I love how Krasners biggest supporters are suburbanites who don't live here.

His failure to go after guns has directly fuelled the record setting amounts of homicide and shootings, not to mention his decision to not go after shoplifting, which has directly led to a dramatic increase retail theft.

Philly gun arrests are on a record pace, but convictions drop under DA Krasner

More than 70 lawyers hired by Philly DA Larry Krasner have left. Some say the office is in disarray.

He's great, always brightens my day. Haven't seen in a little while though guess I've just been missing his bus.

There's another driver on the 17 in the morning who's also great, she always greets all the early morning commuters with a cheerful good morning, and knows all the regulars. Also drives hard to stay on time and make connections.

We won't install them in most places in this city because they could damage the out of control car being driven by someone who's not paying attention, drunk, and or high; and who's about to plow over a person on the street and murder them.

Priorities are very clear from this city, and it's not people.

Sucks for that Temple student though can't say I'm surprised.

36 cars stolen a day is wild though. This really just highlights the lack of any plate reader technology in the city to go after these. In the future with built-in GPS tracking and remote shutdown commands being integrated in, I can't imagine this will be as much of an issue.

Rhynhart is the way, I don't think anyone else has the experience, the knowledge, or desire to fix the problems the city faces.

Sadly true democracy can't be achieved without an overhaul of the election system, until that happens the most likely outcome of any election for Philly is, whoever wins the democratic primary will win the office. So it behooves you to register for the time being to have a say on who will be elected to the city government.

We must all work together to push Rhynhart as hard as possible. She's the only candidate running who is both intelligent, lacks conflict of interest, and has the will to get the city government functioning again.

The candidate who wins will do so with a very slim amount of votes. I'm gonna beg here and ask you to re-join the democratic party to vote in the primary to get Rhynhart across the finish line.
