In the wake of last month’s recall vote ousting San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin from office, left-wing prosecutors in Democrat-run cities from Los Angeles to Philadelphia are facing growing backlash for soft-on-crime policies as violent crime spikes devastate local communities.
Many of these progressive prosecutors are funded by left-wing megadonor George Soros, who has spent the last several years injecting tens of millions of dollars into local DA races nationwide, backing candidates who support policies such as abolishing bail, defunding the police, and decriminalizing or deprioritizing certain offenses.
One such Soros-backed prosecutor currently under fire is Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.
Last week, the Pennsylvania state House formed a bipartisan committee to investigate a crime spree in Philadelphia. The committee will be allowed to subpoena witnesses and documents from Krasner’s office and can make evidence-based recommendations up to the impeachment of Krasner.
Pennsylvania doesn’t have recall elections.
Under Krasner, the number of murders in Philadelphia soared from 353 in 2018 to 562 in 2021, the deadliest year in the city’s history.
This year, homicide totals are tracking closely with last year’s record-breaking figure. Additionally, violent crime in Philadelphia has risen by 8% and property crime has risen by 30%, compared to 2021, according to crime data from the Philadelphia Police Department reviewed by the Epoch Times. more here

Obama and Biden’s boss.
The little failed experiments are coming to an end and all involved are gonna feel Karma’s rage.
Yeah, L.A. and S.F. citizens are all upset – except they KNEW exactly what they were voting for. Maybe they didn’t expect it to reach their neighborhood, maybe they expected rainbow sherbet to come out of the unicorn’s ass, but it sure was clear to me, before the elections.
And they will vote for an equivalent replacement.
Eventually the exodus of citizens and businesses out of these democrat run shit hole cities will change the political tide. It’s just a matter of pain tolerance.
