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.”

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.

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 →

Yet another goon shoots police officers in Philly. ** Updated **

What are the odds that the shooter already has a long rap sheet, and has been given every break possible by the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District, Larry Krasner?

As we have previously reported, even when the city began programs to clean up and improve West Philadelphia, the locals rebelled, afraid that a nicer neighborhood would encourage more white people to move there. But, not to worry, things like this might keep them out:

Two police officers shot in West Philadelphia

You in a heap o’ trouble, mom and dad! So much stupidity involved in this case.

We have previously noted the murder of William “Billy” Schmidt over pure stupidity, a street theft of a cell phone. It took the Philadelphia Police a few weeks to identify the killers, but once they were, one of them fled the state. The alleged killers are minors, but now the parents of one of them are in trouble:

Parents accused of driving teen charged in Penn State student’s killing to Colorado ordered to stand trial

The judge’s ruling came after prosecutors presented evidence on how they allegedly helped their son evade capture following the June killing of William “Billy” Schmidt.

Killadelphia Yeah, the murder rate is lower now, but it's still high

We previously noted the killing of 78-year-old Steve Alexander, killed by what reporters Ellie Rushing and Jesse Bunch called a “stray bullet” as four men jumped out of an SUV and fired more than fifty rounds “toward a group of young men on the sidewalk.” The Philadelphia Inquirer has been very careful not to call it a gang hit, at least in the articles I have seen so far, but they have at least stated that the 30-year-old victim, previously referred to as being 31-years old, was the actual target.

Over 50 rounds fired, three people struck, only one killed, and he wasn’t even the target, but just collateral damage. Gang-bangers are deadly, but still notoriously bad shots.

On August 10th, the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, said, after six homicides the previous weekend, “We had a bad weekend. We’re not having a bad year.”

Well, the bad weekends are continuing: Continue reading →

Journalism differences between the Lexington Herald-Leader and Philadelphia Inquirer. ** Updated! ** When a poor newspaper outclasses a wealthy one

The First Street Journal has twice reported on the mass shooting in Charles Young Park in Lexington, Kentucky. We also noted the murder of a 78-year-old man in North Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon.

But there’s a significant difference in coverage between two newspapers to which we subscribe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Lexington Herald-Leader. The Lexington newspaper is, to put it frankly, dying. Staff have been cut, there have been three General Managers in just a few years, and the paper, which once covered most of eastern and southeastern Kentucky, is a mere shadow if its former self, almost entirely restricted to Lexington now, and print publishing only thrice a week.

Killadelphia Four shooters, over fifty rounds fired, sounds like a gang hit to me!

We noted, just a few days ago, that there had been 108 murders in the City of Brotherly Love, through Sunday, August 9th. The city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, following that weekend in which six people were murdered, said:

We had a bad weekend. We’re not having a bad year.

I contrasted Philly’s murder rate with that of Lexington, Kentucky, which, when I wrote, had four homicides all year, noting that Philly was 4.77 times Lexington’s size but has 27 times as many killings. Then Lexington had its fifth murder, as we reported here and here.

Well, it looks like Philly didn’t want to be left behind!

Killadelphia Yes, homicides are down, but that doesn't mean things are good

Our Killadelphia posts have decreased in frequency since the bad old days of 2021 and 2022, and naturally the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claims that his policies are working, but it’s never a surprise when one killing leads to another in the City of Brotherly Love.

Shooting of Philly couple was likely retribution for earlier killing, sources say

Police are seeking Shariff Perry, 35, in connection with the fatal shooting on Sunday in Strawberry Mansion.
