“Proving “criminal negligence”: Criminal negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with criminal negligence when:

He or she acts in a reckless way that creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury; AND
A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk.

In other words, a person acts with criminal negligence when the way he or she acts is so different from the way an ordinarily careful person would act in the same situation that his or her act amounts to disregard for human life or indifference to the consequences of that act.”

So...shooting a gun for no reason on a city street doesn’t qualify as something VERY different from how “an ordinarily careful person would act in the same situation”?

We all know that if this white American fired a gun on a city street and someone died, I’d be in heap big trouble unless it was self-defense. But if you are here illegally from Mexico, and it is California, you can do no wrong!
