Mayor Ed Lee Chimes in on Pier 14 Murder, Backs San Francisco's Sanctuary Policy
NBC San Francisco ^ | 7/6/15 | Rhea Mahbubani and Associated Press

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is the latest to weigh in on the immigration debate centered around Kathryn Steinle’s fatal shooting at Pier 14.

In a statement released Monday, Lee described feeling "deeply saddened" by the "tragic and senseless death," adding that his "thoughts and prayers" are with the 32-year-old Pleasanton woman's family.

"I have spoken with Kathryn’s family, and they would like everyone to remember their daughter for the wonderful person that she was," he said.

Lee endorsed San Francisco's so-called sanctuary city policy, which has received a lot of flak in the aftermath of Steinle's death, but offered a caveat.

"Let me be clear: [the policy] protects residents regardless of immigration status and is not intended to protect repeat, serious and violent felons," he said.

Let me be clear: [the policy] protects residents regardless of immigration status

Will the media ever learn to ask simple questions of 'How?' and 'Why?'

Well, whatever the “intent”, it did just that, eh?

Even though that’s exactly what it does... deliberately.

Progressivism = Murder ... That’s a fact.

Of course, as he is a member of the coalition of “diverse ones” and will kill us. Americans have not yet grasped the concept; it is not immigration but an invasion.

We didn’t intend for this to happen, so that makes it okay.

How utterly typical of the Left.

“My heart is pure.” And he offered ‘sadness’ to the family.

There, that should do it.

Libs’ way.

He has got to support his stupid policies or else he will reveal/admit how stupid he is.

A beautiful young woman is murdered in cold blood in his city
and the best this hack can do is a press release, not a press conference?

The long shadow of Jim Jones’ insanity still casts a spell on the SF political crowd.

Just one more A-hole politician in the City by the Bay. I wonder if he would have said the same thing if the victim had been HIS daughter.

The entire degenerate Socialist left government tyranny is laughing at the worthy people of San Francisco, as they strip them of their assets, health and lives, while enjoying taxpayer funded personal protection denied to those same good citizens.

In San Francisco, collectivism must triumph, and the death of Miss Steinle must be seen as the necessary sacrifice that those among the masses are called upon to make in order to further the collective. The main concern here among the SF potentates is whether or not tourism will now suffer, and, if so, where taxes may be stealthily raised on the residents to compensate for the expected loss.
