Tucker Carlson talks through a recent report on Philadelphia’s surging crime rates that can be found here: https://www.axios.com/local/philadelphia/2022/09/20/philadelphia-homicide-violent-crime
Philadelphia is on pace to eclipse last year’s homicide record.
“…crime in Philadelphia is completely out of control. For example, last year, Philadelphia recorded 562 murders. That is the highest homicide total since 1960. That happens to be the year the city started tracking homicide data. This year in Philadelphia crimes like robbery with a gun are up 47%. Now, why is this happening? It's not an accident. None of this is an accident. Crime is rising as a direct result of policies designed to make crime rise.”
Crime With A Purpose
“…any effort by normal people middle-class people to defend themselves is immediately met with the full ferocity of the state… to destroy the American middle class, let's just be honest about it. This is crime with a purpose. They don't want to have this conversation the people who did this, and that's why they attack you personally and morally if you bring it up.”
Who Should Take Blame For Philadelphia’s Crime Spike?
“So in Philadelphia, a lot of these crimes can be traced to one man's sorrows back da Larry Krasner has ‘decided not to charge many robbers with crimes, arrests and charges for retail theft in Philadelphia have dropped by about 70%. Over the past four years, in that same period, reports of robberies jumped more than 20%. You see how this works. If you stop charging people with certain crimes, they commit more of them.’”
Larry Krasner became District Attorney (DA) for Philadelphia in January 2018 — since then, homicides in Philadelphia have spiked with a staggering 60% increase under Krasner’s watch as DA. What he’s doing is not working to stop crime. It’s doing the opposite—increasing crime.
