The whole Krasner thing was a political stunt from the beginning but Krasner deserves a lot of the criticism he gets on a few topics.

The most glaring one is his office’s ineffective efforts to both effectively prosecute and form partnerships around illegal firearm crimes including possession.

I would love to see him go to a community event in Kensington or SW Philly and explain his positions on gun crimes in areas with a lot of gun-related violence including homicides.

Krasner may have some truth that going after illegal gun possession in a city full of illegal firearms won’t reduce actual gun crimes but that’s a tough sell to average voters and especially residents in areas with a lot of gun violence which is notably up since 2019.

Sends a bad message and sets a bad perception as well.

A lot of people he hired too have left and there are a lot of complaints he expects too much & created a dour & unpleasant culture.
