I pass by the pier where Kathryn Steinle was killed probably six times a week. Never did I think that beautiful spot would become such fertile ground for campaign demagoguery. Donald Trump has found the perfectly-timed tragedy that kinda sorta supports his racist message. The senseless killing of Steinle in San Francisco by a five-times-deported felon from Mexico has unfortunately become a central part of the current presidential campaign.
Yes, there are some real screw-ups that allowed the alleged killer to freely wander the streets of San Francisco and the city sanctuary policy definitely needs to be clarified, but where is the outrage about gun violence in the United States that happens day in and day out? I don’t seem to remember Donald Trump issuing any statements about the person I saw dying on the sidewalk a few years ago after getting shot outside a burrito shop. There should really be a thirty-day waiting period for political opportunism.
There are so many important issues involved in this awful case of random gun violence, I hope it doesn’t remain solely an applause line in a Donald campaign speech.you know Trump did create an opposite effect than intended pointing out that incident brings to question the gun and availability and the fact that he chose the incident as his reason for bigoted racist rants broad brushing a race with accusations not proven or having anything to do with the death. it's called opportunistic denigration and the attitude of those on the republican side it took 2 weeks for anyone to say anything remotely considered as a denouncing and then only because of pressure i must say from media noting their silence.
