Webb in August of 2021, was arrested quickly, but actually brought to trial only in August of 2026. That’s five years later, all to mount a pathetic defense — Mr Dockery admitted that he killed his victim — that no competent jury would ever accept. But at least Mr Dockery was behind bars for those five long years, and not out on the streets to commit more crimes.

Which brings me to this case:
