San Francisco killing sparks national outrage, likely political fallout
SF Gate ^ | 05 July 2015 | Carla Marinucci

Posted on 07/05/2015 9:39:08 AM PDT by Drew68

The barrage of outraged tweets from GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump decrying the shocking San Francisco slaying of 32-year old Kathryn Steinle signals the start of what may be an intense immigration debate with potential fallout in California, home to the nation’s largest undocumented population.

Social media blazed with anger and frustration at the news that the man arrested in connection with the shooting death at San Francisco’s Pier 14 Wednesday has a rap sheet with seven felonies, was in the U.S. illegally and has been deported to his native Mexico five times — and in April was released from San Francisco Jail despite immigration authorities asking that he be kept in custody.

Particularly galling, many said, was that the release of Francisco Sanchez, 45, followed San Francisco Sheriff’s Department policies ordering the department not to comply with requested immigration holds based solely on allegations that a person is in the country illegally.

Obama, California, San Francisco.......murderers!!! Donald Trump is 100% correct!!! We have all kinds of magnificent, loyal, hard working, Hispanic citizens here in the USA, Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, etc. and a good number of illegals that are also productive, loyal, glad to be here people!!!

But....with Obama (the American hater) & his Obamabot Democrats, we have all kinds of illegal felons, thugs, druggies, murderers, rapists, criminals, among us, which is exactly what Obama craves....the destruction of this great country!!! The blood of this innocent, beautiful, young woman, who was full of life, is now gone....and her blood runs from the hands of Obama and the Democrat Party!!!

Wake up, America!!! Trump tell us the truth...as it is!!!

The leftist bleeding heart bastards who let them in are responsible: they KNEW that the illegals would commit more crime than the people already here, so they are responsible.

Politicians willingly sacrificing innocent people on the altar of political correctness.

Oh shit! PETA will be after him now.

Nope. Protected class and does not advance leftism.

An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power.

This is THE meme that needs to be pushed this election cycle.

These son of a bitch politicians need to be held accountable for putting illegal aliens ahead of US citizens.

“Oft-deported illegal alien and felon Francisco Sanchez, 45, claims he was shooting at sea lions in front of San Francisco’s tourist-crowded Embarcadero when he “accidentally” hit Steinle. “

Still can’t figure out a motive. Was he on something? Did he hate women? Did he hate white people? Did he do it on a lark?

I'm going to speculate he was drunk when the notion to shoot sea lions in front of a crowded pier suddenly became a good idea.

Not that being drunk is ever any excuse. I've been known more than a few back myself from time to time and yet the firearms always remained secured.

Leftists 'never let a crisis', or tragedy, 'go to waste'. They make blanket statements declaring tenuous or flat out fatuous connections to their political opponents in every case - its always their opponents and opponents policies to blame.

In this example there is the most direct connection possible between leftwing political policies and real consequences - and of course the progressives squeal like piggies when someone points it out.

I'll bet most Americans had little idea of the crime caused by illegal immigrants before Trump started uh trumpeting the info. Most Americans are asleep, and of course, the nat. media wants to keep it that way.

I live in New Mexico. We see it everyday with the murder and mayhem caused by them, plus our Democrat controlled judical system here has them on a catch and release schedule. Mug shots posted after they're been caught multiple times show the numerous tattoos they sport from previous incarceration.

It's hard to tell. The FBI keeps track of all violent crimes but classifies offenders by race; white, black, Native American, or Asian. Hispanic, an ethnicity, typically gets dumped into the "white" category, skewing up the white crime rate.

I would caution the Republicans who are joining the liberals in criticizing Trump that they are already on the wrong side of the debate, and they might want to reconsider their stance, very SOON! This is a case where the crowd in moving in a certain direction, so other Republicans are going to have to move quickly to make it appear that they are leading the debate, instead of having to catch up to it.

There are millions of dirt poor illiterate males from macho cultures in this country with little or no chance to ever 'score' one of the local females.

I imagine there is quite a bit of bitterness stored up in a great many of them.

One of those obvious details no one ever discusses and, not coincidentally, another reason to question the current preferred policy of 'come one come all'.

“Sanctuary City,” indeed.

Santa Fe, NM, which follows San Francisco in most all ways, including gay control of the politics, also is a declared "sanctuary city."

I've been following comments about this tragedy on some leftie sites (Yahoo News, etc.).

Most folks (well over 90%) are blaming the city of San Fransisco and/or the open-border policies. That really surprised me. Very few people are trying to excuse this thing away. People - left, center, and right - are angry.

Everyone except the power elites in DC, of course.

Yes, border state residents are probably much more aware of the problems than residents of other states.
