But important to add that this depended on a former-AG Dem governor w presidential aspirations signing it into law to look “tough on crime.” Even tho, as I keep having to point out, the districts that vote for reformers have THE HIGHEST crime rates. VICTIMIZED communities vote FOR the reformers.

Passed by a wide margin in the Dem-controlled state house, too. The whole rest of state seems to be on board with trying to override Philadelphians' right to choose their own government, not just the Republicans.

Here is a map I made recently of Krasner v Vega in 2021. Green precincts voted for Krasner, red for Vega. Black dots? Gun data from the GVA. The pattern is clear: where gun violence is high, ppl voted for Krasner.

Map of 2021 Dem primary, showing the pattern discussed in the post.
