An Activist Journalist’s Tragic Death: A Cautionary Tale of Crime and Compassion
An activist journalist who adamantly argued that crime wasn’t that bad in his city has tragically lost his life. And the suspect, according to the police, was a troubled teenager whom he was trying to help.
During a news briefing, Philadelphia Police Lt. Hamilton Marshmond revealed that the 19-year-old suspect, Robert Edmond Davis, was acquainted with the victim, 39-year-old Josh Kruger. Lt. Marshmond stated, “At this time we believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were acquaintances.”
Despite their connection, the motive behind the crime remains unknown. Lt. Marshmond admitted, “As to the why, I do not know at this time.”
As of Friday evening, the 19-year-old suspect was still at large and considered armed and dangerous. According to reports, Davis had experienced homelessness in the past and had a previous arrest record.
Kruger, a journalist who wrote for various publications, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and LGBTQ Nation, was shot seven times inside his South Philadelphia home. The police found no evidence of forced entry, suggesting that the perpetrator may have been welcomed in by Kruger.
The case has gained national attention due to Kruger’s high profile as a journalist and activist, particularly in support of progressive policies favored by Philadelphia’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, who is backed by George Soros.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Robert Edmond Davis. He is accused of murdering Philadelphia leftist activist and journalist Josh Kruger earlier this week. Kruger was a BLM advocate who argued that we have a “white supremacist police state” killing black people. https://t.co/elUZ12oaCm pic.twitter.com/2fLcntmpJS

In July, Kruger spoke about the crime situation in Philadelphia, claiming that shootings were dropping to levels not seen in years. He emphasized that local law enforcement should not be blamed for rising crime rates.

While Kruger’s death is undoubtedly a tragedy, it sheds light on the naivete of certain liberals who downplay the severity of crime in American cities. Despite evidence to the contrary, they argue against stricter law enforcement measures. Kruger’s support for these policies will continue, but he will sadly become just another statistic in the left’s failed attempt to replace criminal justice with social justice.

A Tragic Loss of Life:
The tragic death of activist journalist Josh Kruger serves as a cautionary tale that underscores the harsh realities of crime and the importance of compassion. Kruger, who passionately argued that crime was not as rampant in his city as widely believed, lost his life at the hands of a troubled teenager whom he was trying to help.
Philadelphia Police Lt. Hamilton Marshmond revealed that the suspect, 19-year-old Robert Edmond Davis, was acquainted with Kruger and that Kruger was actively involved in trying to assist him. Despite their connection, the motive behind the crime remains unknown, leaving authorities puzzled about the reasons behind this tragic incident.
As of now, the suspect, Davis, remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous. Reports indicate that Davis had experienced homelessness in the past and had a previous arrest record, indicating a troubled background.
An Unsolved Case:
Jos‟ Kruger, a journalist known for his work in various publications including the Philadelphia Inquirer and LGBTQ Nation, was found shot seven times inside his South Philadelphia home. The absence of forced entry suggests that the perpetrator may have been someone known to Kruger, emphasizing the significance of the suspect’s connection to the victim.
Furthermore, Kruger’s high profile as a journalist and activist supporting progressive policies favored by Philadelphia’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, has catapulted the case into the national spotlight. Kruger’s advocacy for causes such as Black Lives Matter and his critique of what he described as a “white supremacist police state” killing black individuals has stirred intense debate and strong reactions.
The Naivety of Downplaying Crime:
While Kruger’s death is undoubtedly a tragedy, it also serves as a wake-up call to those who downplay the severity of crime in American cities. Despite evidence to the contrary, some individuals argue against stricter law enforcement measures and continue to support policies that prioritize social justice over criminal justice. Kruger’s support for these policies will undoubtedly continue, but his untimely demise highlights the flawed ideology behind these approaches.
The Importance of Compassion:
Josh Kruger’s dedication to journalism and activism should not be overshadowed by the tragic circumstances of his death. His efforts to assist troubled individuals demonstrate the importance of compassion and understanding in addressing the root causes of crime. While the motive behind his murder may still be unknown, his legacy of compassion can serve as a reminder to society that, despite the risks involved, reaching out to those in need can lead to positive change.
A Call to Support Independent Journalism:
The untimely death of Josh Kruger and the national attention it has garnered remind us of the crucial role journalists play in shedding light on important issues. In a time when media landscapes are congested with biased narratives, independent journalism remains a vital source of unbiased news and
