Illegal Alien Affirmatively Protected from Prosecution by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom Goes on to Open a Popular Flower Shop and Contribute to His Community as a Taxpayer and Good Citizen
And by "open a flower shop," I mean he murdered a father and his two sons.
I'm way behind on this one, but in case some of you have missed it, this is perhaps the worst illegal-immigrant-goes-on-death-spree story ever. It's not just that this man could have been deported years ago (and should have been). It's not just that San Francisco is a sanctuary city which passively, by sins of omission, chooses to allow violent foreign illegal lawbreakers live in the city to threaten and kill citizens.
No, this goes a bit further than that. San Francisco affirmatively aided this guy, affirmatively helped him avoid deportation. Deliberately. Not through negligence or ambivalence or passivity. They actively chose to help this murdering bastard keep one step ahead of the feds so he could go on to murder citizens.
The man charged with killing a father and two sons on a San Francisco street last month was one of the youths who benefited from the city’s long-standing practice of shielding illegal immigrant juveniles who committed felonies from possible deportation, The Chronicle has learned.
Edwin Ramos, now 21, is being held on three counts of murder in the June 22 deaths of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. They were shot near their home in the Excelsior district when Tony Bologna, driving home from a family picnic, briefly blocked the gunman’s car from completing a left turn down a narrow street, police say.
Ramos, a native of El Salvador whom prosecutors say is a member of a violent street gang, was found guilty of two felonies as a juvenile - a gang-related assault on a Muni passenger and the attempted robbery of a pregnant woman - according to authorities familiar with his background.
San Francisco had -- has, rather -- a policy of providing free trips, no questions asked, for juvenile illegals back to their home country -- with the intent of helping them avoiding being picked up by the feds and formally deported (or jailed). They'd help juvenile illegals get out of town just long enough to evade ICE, so that they could sneak back in later without legal consequence.
Michelle Malkin comments:
This is what the feel-good Sanctimony City policies bring upon their law-abiding citizens–and on the rest of the country. San Francisco had two opportunities to deport a violent felon with (if you’ll read a little further in the article) ties to the MS-13 gang, and they didn’t do it. They can’t even plead incompetence–the sanctuary policy worked exactly as it was intended.
The City of San Francisco wanted to keep criminal illegal alien juveniles like Edwin Ramos in San Francisco–or, at least, somewhere inside the United States. They were willing to frustrate a federal law to do so. And a devastating, preventable triple murder occurred because of their policy.
Here's a video of a woman doing a job Americans don't want to do -- namely, burying her murdered husband and sons.
Open borders advocates note that the illegal immigrant triple-murderer contributed to the economy by providing business opportunities to morgue beauticians and embalmers, and also spared the American taxpayer the high costs of paying for the men's healthcare as they aged.
