San Francisco killing sparks national outrage, likely political fallout
SF Gate ^ | 05 July 2015 | Carla Marinucci

The barrage of outraged tweets from GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump decrying the shocking San Francisco slaying of 32-year old Kathryn Steinle signals the start of what may be an intense immigration debate with potential fallout in California, home to the nation’s largest undocumented population.

Social media blazed with anger and frustration at the news that the man arrested in connection with the shooting death at San Francisco’s Pier 14 Wednesday has a rap sheet with seven felonies, was in the U.S. illegally and has been deported to his native Mexico five times — and in April was released from San Francisco Jail despite immigration authorities asking that he be kept in custody.

Particularly galling, many said, was that the release of Francisco Sanchez, 45, followed San Francisco Sheriff’s Department policies ordering the department not to comply with requested immigration holds based solely on allegations that a person is in the country illegally.

Kathryn Steinle, 32, shot to death in front of her father.


Oft-deported illegal alien and felon Francisco Sanchez, 45, claims he was shooting at sea lions in front of San Francisco's tourist-crowded Embarcadero when he "accidentally" hit Steinle.

The authorities who allowed this scumbag to walk free should be held accountable for his acts.

A spokeswoman for San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee was quick to push back. “A woman’s life was tragically taken away, and right now Mayor Lee is focused on understanding the circumstances and facts around this tragedy and this man’s release,” Christine Falvey said in an e-mail. “Mr. Trump’s opportunism and offensive anti-immigrant rhetoric have nothing to contribute to that effort.”

Speechless. Leftists are utterly beneath contempt.

Pretty apparent that the lives of people like Francisco Sanchez matter more to politicians like Jeb Bush and Marco
Rubio than do the lives of people like Kathryn Steinle. Otherwise, why would we not have heard a peep out of Bush and Rubio about never allowing what happened to Ms. Steinle happen again to any other American.

“Sanctuary City,” indeed.

I hope the family sues SF for every last penny they have, and then some. They are responsible for her death by ignoring requests to hold violent criminals when requested by proper authorities.

Still can’t figure out a motive. Was he on something? Did he hate women? Did he hate white people? Did he do it on a lark?

Isn’t that the truth? A beautiful young woman is murdered, SF’s insane liberal policies are to blame — and, like leftists everywhere, they try to pin the blame elsewhere, in this case on Trump.

“Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, up for re-election in November, and former San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who may mount a run to replace termed-out state Sen. Mark Leno next year — may also have to answer questions about their roles in shaping the policies that led to Sanchez’s release.”

Mirikarimi can’t carry a gun because he beat up his wife. Ammiano and Leno are both faggots. Just a crying shame what’s become of San Francisco. There was a time when it was a great city, but that was long ago.

Well, you see, she can’t vote anymore, because she’s dead, but he can so...

You know, if a fence can save even one life, isn’t a fence worth it?

Could a fence have saved her life?

Our politicians are the dirtiest whores who ever whored.

I'll bet most Americans had little idea of the crime caused by illegal immigrants before Trump started uh trumpeting the info. Most Americans are asleep, and of course, the nat. media wants to keep it that way.

Oppose the flood of uneducated, many times criminal illegal immigrants? Why you're just a nasty racist hater. Time to stop the foolishness.

For as big a jerk as he is, Trump finally did/said something that is pro-American rather than just something for Trump's galactic-sized ego.

Just more murdered Americans. No one in power cares. These incidents are just minor setbacks along the way towards Democrat super majorities and the replacement of the American workforce. If you’re going to make an omelette blah blah blah.
