case, and claimed the murder was &#8220;directly related to firearms outnumbering people in a vacuum of reasonable regulation.&#8221; \u00a0 Gun regulation, even an outright ban on all firearm ownership in Pennsylvania, would not have prevented Josephus or any other criminal who wanted one from getting a gun.\u00a0 Instead of blaming the weapon, maybe holding those who repeatedly commit serious and\u00a0 violent crimes accountable and keeping them behind bars would be more effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An habitual felon released on reduced bail December 29, has been arrested for the robbery and murder of a 25-year-old man two weeks later.\u00a0 Danielle Wallace of Fox News reports that 20-year-old Davis Josephus was facing charges of kidnapping for ransom, auto theft, robbery, and firearms violations when a Philadelphia judge reduced his bail from $200,000 to $12,000 late last month, resulting in his release.\u00a0 Video surveillance captured Josephus and an accomplice confront recent Temple University graduate Milan Loncar at gunpoint as he was walking his dog in a Brewerytown park last Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PA Suspect Charged With Murder Weeks After Release - Crime &amp;
