Krasner ran the type of ads that were a direct hit on those of us who believe that it is the job of the prosecutor, first and foremost, to keep people safe. It is not the job of the prosecutor to ease the burden of the defense attorney. It is not the job of the prosecutor to see police as enemies, victims as an annoyance, and criminals as "clients." I wailed about this, like Cassandra, begging the people of Philadelphia not to flock like Peoples Temple members to the polls and drink the nihilistic Kool-Aid of "we are depraved because we were deprived." My words fell on ears that were not so much deaf as immune to common sense. Well done, Philadelphians. Feel proud of yourselves.
