You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Has lenient treatment really done the bad guys any favors?

We have previously reported on the mass shooting in the Gray’s Ferry section of the City of Brotherly Love, and now The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported an arrest in the case.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Irreconcilable differences

We have previously reported on Will Thomas, the male swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, who decided that he was really a woman, started calling himself “Lia”, and went on to compete on Penn’s women’s swim team. A 6’3″ tall man male, ranked 462nd, he quickly became number one in women’s swimming. Why, it’s almost as though there are real physical differences between males and females, differences which make a difference in sports and physical activities.

There are many, many things which made something of a difference in the campaign between former President Donald Trump and then-Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, and one of the issues hammered on by our then-former President was the far-left’s insistence that ‘transgender’ women, like Mr Thomas, really are women. Mr Trump won the election, and has been putting his policies into place.

To the surprise of no one, The Philadelphia Inquirer again endorses softer-than-Charmin-on-crime Larry Krasner Virtually nothing they wrote has to do with actual crime on the city's streets

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 →

The left want to control language; don’t let them!

We have previously noted how the left attempt to use control of language to control the argument. The Associated Press Stylebook, which is used by many, though certainly not all, credentialed media sources, specifies language which reinforces the notion that a person can define his ‘gender’ as something different from his biological sex, and that such choices can, should, and must be accepted by society as real. The First Street Journal maintains its own Stylebook, and we do not go along with the silliness of the AP.

The Philadelphia Inquirer either uses the AP Stylebook, or maintains its own policies to identify the ‘transgendered’ by the gender they claim to be rather than their actual sex, but reporter Susan Snyder decided to go one step further, and hammer down on the feminine pronouns, just to make sure the reader got it.

Once more, the Philly Inquirer goes all-in to support transgenderism Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal has the ability to distinguish between males and females of their own species, but apparently human liberals have 'educated' that right out of themselves.

We have referred to America’s third-oldest continuously-published daily newspaper as The Philadelphia Enquirer, as RedState writer Mike Miller mistakenly referred to it, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I sometimes think of it as very apt. The newspaper, the past winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, has gone all-in on promoting the ‘transgender’ agenda, and once again they’ve published a sob story about a mentally-ill boy who thinks he’s a girl.
