On August 7, Hal Gordon (not his real name) a San Francisco resident, double-parked his Toyota Sienna in front of an apartment building, hoping for a parking space to open.
As he sat behind the wheel, a man came up to the driver’s window and started berating him for using his emergency brake lights. The next thing Gordon knew, the stranger was throwing punches at him through the window.
After a passenger in Gordon’s car stepped out of the vehicle, the attacker got back into his own car—a green Jeep—parked behind Gordon’s.
Then—wham!—the Jeep plowed into the back of Gordon’s Toyota Sienna. Luckily for Gordon and his passenger, both were wearing seat belts.
The Jeep then took off, with Gordon giving chase. About a block later, both cars stopped at a red light.
That was when Gordon took out his cell phone, turned on its camera, and took a photo of the license plate of the road-raging Jeep.
And that was when the Jeep suddenly backed up—right into the front of Gordon’s car. Then the Jeep sped off.
Gordon decided to file a police report. So he and his passenger then drove to Central Station of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD).
At the front desk, they were each given an incident report page to fill out. They agreed on the appearance of the attacker: A white male, 50-60 years old, about 5’6″ tall, with gray, bushy hair.
And both driver and passenger gave separate interviews to the uniformed desk officer.
A subsequent record check on the license plate revealed that the Jeep was registered to a female resident of San Francisco, whose address was given.
That was on August 7.
Almost three months have since passed–and neither Gordon nor his passenger has been contacted by the SFPD. Nor, to their knowledge, has an arrest been made of the road-raging assailant.
For anyone familiar with the workings of this agency, none of this will come as a surprise.
In 2002, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a series on the need for major reforms within the SFPD. Among its findings:
- Violent criminals who preyed on San Francisco’s residents and visitors had a better chance of getting away with their crimes than predators in any other large American city.
- A victim who was shot, treated at a hospital and then released was not guaranteed an investigation—unless he could name his assailant.
- Inspectors often investigated cases from their desks—by phone—rather than leave their offices to interview victims and find evidence.
- Due to budget cuts, violent crime inspectors lacked such basic investigative tools as portable radios, cell phones and even cars.
- No formal performance standards existed in the Inspectors Bureau. Inspectors were required to provide a monthly account of their activities, but were not evaluated on performance.
- Police needed only to make an arrest to claim a crime as solved or cleared, without regard for what happened in court.
- Police also could list a crime as solved for “exceptional” reasons. These included: The suspect was dead or in jail elsewhere, extradition was denied or the victim wouldn’t cooperate.
Most citizens would expect the top priority of the SFPD to be protecting citizens from crime. But in Politically Correct San Francisco, the SFPD Police Commission makes protecting the “rights” of illegal aliens its most important goal.
San Francisco is one of 31 “sanctuary cities” in this country: Washington, D.C.; New York City; Los Angeles; Chicago; Santa Ana; San Diego; Salt Lake City; Phoenix; Dallas; Houston; Austin; Detroit; Jersey City; Minneapolis; Miami; Denver; Baltimore; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; New Haven, Connecticut; and Portland, Maine.
These cities have adopted “sanctuary” ordinances that forbid municipal funds or resources to be used to enforce federal immigration laws, usually by not allowing police or municipal employees to inquire about a suspect’s immigration status.
Anyone who believes that Political Correctness isn’t a killer need only ask the family of Kathryn Steinle.
Kathryn Steinle
Steinle was gunned down on July 2, 2015, while out for an evening stroll with her father along the San Francisco waterfront.
Steinle, 32, had worked for a medical technology company.
And her charged killer?
Francisco Sanchez, 45, has a history of seven felony convictions. He’s been deported to his native Mexico five times, most recently in 2009.
Francisco Sanchez
On March 26, agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) turned Sanchez over to San Francisco police on an outstanding warrant.
On March 27, a San Francisco Superior Court judge dismissed charges of possession and distribution of marijuana against Sanchez.
Sanchez was released on April 15.
ICE had issued a detainer for Sanchez in March, requesting to be notified if he would be released. But the detainer was not honored.
So Sanchez was released on April 15–-without anyone notifying ICE.
Seventy-eight days later, illegal alien Francisco Sanchez crossed paths with American citizen Kathryn Steinle-–and killed her.
Robert F. Kennedy, during his three-year tenure as Attorney General, said it best: “Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.”

LEGAL CITIZENS NO MATCH FOR ILLEGAL CRIMINALS
In History, Law, Law Enforcement, Politics, Social commentary on December 1, 2017 at 12:32 amPolitical Correctness kills.
If you doubt it, ask the family of Kathryn Steinle.
Kathryn Steinle
Steinle was shot on July 2, 2015, while out for an evening stroll with her father along the San Francisco waterfront. They were walking near Pier 14—one of the city’s busiest tourist areas—when a pistol shot rang out.
Steinle, hit in the aorta, collapsed, crying, “Dad, help me, help me.”
Her father immediately gave her CPR before paramedics arrived and rushed Steinle to a hospital, where she died.
Steinle, 32, had worked for a medical technology company.
And her accused killer?
Francisco Sanchez, 45, had a history of seven felony convictions. He had been deported to his native Mexico five times, most recently in 2009.

San Francisco has been a “sanctuary city” since 1989. Its officials—acting as though they govern a city-state instead of a small, tourism-dependent city—openly defy Federal immigration laws.
Thus, city and local money cannot be spent on cooperating with Federal immigration authorities.
According to Freya Horne, counsel for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, Federal detention orders were not a “legal basis” for holding someone.
So Sanchez was released on April 15—without anyone notifying ICE.
Seventy-eight days later, illegal alien Francisco Sanchez crossed paths with American citizen Kathryn Steinle—and Steinle died.
San Francisco does not turn over illegal aliens to ICE unless there’s an active warrant for their arrest.
It’s a policy shared by cities openly defying Federal immigration laws and their enforcers.
San Francisco is just one of 31 “sanctuary cities”: Washington, D.C.; New York City; Los Angeles, Chicago; Santa Ana; San Diego; Salt Lake City; Phoenix; Dallas; Houston; Austin; Detroit; Jersey City; Minneapolis; Miami; Denver; Baltimore; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; New Haven, Connecticut; and Portland, Maine.
But the Steinle case is is not the first time San Francisco officials have defied Federal immigration authorities—with brutal consequences for American-born citizens.
One of those officials—Kamala Harris—is now California’s Attorney General.
Kamala Harris
From 2004 to 2011, Harris served as San Francisco District Attorney. In total defiance of Federal immigration law, she set up a secret unit to keep even convicted illegal aliens out of prison—and in the United States.

Her program, Back on Track, trained them for jobs they could not legally hold.
One such alumnus was Alexander Izaguirre, an illegal alien who had pleaded guilty to selling cocaine. Four months later, in July, 2008, he assaulted Amanda Kiefer, a legal San Francisco resident.
Snatching her purse, he jumped into an SUV, then tried to run Kiefer down. Terrified, she leaped onto the hood and saw Izaguirre and the driver laughing.
The driver slammed on the brakes, sending Kiefer flying onto the pavement and fracturing her skull.
The program, Back on Track, became a centerpiece of Harris’ successful 2010 campaign for State Attorney General.
Until she was questioned by the Los Angeles Times about the Izaguirre case, Harris had never publicly admitted that the program included illegal aliens.
According to Harris:
From 2005 to 2009, 113 admitted drug dealers graduated from Back on Track. Another 99 were kicked off the program for failing to meet its requirements. They were sentenced under their guilty pleas, the District Attorney’s office claimed.
Meanwhile, Amanda Kiefer left California.
Interviewed by the Times, she said she could not understand why San Francisco police and prosecutors would allow convicted illegal aliens back onto the street.
“If they’re committing crimes,” she said, “I think there’s something wrong that they’re not being deported.”
On November 30, 2017, more than two years after Steinle’s death, a San Francisco jury acquitted Sanchez of second-degree murder. He was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Sanchez claimed that he found the gun wrapped in a piece of cloth under a swivel chair at the pier. He said he picked it up and it accidentally fired, hitting Steinle in the back.
Thus, the lives of illegal aliens—even those with a criminal background—are deemed more valuable than those of law-abiding American citizens.
