Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner, buoyed by substantial financial support from George Soros-affiliated political action committees (PACs), is facing backlash for his decision not to pursue charges against a pro-Palestinian protester accused of assaulting a police officer, as detailed by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
So you know those pro-hamas-terrorist students at Univ of Penn that were arrested?
Well here’s George Soros puppet Philly DA Larry Krasner explaining that they will only receive a (non-criminal) civil violation and be released.
Shocker, huh? 🤡pic.twitter.com/jMRefTh3mE

Krasner, who benefited from approximately $2 million in Soros-linked funding during his election campaigns, declined to prosecute four protesters arrested by University of Pennsylvania police for allegedly attempting to occupy a campus building. Despite allegations of assault on law enforcement, Krasner cited insufficient evidence provided by the police as grounds for his decision, expressing willingness to reassess if additional evidence emerged.
The absence of “crucial video evidence and other forms of corroboration” regarding the alleged assault complicated the evaluation, Krasner argued, emphasizing the purported lack of injuries requiring medical attention for the officer involved.
“Elements of the offenses were not made out, there was not probable cause, and it would be inequitable and unjust to treat certain people completely differently than the way Penn police were treating other people doing the exact same thing,” Krasner said, according to the Inquirer.
While Krasner pursued misdemeanor charges for other offenses, such as resisting arrest and defiant trespass, critics highlight a disturbing trend of leniency in his prosecutorial approach amidst a concerning surge in violent crime. Philadelphia recorded over 500 murders annually in both 2021 and 2022 under Krasner’s tenure, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
This leniency echoes decisions made by other Soros-backed district attorneys, including José Garza in Travis County, Texas, who also opted against charging pro-Palestinian protesters apprehended at the University of Texas Austin’s campus.

As communities grapple with escalating crime rates, Krasner’s decision raises broader questions about the ramifications of lenient prosecutorial policies championed by Soros-funded district attorneys. Critics argue that such approaches undermine law enforcement efforts and jeopardize public safety, exacerbating the challenges faced by cities already grappling with rampant violence.
