“focused primarily on the weapon, rather than the illegal alien.”......
Yes, that “stolen” and “found again” weapon that the ILLEGAL probably stole himself. I shout foul, foul. foul!
I anticipate that “illegal” is a dead man walking if he ever gets free from the feds and sneaks back into the U.S. the next time.
That stolen gun did NOT fire itself, the many time illegal DID.
What criminal with a stolen weapon would take it to a wide open location on a public pier and ditch it under an open bench - rather than at a concealed place where no one would see him or anything he left?
Or at least, once on the pier, toss it in the water as this criminal Mexican did after he shot Steinle?
