San Francisco shooter: How did repeat felon get gun? (found it on a park bench)
Christian Science Monitor ^ | July 6, 2015 | Jessica Mendoza

The man arrested in the fatal shooting of a woman at San Francisco’s Pier 14 has confessed to the crime – though he said it was an accident.

In a jailhouse interview Sunday with KGO-TV’s Cornell Barnard, Francisco Sanchez, speaking in a mix of Spanish and English, said he had found the gun, wrapped inside a shirt, while he was sitting on a bench and smoking a cigarette at the pier. He had picked it up and “it started to fire on its own,” Mr. Sanchez said, adding that he has poor vision and was under the influence of sleeping pills when he shot and killed Kathryn Steinle.

There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that he admits that he got the piece from one of this bunch!

And, there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that he found it on a park bench.

You do realize what this means? A gun has exhibited independent will. It's ALIVE!

All the gun needed was to be picked up and the gun sucked out his life force and started to kill...

It’s a miracle! He miraculously “finds” a loaded gun, and then, it miraculously fires itself!

The taped interview will be used to claim he can’t get a fair trial or in an insanity plea.

So clearly HE is the real victim here! He only found the gun and it was an accident. What he needs is free tuition, room and board at one of the UC schools. And a car. Oh, and health care, with a dental plan.

Obama should invite this poor soul to the WH.

Seriously? This makes me sick.

Part of the story may be true. It was specifically left there for his special mission. This has all the hallmarks of a special operation.

I heard Jeb Bush left it there as an act of love.

Say, I want one of those guns that just starts shooting itself! I wonder if you could train it to only shoot at specified persons?

If he had gotten the gun any other way, then they wouldn’t be able to spin this into a gun control issue. But since he found it wrapped in a shirt (nice touch) on a park bench, why!!!!! See how easy it is for anyone to get a gun and do violence to others?! And he wasn’t even looking for a gun. No no he was out for a stroll on Pier 13 when the gun just “POP” suddenly went off for no reason and the bullet landed right slap in the damn white girls racist hateful heart!

Isn’t this the home of the biggest gun grabber in congress of the last forty years. I’m sure Feinstein sees the connection.

Absolutely. I too believe this was a special operation, though I don’t expect the authorities to investigate it as such. They won’t investigate who he knows, who he’s been in touch with, who helped him across the border 5 times,who was in charge of his deportation cases, etc. He’ll plead guilty to manslaughter, or not guilty by reason of insanity, the authorities will agree, and the case will be closed. Neither the Feds, the state of California, nor the city of San Francisco, nor the mainstream media will look into it.
