In his first court appearance, the 17-year-old who shot San Francisco 49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall claimed he was “very sorry that this did happen.” That message came through his court-appointed attorney Bob Dunlap, who said the shooting was “completely out of character for him,” while confirming that the juvenile has another “outstanding matter” in San Joaquin County. The “matter” was not revealed and neither was the suspect’s identity.
No photos of Pearsall’s assailant have appeared and a courtroom sketch portrays him with light brown hair, beard and pony tail, the style of a Malibu surfer. His mother, also unnamed, needed a Spanish interpreter to follow the proceedings, so members of Pearsall’s family, also present in court, have a right to wonder if the shooter is legally present in the United States. As they should know, California’s sanctuary law protects criminal illegals from deportation. The Mexican national who gunned down police officer Ronil “Ron” Singh was one of them.
At 17, the “high-school senior” who shot Pearsall can’t legally own a gun, so California’s myriad gun laws did not prevent this juvenile from acquiring a “semi-automatic firearm.” Gov. Gavin Newsom, former mayor of San Francisco, has yet to denounce the attack on Pearsall as “gun violence.”
The unnamed “high-school senior” has been charged with attempted murder, assault with a firearm, and attempted second-degree robbery. Under California’s 2016 Proposition 57, the decision to move the case to adult court must be made by juvenile court judges, not prosecutors. To try this shooter as an adult should be a no-brainer, but California law is very kind to criminals.

Be sure to stay away from Union Square
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re sure to meet, some violent people there
Yes, it mysteriously just "happened."
Total lack of accountability!
Regards,
“outstanding matter that also was completely out of character for him. ”
I thought their mommas were supposed to be the ones that said they were a good boy, an aspiring rapper, and turning their life around.
This one had to get his lawyer to speak up for him. His momma must not be willing to stand up for him.
Was he wearing a flower in his hair?
Good version.
Maybe carry spare ammo clips in your hair?
Be sure to wear some feces in your hair.

“very sorry that this did happen.”
Smart kid. He gets it. /s
Apparently an illegal alien from Mexico or something rather than black.
It was obviously an accident. He only meant to rob the football player.
“If you’re going to San Francisco . . .”
Don’t go onto the streets at night.
And don’t go onto the streets during the day.
Nice work updating the lyrics. 👍
I don’t know if the late Scott McKenzie would have approved. But Weird Al Yankovic sure would!
From the Summer of Love
To the Summer of Shove (a gun in your ribs)
Not going.
No ifs ands or buts
There was a SFPD detective interviewed in one of the Zodiac Murders documentaries.
He said “in 1967, if you were coming to San Francisco, you were supposed to wear flowers in your hair.”
“By 1969, you would have been well advised to carry a loaded revolver.”
Sorry but I really am laughing my behind off at the moment 😂😂🤣
Although this case is as saddening as it gets ☹️
Prayers for the murdered gentleman and his loved ones 🙏🏻
So the “kid” is 60 miles from home, on a school day, and just decides to rob a tall, well muscled guy - and the kid can recognize a Rolex from 30 paces - and we are supposed to tell sorry for him, why?
At least the priors might keep him there for a while.
Can’t be messing with the 49’ers, that team is above the law.
Be sure to wear some boots upon your feet.
