As a recent San Francisco refugee, this did not surprise me, particularly..

The whole sanctuary thing is ridiculous. A lot of PC posturing....

There has been a lot of trouble with Juvenile SF illegal alien gangbangers escaping from Juvenile detention centers too.

Maybe it took something as horrible as this to fix it. All the politicians and city officials are pointing fingers and making excuses.


The SPFD Gang Task force should have caught this. The perp is a member of the murderous MS 13, one of the worst criminal street gangs in the world.

From wiki:

Mara Salvatrucha refers to large gangs in Central America and the United States. The gang names are commonly abbreviated as MS, Mara, and MS-13, and are composed mostly of Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and other Central Americans. The Mara Salvatrucha gangs have cliques, or factions, located throughout the United States and Latin America.

The gang has moved beyond its Salvadoran and American origins and now can be found in other nations, including Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Spain, Great Britain and Germany, according to international press on criminal activity. Membership in the United States was believed to be as many as 10,000 as of 2005....

The gang is known for its street graffiti, which is used to depict their presence on certain blocks and also sometimes provides clues to their forthcoming crimes, including murder, robbery, narcotics, and especially as a prediction of retaliatory violence.

Former gang member Brenda Paz said that MS is well structured, with multiple leaders, and that the gang's goal is to become the top gang in the United States.


***********

The leniency of US authorities in dealing with them, incredibly, has made El Salvador itself,where they are from, a more terrible and dangerous place than it ever was, because of those of them that came back to El Salvador, or who were deported there, after a dose of American (so called) "justice".

They should have been executed without a trial and the bodies hung on a lamp posts for a few days; it is the only language they understand.
