US Rep Scanlon (D-PA 5) carjacked at Gunpoint in Philly
[NBCNews] Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., was carjacked at gunpoint in a park in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon,

The incident occurred around 2:4at FDR Park in South Philadelphia, where Scanlon had been attending a meeting earlier in the afternoon, said the spokeswoman, Lauren Cox. Scanlon was unharmed, Cox said in a statement.

"She thanks the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response, and appreciates the efforts of both the Sergeant at Arms in D.C. and her local police department for coordinating with Philly PD to ensure her continued safety," the statement said.

Two armed men approached Scanlon and demanded the keys to her vehicle - a blue 2017 Acura MDX. Scanlon surrendered the keys and one of the two men drove off with her Acura. The second man entered a separate vehicle and followed the first man, Philadelphia police said.
Scanlon was sponsor of some anti-cop bills in 2020. She was elected in 2018 courtesy of a gerrymandered district and Dem Propaganda by the local media.

#7 Complete Shitshow now as Prosecutors Abandon Philly DA's Office led by Soros Commie DA Krasner

- 261 of 340 prosecuting attorneys have quit

- "Those who remain say critical units are in disarray, such as Major Trials, which handles many of the office’s most serious cases. Two-thirds of the lawyers in that unit, as of November, were law-school graduates admitted to the Pennsylvania bar within the last five years."

- DA Krasner made a special push to recruit graduates of inferior, third-tier Historically Black College/Univ. law schools. These incompetent hires have also quit in droves.

- Left-wing young attorneyshired by Krasner "didn't think anyone at all belonged in jail" ... "would cry when defendants were convicted" and were more interested in protecting criminals than prosecuting them
