And the Difference Between "Not Responsible" and "Irresponsible" Is...?

The family of a father and two sons who were shot dead on a San Francisco street in 2008 can't hold the city responsible for failing to turn their alleged killer over to immigration authorities after earlier arrests, a judge has ruled. [More]
That, of course, is the same city where the majority of the population want to do this:
Proposition H, which requires city residents who already own guns to turn them in to police by April 1, was winning 58 percent to 42 percent with 98 percent of precincts counted.
Let's hear it for "home rule"!

And let's hear it for domestic enemies and their useful idiots!

And while we're at it, let's hold them responsible.

San Francisco voters took a stand Tuesday against military recruitment on public school campuses, voted to keep firehouses open and approved the nation's toughest ban on handguns by making it illegal for city residents to possess them



The city isn't legally to blame for any crimes Edwin Ramos, a suspected illegal immigrant from El Salvador, committed after his release for the offenses he committed as a juvenile, Judge Charlotte Woolard of San Francisco Superior Court said Monday.

Cities "generally are not liable for failing to protect individuals against crime," Woolard said.



SF residents: You are f**ked

The judge's decision will be upheld. It is not right, it isn't even in comport with the law. But it will be upheld because if it is not the precedent will have been set that cities and city officials can be held accountable for their crimes.

Had SF not committed the crime of circumventing the law by not reporting this individual to ICE he would have been unavailable to kill anyone in SF. SF's crime was an initiating factor in the murders. And were they to be held accountable it would be 1) very expensive which would 2) cause a lot of finger-pointing and eventual scapegoating of someone on criminal charges to allay further investigations of crimes by city officials.

Judges, by and large, being for sale will uphold Woolard's ruling because this protection has already been bought and paid for with bonuses to come if they perform in conflict with everything we know to be right,legal and moral.

When are the real men in the nation going to stand up and crush this BS?????? Is there anybody living in SF that hasn't locked their balls away forever??????? How much more can we stand?????? Do more than three people including myself that read the articles at this site and similar sites feel like nobody really wants to stand up to this insanity???????
There should be 5,000 armed gun owners show up at city hall and have a very serious discussion with the police (read public servants) that the "cold day in hell" has arrived!!!!!!!!!! Our Founding Father have to be hanging their heads in shame at how spineless the average American gun owner really is. COWARDS!!!
