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?

Philly tells federal court the Trump administration can’t force it to collaborate with ICE

Attorneys for city officials asked a federal judge to toss out the Department of Justice’s challenge to a city ordinance that prohibits city agencies and employees from honoring immigration detainers.

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:

Will Bunch believes that yes, some people should be above the law District Attorney Larry Krasner thinks the same way

We have previously noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far left columnist Will Bunch and his adamant support for the rule of law.

Mr Bunch even wrote that he did not “like” President Biden’s final flurry of pardons “at all,” though he claimed that “they were understandable” to protect critics of then-incoming President Trump. Clearly, Mr Bunch believed the Democrats mantra of “no one is above the law,” used when they were trying to throw Mr Trump in prison.

But now? It seems that he doesn’t like the enforcement of our laws even one little bit!

Is any murder sentence fair if the killer can get out of jail while his victim is still dead?

We first noted Zaakir McClendon in August of 2025, when he was finally arrested for the 2022 murder of Nicolas Elizalde and 2023 murder of Nafis Betrand-Hill. I had to use the mugshot of young Mr McClendon, tweeted by Steve Keeley, because the newspaper declined to publish it. The neck tattoo means automatically guilty. It’s a bit hard to read, but it appears to be “NIMB” or “NLMB”, the first of which could possibly be a bad abbreviation for “numbskull.”

We understand: The Philadelphia Inquirer doesn’t like to publish photos of accused criminals, because to do so might prejudice the cases against them, and such photos might follow an acquitted man many years into the future. But what about when the accused criminal is actually convicted?

At 17, he killed a 14-year-old outside Roxborough High — and then killed again. He faces decades in prison.

Zaakir McClendon, 21, was sentenced Friday for his role in killing Nicolas Elizalde, 14, and Nafis Betrand-Hill, 16.

Kentucky is not a sanctuary state! But if candy Andy Beshear had his way, we probably would be.

While we continually see the so-called “sanctuary” cities and counties trying to frustrate federal enforcement of our immigration laws, at least parts of Kentucky are doing their jobs! And while the Lexington Herald-Leader’s editorial orientation is toward the left of the political spectrum, reporter Beth Musgrave’s article is politically neutral.

Dear Lexington gang-bangers: imitating Killadelphia isn’t a good idea.

Did I jinx the city of Lexington? The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Saturday afternoon that:

(This) was the third weekend in a row for fatal shootings in Lexington, after six months when no homicides were reported.

I noted, on August 14th:

Lexington, Kentucky, current population 329,791, has seen four murders so far in 2026. Philly has 4.77 times Lexington’s population, but 27 times as many murders.

I’d like to think that the gang-bangers in Lexington didn’t take what I wrote as a personal challenge! Continue reading →

The problem isn’t mass incarceration; the problem is that not enough criminals are incarcerated, for not a long enough time.

This site reported, in August of 2021, on the arrest of Brandon Dockery for the murder of Raymar Webb. Held in the Fayette County Detention Center, he has finally gone on trial.

Defendant apologizes for deadly Lexington shooting during his murder trial

By Taylor Six | Monday, August 24, 2026 | 1:00 PM EDT

The man charged with killing a Lexington father in a downtown parking lot testified at his own trial Monday, expressing remorse and saying the shooting was a “stain on him that will never go away.”

That won’t go away for Raymar Webb, either, because he’s been stone-cold graveyard dead for over five years now. Continue reading →

Could Daniel Pearson be a conservative? His politics are straight Democrat, but every once in a while he expresses conservative sentiments which are in line with civilized behavior

I have thrice speculated that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and sometime editorial writer Daniel Pearson might be a conservative. He really isn’t, but for a liberal, and especially someone on the staff of the Inky, he is not only willing to interact with people with whom he disagrees, unlike Will Bunch, but actually supports conservative ideas on occasion. The newspaper has frequently supported the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, but on this occasion he has dared to criticize Larry Krasner:

On Oct. 26, 2023, Bernard Gribbin became the first city transit operator to die by gunfire while on the job. Family members called him “the best of the best,” and described the 48-year-old Army veteran as a man who loved Philadelphia, who proudly took out-of-town relatives on tours of the city when they came to visit, and who served the public by working as a bus operator — a demanding, underpaid, and utterly essential job.
