Obama Writes Personal Letters to 46 Felons; No Contact with Kathryn Steinle’s Family
Breitbart ^ | 07/13/15 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 07/15/2015 6:56:39 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Nearly two weeks after 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was murdered on San Francisco’s Pier 14 by an illegal alien and convicted felon who was released from prison earlier this year, President Barack Obama has failed to contact the victim’s family or mention her in public. Yet Obama took the time to write (and release) 46 personal letters this month to felons imprisoned for non-violent drug offenses whose sentences he has commuted.

Like the 46 felons to whom Obama wrote, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez had served time for non-violent offenses, some of them drug-related. After his arrest, Lopez-Sanchez, who had been deported five times to Mexico, confessed to shooting Steinle as she walked with her family at the popular tourist spot.

Steinle’s murder quickly became an iconic example of violent crime by illegal aliens released from custody under the “sanctuary city” policies embraced by San Francisco and other liberal cities that decline to work with federal immigration officials.

Critics have noted that Obama was quick to reach out to the family of Michael Brown, who was killed while charging a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri last year, enhancing Brown’s heroic status to drive a political narrative. He has done the same in other, similar cases.

I wonder how many of these 46 are illegal.
I wonder how many of those 46 "victimless crimes" were pleaded down from violent crimes.

There is a contingent on FR that sits back and complains about graphics but never steps up to the plate and helps with the FReepathon. You just joined their ranks.

It’s OK. Kathryn’s Brother still loves Obama.

Trump, not so much.

No one told me that being a member in good standing of this forum, duly entitled to a position on whatever one chooses, was predicated on how much money one has put up lately, or that membership here is likewise run on a caste system.

If that has changed, or if someone has recently stepped aside and put you in charge, I suppose that I'm just the last one to know. Otherwise, uh, have a good day.

I said nothing about money. You got snarky about a graphic. Have you ever made one? Ever posted one on the FReepathon thread? Have you worked the long hours the team does only to be criticized by someone who has never considered the hours that go into what they are criticizing?

That's what I was talking about.
