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.

The victim is alive, but still in the hospital. Criminal charged with attempted murder. Victim will probably be OK. Not sure if it will effect his football career.
I guess the court appointed lawyer can say it happened. Probably the criminal did not intend to shoot anyone, certainly not anyone famous.
Even if you don’t shoot, if you are involved in a felony where someone is killed that is felony murder. There have been people executed for felony murder in Texas since the restoration of the death penalty. A woman was executed for felony murder in California in the 1950s.
I see. Thank you for this information - both that the victim has survived, and for the information on the legal situation at hand.
Hmmm. I shall pray for the victim‘s complete and speedy recovery then.
If you’re going to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some feces in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re sure to meet, wet backs over there
The “teen” crimigrant was also shot while committing his crime but, unfortunately, survived to commit more crimes.
Unadulterated BS.
If it's out of character for him, then he would not have grabbed a gun in the first place.
It's not like he was going to go hunting in the city.
Well if he was sorry, that’s different. Can’t we just all move on now? I mean, it was out of character for him and all. Who of us haven’t shot and robbed somebody on a bad day?
Why would anyone go to San Fran anymore? Frankly, if you do you get what you asked for.
“the shooting was “completely out of character for him,””
And what is his usual character?
“the shooting was “completely out of character for him,””
And what is his usual character?
*****
Probably knifing his victims.
If a person does a thing it is not out of their character to have done it.
