Kate Steinle: Politically Motivated Jury?

We have created this culture, and now we have to live with it. We have allowed the liberal left to rip up the Constitution, and move us away from the rule of law. We now reside in a land governed by the rule of man, and truth, justice, and the American Way has been tossed out the window as a result.
Kate Steinle was a lovely young woman of only 32 who died in her father’s arms after being murdered in 2015 in San Francisco by an illegal alien, Garcia Zarate, who had been released by a San Francisco jail despite a standing federal deportation order. Deported five times before, the illegal alien’s murder of Kate Steinle became a battle cry for those calling for the federal government to enforce immigration law, which, under President Barack Obama, had not been happening. The Trump Campaign in the 2016 Presidential Election used the incident as a rallying cry, providing that the Steinle murder was proof positive that sanctuary city status kills Americans.
Defense lawyers said the shooting was an accident that happened when Garcia Zarate, who had a history of drug crimes but no record of violence, found the gun wrapped in a T-shirt or cloth under his seat on the pier just seconds before it discharged in his hands. Matt Gonzalez of the public defender’s office said his client had never handled a gun and was scared by the noise, prompting him to fling the weapon into the bay, where a diver fished it out a day later.
Guns don’t just discharge. The bullet needs to be in the chamber, and the trigger has to be squeezed. Firearms don’t leap into life in the hands of an inexperienced person and then suddenly go off. And I am supposed to believe an individual with a history of drug crimes, who has illegally crossed the border a number of times, and associates with low-lifes on the streets has never seen a gun before?
The defense attorneys simply said that poor Zarate, a street urchin who has spent much of his adult life behind bars, was living on the street before the shooting, and only has a second-grade education, did not fully understand what the officers were asking him through an officer’s Spanish translation so that’s why his story was all over the place.
Do you think if Zarate had instead been white, and voted for Trump, the verdict would have been the same?
The bullet, after all (we are being told by the leftists), hit the concrete ground and then ricocheted up to hit Steinle, so obviously it was an accident, right?
The leftists who have no experience with firearms continued to argue. . .
Most police agencies don’t make records public, but those that do reveal disturbing data. In a four-year period (2012-2015), the New York City Police Department reported 54 accidental firearm discharges, 10 involving SIG Sauers. Los Angeles County reported more than 80 accidental discharges between 2010 and 2015, five involving SIG Sauers. From 2005 to January 2011, the San Francisco Police Department reported 29 accidental discharges (a time when it issued SIG Sauers as its primary sidearm)…
The SIG Sauer in Lopez Sanchez’s case has three features prone to accidents:
1. No safety lever, making it perpetually ready for firing.
2. Manufacturer-issued trigger pull of 4.4 pounds of force (in single-action mode), which is among the lightest on the market.
3. An unlabeled decocking lever despite being essential to disengage the single-action mode. (The SIG Sauer safety manual urges “DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN the consequences can be serious injury or death — only and ALWAYS use the decocking lever.”)
New York City requires officers using SIG Sauers to disable its single-action function because the hair trigger is too dangerous. Those using the gun can only do so in double-action mode, which has a 10-pound trigger pull.
The jury bought into the idea of Zarate having no experience with guns, especially a SIG Sauer which costs $1,000 or more (because everybody knows that criminals who want to get their hands on an expensive gun goes to the gun shop to purchase one at retail price, right?) that he could not afford as a homeless illegal immigrant created a situation where a purposeful murder was unlikely.
The prosecutors were under tremendous political pressure. People wanted Kate Steinle’s killer’s head on a platter, even before Donald Trump ever tweeted her name.
San Francisco prosecutors told the jury that Garcia Zarate intentionally brought the gun to the pier that day with the intent of doing harm, aimed the gun toward Steinle and pulled the trigger. They spent a lot of time seeking to prove the gun that killed Steinle couldn’t have fired without a firm pull of the trigger.
If you are telling this to a bunch of San Francisco liberals who are convinced that guns kill people and can go off at any time just by looking at it wrong, because the liberal left politicians and media has been telling them this their entire lives, and they religiously believe it, a courtroom lesson is not going to convince them otherwise.
Perhaps the prosecutors should have pursued a manslaughter charge, instead.
What did you think was going to happen?
The jury was full of San Francisco bleeding-heart Democrats who wanted to make sure their sanctuary city status was protected, and the death of Americans is worth it when it comes to protecting their anti-American narrative. The verdict was what I expected. I hoped I was wrong, but if you put a bunch of San Francisco liberals together, they are going to circle the wagons to protect their religiosity of leftism, first. Death is a minor setback. Criminality is a necessary means. Their goal of collectivism must move forward. . . at any price.
Not only is Zarate a poor victim in their eyes, but now that he’s going to be in jail for a while, they are going to make sure he can vote. The justice system, after all, is unfair in the eyes of the liberal left. You are guilty for thinking the worse of poor Zarate. He’s a victim, a product of a vast right-wing conspiracy.

“We have allowed the liberal left to rip up the Constitution…” I didn’t read any farther. We are all responsible. It isn’t just liberal lefties sitting on juries and electing crooks.
