PIER 14 MURDERER WAS A SANCTUARY CITY BENEFICIARY

The man who is believed to have gunned downed a tourist on Pier 14 in the People’s Republic of San Francisco had been convicted of seven felonies and had been deported five times.

Kate Steinle, 32, was shot to death on Wednesday. Francisco Sanchez, 45, is in custody as the suspect. He was released from the S F Jail in March despite an ICE hold on him. ICE had in fact turned him over to the S F authorities on a S F drug drug warrant. He was, at that time, doing federal time for illegal reentry into the country after having been deported.

The S F DA declined to prosecute on the old warrant, and (in accordance with existing S F policy) the Sheriff refused to notify ICE that they were releasing him. It should be noted that the S F policy was incorporated into law by AB4 in 2013. That bill was written by S F Assemblyman Tom Ammiano.

Sanchez asserts that he was shooting at a sea lion (which is a serious felony) and accidentally shot Steinle. He tossed the gun into the bay, but it was recovered. About a zillion people shot cell phone pictures of Sanchez which aided in his arrest.

The S F Sheriff’s Office is blaming ICE for not lodging a stronger hold on Sanchez.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Donald Trump is using the murder of Kathryn Steinle to justify his much excoriated remarks about illegal Mexican immigrants – “Mexico isn’t sending its best. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Trump cannot be faulted for bringing up illegal immigration, but he was clearly wrong in the way he went about it. By broad brushing Mexican immigrants as criminals, The Donald let his mouth overload his ass.
