Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
My website has twice noted the case of Derek Lee, convicted of second degree murder for the killing of Leonard Butler in Pittsburgh. Under Title 18 §2502(b), second degree murder is defined to be “A criminal homicide constitutes murder of the second degree when it is committed while defendant was engaged as a principal or …
My good friend Daniel Pearson — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but even though he’s mostly liberal, he’s a common sense and decent kind of guy, the kind of guy you’d be happy with whom to sit down and drink a cup of Wawa coffee — an editorial writer and columnist with The …
Well, of course. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat of course, opposes capital punishment, as do I, but the Governor of the Keystone State does not have arbitrary power to issue pardons or sentence commutations on his own. The most Mr Shapiro could do, as his predecessor Tom Wolf did before him, was to decline …
If a criminal-loving, police-hating prosecutor lets a rapist go, and he then rapes another woman, how can we hold that ‘prosecutor’ accountable? One would have thought that Abdimahat Bille Mohamed would have been in a heap o’ trouble when he was arrested on charges of having raped a child and sexually assaulted another woman in …
You know, I get it: some of our good friends on the left really, really think that the people who came to the United States seeking a better life are, at heart, good people, who should be allowed to stay in the United States and contribute to our culture, society, and economy. But even if …
In the wake of the roughly 300 layoffs at The Washington Post, there has been a lot of blame spread, both among the subscribers who quit over owner Jeff Bezos refusing to endorse Kamala Harris Emhoff in 2024, and the paper itself for it’s very liberal leanings. The Post managed to piss off both the …
No, Adrian Gonzales, pictured to the right, is not your typical criminal. Rather, he was the police officer stationed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde County, Texas, who channeled Scot Peterson, the coward of Broward, and chose not to confront the shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers during the shootings. Trial begins for …
Sadly, my usual title for these articles, “You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!” doesn’t really apply to Deonte Demarcus Carter, because he’s in far less trouble than he should be for killing two men. Mother says she was failed by KY courts after man gets 10 years in 2 killings By Taylor Six | …
The First Street Journal has previously reported on Kimbrady Carriker, the fine young gentleman who murdered five people in the City of Brotherly Love. Now, 2½ years later, we finally have a conviction in the case, and Mr Carriker actually might not spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. Man who killed five …
Another victory for the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating Philadelphia District Attorney, Larry Krasner! Mr Krasner just loves to put Philadelphia Police Officers in jail, and to release bad guys who are in prison. Homicide detective Philip Nordo was clearly a bad cop, as The Philadelphia Inquirer reported: A former Philadelphia homicide detective was arrested …
I saw this tweet earlier, but decided to wait to write about it, waiting for The Philadelphia Inquirer, for which I am paying to subscribe, to have more. Sadly, the Inky didn’t have all that much more: Police are investigating the death of a Philadelphia firefighter as homicide The 56-year-old man was found dead in …
I’ve used this headline several times before, but it always seems appropriate. I will admit to some surprise, because my source, The Philadelphia Inquirer, told us more than they might have.
On August 22nd, shortly after 23-year-old (white) Iryna sat down, a 34-year-old career criminal, a violent (black) felon took out his knife and stabbed her in the neck three times from his seat behind her. Of course, she bled out, dying on the train.
