POTUS slams not guilty verdict in Kate Steinle trial: 'Disgraceful'

#6  A complete disgrace. Anyone else would be cooling their heels for 20 years.

#5  The left's sacred cows get away with murder every day. Two weeks ago I heard an accident and turned to see one car wiped out in the middle of the street. Went over and a young lady was sitting in the car crying saying she is tired of being hit by hit and run Mexicans. She said through her tears this was the second time in a month.

But the real problem is people still don't give a damn.

#4  The only reason he wasn't pawned off as a 'poor DACA kid' was the publicity the killing generated.

#3  On July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle died in a hospital two hours after being shot in the back by a bullet which had ricocheted off the concrete deck of Pier 14. The bullet had come from a .40-caliber handgun, one of three shots fired by Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, a Mexican national unlawfully residing in the United States. He was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter, but convicted of illegal possession of a firearm.

It is a travesty. He was here illegally, had been deported multiple times, used drugs, second-grade education. Probably broke into an agent's car and stole a firearm. He fired 3 shots, one ricocheted and killed Kate. I'm surprised he wasn't pawned off in court as a poor DACA kid. Anyone else would have been in the slammer pronto. Drive a car in California and kill someone while you're are drunk and MADD ladies will make certain you get charged and prosecuted vehicular homicide and put away.
