Philly District Attorney - WARNING Do NOT Donate to Any Candidate in the Dem primary

[ArcticSplash]

Not that it shouldn't be obvious, but if any of y'all are getting hit up in e-mails with funding requests (because you got tagged by some Dem group) by any of the contenders for Philly District Attorney:


Rich Negrin - Board member of CeaseFirePA, he's totally against gun ownership in all forms. He has removed the mention of being on the board of CeaseFirePA from his twitter bio. This is the worst possible person to be in the office given his open disdain for legal firearms owners.
Larry Krasner - This man has never seen a guilty defendant in his life. He's endorsed by BLM. Also an anti-gun nut. His wife is a Common Pleas judge and I hear that she was yanked from the criminal docket because she had admonished ADAs before her, insisting that the word "victim" not be used and instead replaced with "complainant".
Tariq El-Shabazz - Has tax liens totaling near $200,000. He may be more amenable to legal ownership of firearms but his ethics problems assure everyone that he's going to divert a lot of his time with his many personal problems.
Michael Untermeyer - Has plenty of money and gave himself a $250K loan, he doesn't need donations.


The white Center City progs are tilting towards Krasner and they're attacking Tariq because they don't want the only black candidate to be a red herring to spoil their chances of getting a SJW do-nothing DA in the office.


The rest of the Dems in the race are pretty-much a joke and not getting much chatter. AFAIK none of the rest of the Dems have tried to make hay of demonizing legal firearms owners.


On the Republican side:

Beth Grossman - Endorsed by the Republican Party, Republican Women and she's a moderate. The FOP is withholding its endorsement until it sees who wins the Dem race. If it's El-Shabazz or Krasner they are 100% going to endorse Beth.

If anyone is interested in supporting her LMK and I'll field a firearms questionnaire over to her to answer.

We know who to support.

Grossman is pretty much a democrat who switches parties when it suits her needs.

Here's the thing...

No one sees an outer-county "Lebensraum program" that will suddenly repopulate Philadelphia with more conservative pro-2A people anytime in the future. The only way to rebuild Republicans in the city is to pick-off all the pro-business and conservative-minded Democrats in the city, and there actually a lot of them, and get them to "Drop the (Johnny) Doc."

This is going to become way more important in the next few months as the FBI investigation on Doc comes to a close and charges are then brought. The Democratic Party in Philly is quite likely to get overrun by the millennial far-left progressives if Doc is snared. That's gonna free up a lot of working-class Dems who are married to the party but don't believe in any of those principals. It's also going to generate candidates taking offices who are even more radically far-left than anything you've ever seen. California-style left.


The police union in Philly has nearly entirely flipped to Republican support. The Teamsters have had it with Johnny Doc and they might be leaving for R's thanks to the Soda Tax. The Firefighters Union is also not afraid to make Republican endorsements anymore after years of Michael Nutter F-ing them over. And in the poor neighborhoods in the city, DJT got a lot more support and performed better than Romney did.


Philadelphia itself the sentiment on firearms is split 50/50 on 2A while you'd like to believe the entire city is 100% antis. It's not really that way with the populace. The more liberals snatching offices the harder left they're gonna go on policy, though. The pro 2A people in the city are "stuck" with it and our only saving grace is the uniformity clause that makes all those BS codes they keep adding into he books void on passage.

If you wind up with Negrin as the DA then you'll have a dude who is on the board of CeaseFirePA as District Attorney. Grossman is far more pragmatic and a moderate. If I were facing a BS VUFA charge because of a cop who doesn't follow directives, I'd much rather have Grossman being the ADA's boss than Negrin. And you would, too.
