Trump Says 'Weak On Crime' Democrats Will Pay, Serial Border Crosser Acquitted Of Murder (Steinle)
BI ^ | 12-1-2017 | Alex Locke

President Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats on Twitter on Friday, the morning after a Mexican man who illegally entered the US six times was acquitted of murder in the death of a young woman walking on a San Francisco pier with her father.

"The Kate Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court," Trump tweeted.

A jury cleared Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, 45, of murder and manslaughter charges on Thursday in connection to the fatal shooting of Kathryn Steinle, with his defense having argued that the shooting was a ricochet and an accident.

He was convicted of possessing a firearm as a felon, however, which means the jury did have some knowledge of his criminal history.

In Trump's tweets on Friday morning he referred to Zarate's "exoneration" as a "complete travesty of justice," though acquittal and exoneration have different legal definitions.

Trump seized on Zarate's case early, as the killing took place in 2015 around the time Trump began campaigning for president on the platform of building a wall along the US's southern border with Mexico. On Thursday evening, Trump called the verdict "disgraceful" and alluded to the case's link to illegal immigration.

More SAD proof the agenda of the modern (misnamed) “Progressives” (DemWit and/or Reprobate)does NOT include any benefit to the citizens… in fact the legal citizens of the United States are the ENEMY to be conquered, subjugated and destroyed by an invading army of Islamists and illegals!

McConnell and the Chamber of Commerce has to be sh*tting bricks today. After the despicable acquittal of a murderous criminal illegal alien and the evil political grandstanding by the defense lawyers the voters in Alabama are going to stick it to the GOPe and the Bush Crime Family by electing Judge Moore.

Any voters for Trump as president, who come to Gay Frisco, the city that hates White Americans, deserve whatever extras they get.

Boycott this damn left wing city, Gay Frisco.

Don’t visit it nor schedule any business meetings there.

It is not the justice system which failed or California. It is the elected officials at all levels of government and their sycophants in the MSM who failed both Kate and the country.

Vote them out. Pass the word around. Work hard or they will won.

Upn`here if somebody, a convicted felon, has a weapon illegally and shoots “a ricochet and [it`s] an accident”, it`s ground for uncontestable convictable manslaughter.
What kinda laws they got in califorkinia ur done?

Yes. I think the end game is to let in so many Latin Americans and Middle Eastern and North African Muslims that the only way to govern the country will be to create a full police state. Eventually, the way we were going, it would seem justified.

Having said that, I think perhaps that civil war will erupt before they can fully implement the plan.

Can you imagine the Civil liabilities for the city of San Francisco having declared itself a sanctuary City and then a multiple illegal immigrant offender kills a citizen!

The legal implications could bankrupt all of California.

Justice cannot be allowed to happen, the Democratic voting machine is in danger.
