Looking at a more granular level using the last 12 years of shooting victims, the pattern remains the same. The running 12 month average of shooting victims is the mirror image of the PA prison population

Obviously, prison population alone does not dictate violence in Philadelphia, but many of the other variables - esp. progressive policy choices or organizational failures - drive the falling incarceration levels. For example…

Investigative police stops plummeted in early 2020 (pre-pandrmic), and remain less than ¼ of 2019 numbers Krasner's deliberate de-prosecution of crimes he alone deems unserious, coupled with the DAO's incompetence, are keeping criminals *out* of prison (detailed ad nauseum)

One of Philadelphia's top decarceral activists is mayoral candidate @HelenGymPHL . Helen has stood proudly with Krasner, and called for emptying the prisons even further. Make no mistake, if elected, her top priority will not be real public safety

The consequences of these progressive policies, and failures, are detailed regularly by @FeatStinky , @MarkFusetti , @PhillyCrimeUpd , and many others. Sources:

@FeatStinky @DA_LarryKrasner Jesus. It's remarkable that he can get away with this over and over

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner What can we do because no one in power is doing anything besides gaslighting and lying.. the oversight boards don't hold anyone accountable.. what are the options?? It's frustrating.

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner Interesting, but now do Red America.

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner Best evidence against Krasner I’ve seen. He needs to go

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner One Big Lie and they knew it! The Social Experiment is a Complete Failing Disaster! All thanks to @DA_LarryKrasner , @CMThomasPHL , @KendraPHL , @CouncilmemberJG , @HelenGymPHL , @RebeccaRhynhart , @AmandaforPhilly ! Failed Miserably!

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner The Violent Repeat Offender Epidemic is the greatest threat to our city. They commit the overwhelming majority of daily shootings/violent crimes. The same in cities nationwide. Addicts, petty theft, minor traffic warrants, non violent, etc. should not be clogging jails. But..

@OverSaltPretzel @DA_LarryKrasner The Brother Malcolm X said "never believe their statistics also" the legalization of marijuana is the direct cause of this violence increase they are having drug wars although the statistics say it's not true ....reality speaks volumes.
