Election Over … Daniel Lurie is in the lead … mission Local results.

In memory of Kate Steinle …

Killing of Kate Steinle – July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was shot and killed while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco. The guy that fired the shot that killed  her – a José Inez García Zárate of Guanajuato, Mexico, was an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009.  And got off scott free thanks to a George Soros district atternty …  Last words from Kate to her father, “I am dying” … so sad  … And to the politicians in Sacramento and Washington DC – do a better job.
