There is absolutely NOTHING that justifies their behavior. This was an open insult and outrage to all American citizens and legal guests. The message is clear. San Francisco must be subdued.
The OJ trial was about racism. This jury was no different. First degree might have been a stretch. Incompetence.
Cut off all federal funds and cooperation.
Wasn’t much of a refuge for Kate though...
Refuge for scoundrels to persecute good people. Cue the liberals who wanted to lynch Zimmerman over Trayvon Martin now claim the reasonable doubt arguement.
I am glad we have presumption of innocence but I doubt San Francisco applies it but when politically convenient. I am not setting foot down there. What a hell hole..
If tomorrow I “accidentally” shot my neighbors with a gun stolen from a cop, or, “worse”, my own gun, I would be hung by the antigun crowd.
So it is not Ok in liberal lands to shoot with your own gun, but fine to steal one from a cop...
The only citizens that think this crap is a good idea are politicians in deep blue states (and Utah), where they prey on voters' ignorance and realization that they'll vote Democratic no matter what. I'm convinced if people got to vote on sanctuary cities and driver's licenses for illegals directly through ballot referendum, even in deep blue places like California, they'd reject it, like Oregon did with Measure 88.
Stay out of San Francisco - I thought it was unsafe well before this happened.
using a life for a political agenda
Attention white people...Illegal Mexicans can murder you or your kids.....DON’T COME TO CALIFORNIA......STAY AWAY..You can be murdered and if an illegal Mexican does it,they will get away Scott free....By the way,California democrats have told all minority groups in California,as long as they steal ONLY 950.00 worth of your stuff,no big deal.....WHITE PEOPLE,YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.....
I’ll never forget Kate’s last words said to her father, “Help me Daddy.” How can he live with that memory?
From the very beginning, the shooter claimed that the gun went off accidentally, and that he never pulled the trigger.
In addition, the bullet struck the sidewalk in front of the woman and ricocheted into her body.
Trying to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooter deliberately targeted the woman was never going to be easy.
There is also another dimension to this case that would have tempted me into jury nullification.
The prosecution gave the jury THREE murder charges to choose from - from memory: Murder 2, Voluntary Manslaughter, or Involuntary Manslaughter.
That gimmick is a steaming pile of legal crap, in my opinion. The job of the prosecution is to prove the charge it brings. Instead, in many jurisdictions, the prosecution presents its evidence, then it gives the jury a grab bag of charges it can convict on.
In my opinion, that is flagrantly unconstitutional.
In any event, the shooter was convicted of felony possession of a firearm, which means he may do some hard time, unless the USA feds release him back to Mexico again.
As long as sanctuary cities/states officials think they can defy the law with impunity nothing will happen. Only when one or more are arrested and prosecuted will the others fall in line. Even the withholding of Federal funds will only steel their resolve as they send their lawyers before sympathetic judges to delay the withholding of funds.
Build the Wall!
Two things: “BUILD THE WALL, AROUND SAN FRANCISCO”.
Calling Snake Plisken. Don’t go there.
Secondly, give the NORCS the target coordinates for S.F. - “Nuke SF, spare Seoul”.
When I was five years old, in the early 50s, my Dad was recalled to the Navy for the Korean War, and we lived on the Alameda Naval Air Station, while Dad served at the old Oakland Naval Air Station, now Oakland International.
Looking across the bay, San Francisco was a magical place. We went there often and it was so clean and nice.
Now, it is a cesspool of depravity and anti-Americanism. It is a bastion of hatred, mascarading as a place of love.
San Francisco and California have forfeited their position in America. I will, wherever possible, avoid products and services from this state and city.
The one service that I will use is Free Republic. Beyond that, I will try and avoid all others. It will not be easy, but I will give it my best shot.
