Sinking Their Own Ship

The sense of entitlement on crack cocaine — and this murderer is not even an American citizen.

In this July 7, 2015, file photo, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, right, is led into the courtroom by San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, left, and Assistant District Attorney Diana Garciaor, center, for his arraignment at the Hall of Justice in San Francisco. Garcia Zarate, a homeless undocumented immigrant acquitted of killing Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier ,is scheduled to be sentenced on a lesser gun charge Friday, Jan. 5, 2018. (Michael Macor/San Francisco Chronicle via AP, Pool, File)

From Illegal immigrant charged in Kate Steinle death accuses government of ‘vindictive’ prosecution (Washington Times, March 15, 2018):
The illegal immigrant accused in the shooting death of Kate Steinle is charging the federal government with “vindictive prosecution” and collusion with city and state authorities, and using President Trump’s tweets and public statements by him and his attorney general to make his case.

In a filing this week in federal court in San Francisco, lawyers for Jose Garcia-Zarate demanded that that the federal government hand over its communications with local law enforcement agencies — the San Francisco police, district attorney’s office and sheriff’s office — to let him prove collusion and double jeopardy.

Attorney J. Tony Serra accused Mr. Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions of using his client as a political punching bag and said their words suggest that Mr. Garcia-Zarate is being unjustly prosecuted.

    2. Firing a gun at ALL ––– ANY gun –– in a public setting is –– or should be –– a Criminal 0ffense worthy of a minimum twenty-year jail sentence. PERIOD!.

      The bastard had already been deported FIVE TIMESl As far as I'M concerned he shouldn't have been permitted to have ANY "defense" at all. Instead he should have been SHOT DEAD by the police the SECIND he was apprehended.

      I suppose if he'd brought a MACHINE GUN to the park and mowed down fifteen or twenty innocent bystanders, he might have gotten killed by the police, and that would have ENDED the goddam matter once and for all.

      The point is that Kate Steinle –– a TOTALLY innocent human being –– is DEAD, because Law Enforcement FAILED to do its duty.

      DEAD is DEAD –– never mind the MOTIVES.

    5. What they achieved, Ducky, is the acquittal of an “undocumented voter” and legitimization of their sanctuary city. You would have to be delusional to think that district attorney’s prosecutorial decisions aren’t guided by politics. In this case, the short-term loss was a long-term win for George Gascon (a Hispanic) who, according to his bio, has earned a national reputation as a visionary in criminal justice reform. Well, he is a visionary, alright. The lead prosecutor, by the way, was Diana Garcia. Hmmm. Perhaps you also think that Mike Nifong was somehow apolitical.

    5. Jez, we are spilling over with ideologically-driven selective deafness and blindness on all sides.

      I have strong opinions on the handling of personal data, since I had my identity stolen thanks to the Federal Department that performs security clearances on military members.

      I could write a book, but don't take such a dim view of what goes on in social media.Don't overshare and don't unquestioningly lap up everything you see.

      Corps and the finance industry know everything about us, and they sell it, which I think should be illegal and punishable by jail time. This will never happen, because politics thrives on using, manipulating and abusing our personal information.

      Short of that, I would like the law to recognize that we no longer have control of our own data, and therefore cannot be legally held liable for its misuse. Somebody takes out a mortgage on a McMansion in my name? Not my problem. If you can't prove it was me who signed those papers and then defaulted, Mr. Financial Industry, YOU eat it, not me.

But I can see how an undisciplined discourse is undesirable too: in my opinion, Trumpesque speech shrinks thought more than laws against inflammatory language.

      Just the other day, a DC City councilman blamed Jews for manipulating the weather and making his city unseasonably cold. Nobody called for him to be tried and jailed; it's not against the law to be a bigoted kook spouting inanities.

      At last we have a president who says what he means, means what he says, and does not shrink from calling a spade a spade. HALLELUJAH! For this he is routinely vilified by the hypocrites, namby pamby, dull-witted cowards, seditious fiends, and self-righteous imbeciles in positions of influence.

      President Trump predicted Tuesday night that Republicans "will keep the House majority" after November´s midterm elections -- and warned of dire consequences if they didn´t. Speaking to the National Republican Congressional Committee´s annual March fundraising dinner in Washington, the president warned that Democrats would block efforts to secure America´s borders and try to raise taxes. "They´re actually working right now to increase taxes and I´m saying, ´How do you lose to that?´" Trump said. "They want to increase taxes. Maybe they´ll call that tax reform."

      Our public discourse was already a nuthouse bedlam of idiots before President Trump came on the scene, and he has only made it worse; but he has also forced some clarity and a harsh realization of facts in some areas.

      Free Speech and nothing less. Some have argued that the right has risen in Europe as a result of shaming and silencing anything outside globalist progressive orthodoxy. At some point, people won't put up with than anymore, and you get a reaction that is worse than if you had just broadened the discourse a little.

    2. Z, I'm not sure what he was originally charged with. Circles within circles, wheels within wheels.

      Different degrees of murder, different degrees of manslaughter and homicide.
      Laws are different in different states and Murder is not a Federal crime in most circumstances.

      State and local prosecutors aren't exactly the cream of the crop among lawyers and political considerations take top billing over matters of law. Most are hesitant to press 1st degree murder charges for political and financial reasons. Small communities can actually face bankruptcy due to automatic appeal and retrials over a period of years. Millions of dollars can be spent and have been spent and justice may not be served at all.

      My best guess would be that it could be done but whether the local politicos have the guts to do it is another. After all, the County Prosecutor is an elected official usually with his sights on higher office. Usually, the Prosecutors Office - read elected Prosecutor - refuses to pursue the case mumbling about; the best we could do under the circumstances.

      Law and Justice aren't interchangeable.

      I'd have to read up on California law and the entire manuscript of the trial before I could give you an accurate opinion.

      Last month I was on a jury involving felony theft and felony possession of handguns. The BATFE, Indiana State Police, The FBI crime lab, local sheriffs and police were involved. Quite frankly, I don't know if the suspect was guilty or not but all the cops involved came off as keystone cops and failed to prove their case - badly failed. We found the defendant not guilty.

      I talked to the judge after the case and he said as much - i.e. the verdict was correct and the State didn't prove its case. My point being, we just don't know what happened in the court room.

      And yes, he deserves defense....although I struggle with illegals getting the same free defense Americans get. Maybe that's not fair on my part...I can see both sides to that, Ducky, but mostly I do feel Americans deserve and have more rights than those who've broken our laws.

    3. Whether he's illegal or not he has a right to counsel during trial in an American court.

      Obama was active deporting illegals who had committed crimes(excepting residence). I don't know that this guy had done anything to get himself on the radar before he found the gun.

      Right now ICE is actively detaining illegals but the there is such a backlog for deportation hearing that deportations are down.

  8. Z... where do you get that he was shooting "into" a crowd? On purpose? With intent to kill? Everything I've read plainly states that he claimed in court that the gun accidentally went off, and then the bullet ricocheted, hit and killed the person.

    Now, there's a lot of other stuff wrapped up there, starting with his being here illegally, or without papers. The prosecution had a slam dunk negligent homicide, but to satisfy a political need, chose to bring a first degree murder charge instead. He's a bad dude and deserves to be in jail, if not here, then back in Mexico.

    But, and this is a frequent issue for folks, for whatever reason, folks want to charge people with the biggest charge, regardless of whether that charge can lead to a conviction. Prosecutorial overreach is rampant, and then when those guys lose, the public blames the system.

    Why aren't people getting accurate info before wading in on these issues and then why are they not holding the DA and his or her assistants accountable, not for losing, but for bringing trumped up charges that are unwinnable?

      He said he saw a classmate with a gun to his own head as a school resource officer rounded a corner at the Southern Maryland school. Tichenor ducked back inside the classroom as he heard shouting.

      Rollins may have shot himself, or Gaskill’s bullet may have hit him, but the whole incident lasted less than a minute, Cameron said.

      Authorities initially said Rollins shot the male victim after shooting the female victim but later said they needed to investigate further before determining whether he shot both.

Even if the officer missed and hit an innocent student, and the shooter killed himself, without the officer's gun forcing an end to the situation, there would have been no resolution to the crises, and dozens could have been killed.

      3. Shooter shoots ex girlfriend. In shootout with resource officer he is shot and the officer hits bystanding student as well.

  15. What a load of crap that there was no charge on which he could be convicted. Every state (even moonbat California) has a depraved indifference category of murder (2nd degree) right below the malice aforethought intentional murder (1st degree). Firing a gun blindly into a crowd is the epitome of just that.

    Has anyone considered that the prosecutor deliberately overcharged him hoping for this ultimate acquittal? Or, if it didn't work, he could always boast of a 1st degree conviction even though there was no specific intent. Then he could boost his career at the expense of this hapless, forlorn individual.

    Raises questions eh?
