The massive looting sprees and violence against both pedestrians and police in Philadephia have been too much for even the legacy media to ignore. Retail stores, state liquor distributors, and pharmacies have been utterly destroyed and emptied of anything that can be sold on the black market, while the city’s understaffed law enforcement units struggle to bring down at least a few of the gangsters. But to their credit, they have managed to make at least some arrests. So what will happen to these violent vandals? That remains an open question, apparently. The city’s infamous District Attorney, Larry Krasner, was asked about it yesterday. He appears to be taking a “wait and see” approach, insisting that the criminals will have to be dealt with in “an even-handed way.” (Fox News)

Progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who has been accused of being soft on crime, assured reporters in recent days that he will investigate the people involved in widespread looting of the city in an “even-handed way.”

Krasner, who was impeached by Pennsylvanian Republicans last year for policies they alleged exacerbated crime in the city, claimed that he will weigh whether those arrested in connection to the looting have been “fundamentally law-abiding people” throughout their lives despite their antics over the weekend.

Krasner made his comments at a pre-planned crime summit at St. Joseph’s University on Saturday following last week’s crime spree where crowds broke into multiple Philadelphia stores, stealing products and destroying property.

This is pretty shocking, even by Krasner’s below-basement-level standards. The world has been watching what’s been going on in Philadelphia, but the Soros-funded District Attorney wants to check and see if all of those looters might just be “fundamentally law-abiding people” who were just getting up to some “antics.” Take a quick look at this video that was recorded the other night. Do these look like fundamentally law-abiding people to you?

Some liberals are already complaining that the police tackled some of the looters and one was seen being punched in the head by a cop. But that looter had already physically assaulted the police as well as one pedestrian on the sidewalk. Complain all you like, but this is yet another example of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.

The police even managed to arrest Dayjiaa Blackwell, a social media “influencer” who goes by the handle “Meatball” on Instagram. She was seen laughing and giggling as the looting took place and reportedly used her platform to direct other people where to go so they could participate in the crime spree. Even if she didn’t personally steal anything herself or break any doors or windows, just organizing people online to commit crimes is itself a crime worthy of significant prison time, or so we have been assured by the DOJ’s prosecutors of J6 defendants.

Blackwell was taken to jail but was almost immediately bailed out by her mother. (There was no indication given as to whether or not there was a father available to comment.) She’s acting as if the experience has seriously impacted her. She spoke to reporters and told them that she “never wants to go back to jail again.” Of course, it might be a bit late for that, but only if the city seeks to press charges.

As with most things these days, the sort of punishment you receive depends largely on whether or not you are a member of a politically favored group. In the case of Philadelphia in particular, it also depends on who is making the decisions regarding whether or not you should even be prosecuted. Larry Krasner’s only goal since taking office has been to empty the jails, no matter how many more crimes his beneficiaries go on to commit. And “Meatball” clearly doesn’t look like any sort of Mega-MAGA champion, so she will likely be classified as one of those “fundamentally law-abiding people” by Krasner.

Krasner was impeached by a wide margin in the State House of Representatives last November. But the shameless liberal refused to resign and a commonwealth court later tossed many of the charges against him. After Democrats retook the state house this year, they basically abandoned the charges, leaving the taxpayers with a bill of more than three million dollars for legal costs associated with the impeachment. Some Republicans are still trying to move forward with the charges, but for the time being there doesn’t seem to be any justice in Philadelphia. And the public is paying the price for that, as we’re seeing on a nightly basis in the City of Brotherly Love.

Here’s some local news coverage of “Meatball” including a picture of her shedding what are probably crocodile tears in her mugshot, attempting to garner some public sympathy. She will no doubt be receiving that from Larry Krasner.
