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
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.
Germantown mom wants out of Philly after ICE deported her husband to Belize
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.
For a Democrat, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s chief editorial board writer Daniel Pearson is one of the not-so-bad guys. He’s actually a (mostly) moderate guy who wants to see the laws enforced, though perhaps less so when it comes to our immigration laws and serious criminal laws in general; you can’t endorse the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police hating District Attorney Larry Krasner and be too serious about law enforcement!
But, a commuter using the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, SEPTA, himself, he sure wants to see a crackdown on the turnstile jumpers and fare evaders! I guess that’s something.
SEPTA’s fare evasion crackdown is no joke. Ask the more than 3,200 people criminally charged this year.
SEPTA says far too many Philadelphians aren’t paying to ride the transit system. It costs the agency about $50 million yearly in lost revenue.
Miles Pfeffer after being apprehended, with a “What the f(ornicate) did I do?” look on his face.
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away. — Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen/
Young Miles Pfeffer, a privileged punk kid and previously adjudicated delinquent who had been ‘sentenced’ to a whopping one month of probation, decided to go into Philadelphia for some harmless fun, jacking cars and petty theft. No big deal, right, just some harmless teenaged fun, right? After all, he was still a senior in high school, and what high school kid hasn’t gotten into a little trouble, right?

Well, perhaps, just perhaps, kids in the Philly region really are more likely to be bad kids.
Teen charged with murder in death of Norristown man allegedly linked to a gang feud
Kaleem Naseer Roland is accused of gunning down Tahaj Andru “Pooh” Harrison on May 23. Two other suspects are being sought.

Normally my crime articles go under the heading “You in a heap o’ trouble, boy,” or sometimes “girl,” in homage to that iconic southern expression, but, alas!, Mr Stephen Jones, formerly Democratic Leader of Philadelphia’s 59th Ward, is in far less of a heap o’ trouble than he should be for his offense.
I guess that he has friends in high places!
Philly ward leader convicted of sexually assaulting his granddaughter is sentenced to about a month in jail
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, because it was the District Attorney who had not kept Cpl. O’Connor’s killer in jail when he could have.
I wrote, on May Day, that I would be “completely unsurprised if The Philadelphia Inquirer in general, and far-left columnist Will Bunch individually endorse(d)” the city’s George Soros-sponsored, police-hating and criminal-loving District Attorney, Larry Krasner, for re-nomination. Well, I am completely unsurprised! Continue reading
Our nation’s public school teachers are supposed to be intelligent and reasonably well educated. They are required to have baccalaureate degrees, and the vast majority of systems require teachers to obtain their master’s within about five years or so. Oddly enough, when I went to high school, back in the days of inkwells and quill pens, we had exactly one teacher who had his masters, yet I’d argue that we emerged from high school far better educated than what our public schools are producing today.
So, the obvious question is: why are so many of them so boneheadedly stupid?
Conestoga High School teacher facing 63 charges for allegedly having sex with student
Michelle Mercogliano, a special education teacher at Conestoga High School, was charged by the Tredyffrin Township police.
As Leroy Jethro Gibbs once said, on NCIS, when he was ‘questioning’ some young college kids, he “will not do well in prison.”
I have to admit, when I first saw this tweet from Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News, my first thought was, “This guy had to go after underaged girls?”
U.S. Marshals capture Pa. man accused of sexually assaulting underage girl in NJ
Shane Hennesy, 22, of Delaware County, Pa., is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Pine Hill, New Jersey
