After a San Francisco jury acquitted on Thursday an illegal alien, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate respectively, in the shooting death of Kate Steinle (he was declared not guilty of murder and/or manslaughter) in one of the most shocking decisions of late, President Trump went on to Twitter and blasted the Democrats for their irresponsible policies, i.e. unvetted immigration and sanctuary cities.
Here’s the POTUS on Friday morning:
A disgraceful verdict in the Kate Steinle case! No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with Illegal Immigration.
The Kate Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court. His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD THE WALL!
The jury was not told the killer of Kate was a 7 time felon. The Schumer/Pelosi Democrats are so weak on Crime that they will pay a big price in the 2018 and 2020 Elections.

Here’s ICE’ official statement following the acquittal of Kate Steinle killer:
“San Francisco’s policy of refusing to honor ICE detainers is a blatant threat to public safety and undermines the rule of law. This tragedy could have been prevented if San Francisco had simply turned the alien over to ICE, as we requested, instead of releasing him back onto the streets. It is unconscionable that politicians across this country continue to endanger the lives of Americans with sanctuary policies while ignoring the harm inflicted on their constituents. Following the conclusion of this case, ICE will work to take custody of Mr. Garcia Zarate and ultimately remove him from the country.”
If you’re not familiar with the story, on July 1 2015, an illegal alien who was previously deported 5 times, was accused of killing a reveler who was taking a stroll with her father on Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district in San Francisco, California: 32 year old Kathryn Steinle was shot in the back, in what the perpetrator claimed it was an accidental shooting. Kate died in her father’s arms a few minutes later.
Now, if you ask me, San Francisco’s District Attorney intentionally put up a weak prosecution in hopes of avoiding a guilty verdict which would have likely resulted in significant liability in the civil case that the Steinle family has filed against the city of San Francisco.
It’s beyond ironic that the jury acquitted him of all murder charges, yet slapped him with the charge of “possession of a firearm”. Think about it, by finding him innocent of the murder charges, they are saying that they believe his story that he just picked up the gun and it fired because the trigger was so light. So if the jury believes this, why would they still charge him with illegal possession of a firearm??
Makes no sense.
I know that gun well by the way, the murder weapon that is: a SIG p229. This gun belonged to a federal employee (it was stolen from a ranger’s car a few days prior to the shooting).
The gun has no safety and is commonly referred to as double action single action gun. – Cock the hammer back and the trigger pressure drops to about 4 lbs, and does have a short travel distance to fire a shot. Leave the hammer up and the pull weight is ~10 lbs and it is a rather long pull – this is the real safety feature of the gun. It is one of the safest guns and Sigs of this design are used by Feds and police everywhere across the country – second only to Glock as far as I know.
The bullet apparently hit the ground and ricocheted up – hitting and killing Kate. He ‘apparently’ did not aim at her -nor intend to kill her. Had this been you pulling that trigger – you would have been found guilty of manslaughter at a minimum – and used as a pawn in the ‘gun control’ debate.
This case will also give murderers yet another ‘out’ in future court cases.
Now, for avid MSM readers, here’s how to translate English to Liberalish:
Illegal alien –> undocumented immigrant
Drug dealer –> unlicensed pharmacist
Squatter –> undocumented homeowner
Assaulter –> unsanctioned boxer
Murderer –> preemptive mortician
I don’t think anyone but her friends and family will even remember this happened by election time…
People have very short memories for things not affecting them directly. That’s why so many people are saying Trump is the worst president ever. They’ve already forgotten about the crimes of Bush. And Clinton. And Obama. And the other Bush.
Declared executive amnesty for any and all illegal invaders that kill the offspring of Democrats would effectively penetrate the sociopath brain barrier of the left.
Bushjr. survived 9/11/2001 to get re-elected. So, how doe’s Trump think a Guy judged by 12 of His PEERS in a Highly publicized court proceeding gonna hurt anyone? If the Perp had been White, we would be hearing: The system works, get over it. If the Victim wasn’t a “Pretty White Women” this wouldn’t even be an issue. She’s not the only victim that this has happened to this year or last. We hear MORE about this then the Las Vegas shootings a month ago. 50 plus dead & 500 plus injured. And this is what People are talking about. What happened to the Victims of Las Vegas? I feel for the Family, but this is the same “Justice” Poor and People of Color experience Daily. Sad.
You people are dreaming!
The Republicans will make this front & center in their advertising and every Democrat nominee will be asked about it! Wrong answer & they’re history!
Republicans making something front & center has never helped much.
Look at what Democrats and many moderate Republicans are saying about Benghazi, Hitlery’s emails, Whitewater, Vince Foster, and many similar issues — and you won’t be very far from the words “witch hunt”.
And those are all things where a Democrat clearly was to blame, while blaming Democrats for this is a bit of a stretch (yes, Democrats are the ones who are lenient on illegal immigrants, but given this guy had already been deported multiple times, it’s easy to argue he’d have been there doing the same thing even if there were much tougher immigration laws).
Supposedly this is a major problem in the inner city where jurors identify with the accused and refuse to find them guilty. So they are released to kill some more!
Rapist –> undocumented gynecologist…..
Media playing the masses like a fiddle…
