SAN FRANSANITY! Celebrates TEN YEARS of Occasionally Posting Shit.



 
What a long strange trip it's been, comrade!

Ten years ago today (well... give or take 6 months) San Fransanity was born as a way for one man to work through his recovery from Liberalism.  

Many things have happened in that decade, as happens in all decades.

But nothing ever really changes, so here I am back again for yet another stab at this blog that will go on for at least several weeks!

I've been doing Facebook, but I am reluctant to post how I really feel there (not to mention that 90% of my friends are Liberals... I live in Marin County).  So I'm putting the juicy stuff here.

Thanks for visiting and let's do this!

Bad News for 49ers! Eric Reid Gravely Injured! Too Weak To Stand For National Anthem!


As if the Niners didn't have enough problems, it now appears that strong safety Eric Reid is so weak, that he can't even stand up for the National Anthem!

"Certainly we're worried about Eric's condition," said head coach Kyle Shanahan.  "When you can't muster up the energy to stand for the Star Spangled Banner... well, let's face it... that's pretty fucking lame.  Further more, there's no way you should be on the field."

We couldn't agree more.  If Eric Reid is so weak that he cannot even stand for the National Anthem - the anthem of the country that gave him his multi-million dollar job to play a game - the anthem of the country that lets him keep most of it - the anthem of the... well you get the idea.

Kill 'Em All!



 As you all know by now, the goat-fuckers have hit Paris hard.

The filthy Muhammedens have gone too far - or just far enough - to make the hippies of the world wake up and face reality.  Almost.  Still I read on Facebook all the pussy pacifists hoping that peace and love will prevail.  I wish it could.  But it won't.



The simple fact of the matter is that war is a fact of life.  Period.  And no amount of hippie philosophy will change that.  War will always be with us.  It's part of the human condition.  It is part of life on Earth.  

Love it or Leave it.




"Do you understand, or do I need to draw you a picture?!"

SF Examiner Imbecile and Lying Sack of Shit Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez Loves Those Illegals!

The tagline under Commie fruitcake Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez' column "On Guard" (in the 'so good they can't give it away' SF Examiner) states 'It's a newspaper's duty to print the news and raise hell!'

Notice the phrase 'To Tell the Truth' is nowhere to be found.

Once again the Left Propaganda machine jumps into full force when Bill O'Reilly calls out the illegal alien killer-loving SF Government...

San Francisco’s least favorite conservative mouthpiece is mouthing off again, and this time, Bill O’Reilly is targeting Supervisor Malia Cohen.

And what did the Bayview and Potrero Hill neighborhood supervisor do to get on the drooling old-man’s bad side? 

She stood up for (ILLEGAL) immigrants in the face of insanity. 

As the Examiner has covered, the Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to affirm The City’s Sanctuary City laws, in a blow to conservatives who wanted to re-write (ILLEGAL) immigrant protections in the wake of Kate Steinle’s death. Sadly, if you’ll recall, she was allegedly killed by a gunshot from Juan Francisco-Lopez Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant released from county jail (like you care, Joe). 

But as Cohen so eloquently pointed out at the board meeting, though Steinle’s death was unfortunate, and awful, one incident does not wipe away a quarter-century of safer immigrant communities – made possible by an effective law.

(As that lying sack of shit Rodriguez well knows, this isn't one awful incident.  Apparently it effects the memory, because as you will recall it wasn't that long ago when three members of the Bologna family were murdered by an illegal alien gang member repeatedly shielded from ICE by SF's policies).
 
“We cannot allow one event to dictate twenty five years — twenty five years of our city’s policies towards undocumented immigrants in our city,” she said at the board. “And more importantly, more importantly, we cannot allow hateful conservative news stations to drive how we respond to incidents in our city. I’m not afraid of Fox News and they don’t influence how I make my policy decisions here in San Francisco.”

On the O’Reilly factor last night, the blithering conservative pinhead (to use his choice in words) blasted Cohen by name.

“That woman is a disgrace, and if I were the attorney general of the United States, I would immediately place her under arrest,” he said. “I might not win the case, but I would send a message to all subversive office holders in this country, that if you do not obey federal law, you yourself will be prosecuted.”

He calls San Francisco “hopeless” for releasing a seven-time felon, completely glossing over the fact that none of those felonies were violent – if they were violent, that would dictate different action on the part of San Francisco.

(Again, you're a lying sack of shit, Joe!  You know as well as anyone that, in San Francisco, this makes NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!)

Of course, glossing over facts is the usual O’Reilly method – “pinhead,” indeed.  (Well... you would know, Joe!)

Thankfully, O’Reilly isn’t attorney general, or even a low level-political flunky. He’s just a mouthpiece, and a poor one at that.  (No... our Attorney General is a groomed flunky who slept her way to the top, and who changes ethnicities like most people change underwear.  And of course the Left Propaganda machine loves her because she has a soft spot for illegal alien killers).

Cohen declined to comment, saying “Responding to these comments would take away from the issue and set up a philosophical fight, separate from the real policy issue at hand. I do not see the benefit in continuing the debate.”

(And, of course, no one in this Liberal One-Party State will dare step out of lockstep and call her - or anyone else - on their bullshit.  To them a dead white woman is a bonus.)

'Drifter' Murder Suspects Back In Bay Area To Face Murder Charges « CBS San Francisco

 Video of dirtbags being taken to Marin County booking.  Never trust a white person with dreads!

'Drifter' Murder Suspects Back In Bay Area To Face Murder Charges « CBS San Francisco

To No One's Surpirse, Dirtbag With Long Rapsheet ID'd as Shooter

So here we go... the trio of Natural Born Killers (read: Liberals on Meth) have been returned to Marin County - the very seat of justice - and have been arraigned on murder charges.  To no one's surprise, the guy with the really long rap sheet has been ID'd as the shooter...

Three young drifters accused of two Bay Area killings were scheduled to make their first court appearance Wednesday in Marin County, as authorities identified which of the defendants they believe used a stolen pistol to kill a hiker and wound his dog near Fairfax.

Prosecutors said the triggerman in the Oct. 5 slaying of 67-year-old Tantra teacher Steve Carter in the Loma Alta Open Space Preserve was Morrison Haze Lampley, 23, who among the accused has the most serious criminal background (which anyone who does a websearch on his name can see).

Lampley, already on probation and parole for past offenses, was charged with personal and intentional use of a firearm in Carter’s death.

Lampley is charged along with Lila Scott Alligood, 18, and Sean Michael Angold, 24, with capital murder in the alleged cold-blooded killing of Carter as well as Audrey Carey, a 23-year-old Canadian backpacker whose body was found Oct. 3 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

The Marin County district attorney’s office accused the threesome of lying in wait to kill Carter to rob him of his station wagon and other possessions. The three were arrested in Portland, Ore., two days later after investigators tracked them using the GPS in the stolen vehicle.


Though investigators did not identify who allegedly pulled the trigger in the shooting of Carey, they believe the three drifters also killed her in pursuit of her belongings. According to court documents, Lampley, Alligood and Angold had Carey’s camping gear, passport and airline tickets with them when they were arrested.

While all three face a series of charges — including murder, second-degree robbery, car theft, possession of stolen property and possession of a stolen car — Lampley was also charged with animal cruelty for allegedly wounding Carter’s Doberman pinscher.

Lampley’s criminal past involves drug, weapons and theft cases. Most recently, he was charged in May in San Diego County with the selling or receiving of a stolen vehicle, a felony, and with stealing a dog, a misdemeanor. He pleaded guilty to the felony charge, got 97 days in jail and was placed on probation.

San Francisco police said the same Smith & Wesson handgun was used to kill both Carey and Carter, and that the firearm had been taken in a car burglary in a residential area near Fisherman’s Wharf sometime between late Sept. 30 and early Oct. 1.

The gun was in a lockbox in an unlocked car, police said, and both the pistol and lockbox were later recovered from the suspects. None of the three was charged with stealing the gun, though, with investigators saying there was little surveillance video in the area and no witnesses have come forward.

Marin County District Attorney Ed Berberian said it was too early to say whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.  (This is a bit worrying.  MCDA Ed Berberian is frankly a bit of puss.  He was the asshole who chose to maliciously prosecute a Marin resident for justifiably defending himself with a firearm after a road rage incident.  He is one of those Liberal imbeciles who think that 'the gun' is the real killer.  Furthermore, like most Liberals, he is a killer-lover and I will eat my hat if Marin County pushes for the DP in this case.  And, like most Liberals, Berberian saves his compassion for the guilty instead of the innocent.  Just because he's a DA doesn't change this.  I mean, look at Ross Mirkarimi!)


“We have a very involved process that we follow in this county,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

“We seek input from the law enforcement agencies involved, we will be reaching out to the families of the victims for their thoughts, and we will be even making it possible for the defense to give us their input as well (certainly to a larger extent than they deserve).”

The Archdiocese of San Francisco performed blessings Tuesday near the sites of the two killings.

In Golden Gate Park, Daniel Nascimento, pastor at St. Anne of the Sunset Catholic Church, led the short service at the site of Carey’s slaying. With eyes shut tight and a furrowed brow, he clutched an orange binder of Scriptures as he prayed that the Carey family be comforted and the perpetrators be forgiven. He took out a tiny vessel of water and doused the liquid over dried leaves on the ground and surrounding trees.

“May her blood not bring upon more bloodshed,” he prayed. “Through this holy water may it wash clean.”

Hey Folks!

Hi!  Just wanted to say I'll be closely following the Kate Steinle murder and the 'Dirtbag Killers' saga.  Just not tonight :)  Gotta work in the morning!

This is important because it will weigh heavily on the Senate race in 2016.  The reason is that Kamala Harris - despicable killer-lover and the person who currently passes for "top cop" in this insane asylum called California - is a front runner, along with LA's Loretta Sanchez.  Both of them suck shit, both are open-borders zealots, both of them are perfectly fine being point person for the continuing Cultural Genocide of America.  But Sanchez is relatively unknown in the North, as Harris is equally unknown in the Southland.

All hail the Democratic Party's latest "anointed one"- a dishonest, racist, whoring, killer-loving scumbag.  And this piece of trash wants to be in the US Senate.


I promise I will do my utmost to expose Ms. Harris for the race-baiting, killer-loving scumbag that she is.

The "Dirtbag Killers" Saga Begins!

The 'Dirtbag Killers' saga begins!  In just a few days we'll get a better look at the three Bernie Sanders' voters who (allegedly) murdered a man on a trail near Fairfax and - get this - shot his fucking dog.  What kind of a shitbag shoots a guy's dog?  These are the people that Liberals say we need to be compassionate to and try to understand.  Which just goes to show how truly insane they really are.  These people don't need to be understood.  They simply need to be stopped.

See the average Liberal has some pretty fucked up idea about crime.  They believe that  - in this society - we are all just ticking timebombs waiting to go off, and that any of us would do the same thing if the cards were stacked against us.  This is -of course- pure bullshit.

The truth of the matter is easily evident to anyone who looks... that a very small percentage of the population is responsible for a very large percentage of the crime.  Look at crime rates in comparison to the implementation of "three strikes" laws.  It's an exact match.

But now, the Liberal perverts are letting people out of jail to assuage their white Liberal guilt.  Crime will go up - not like the Liberal scum care... to them dead white people is a bonus.

So let's see what's in store for us.

This is SERIOUS... Even the Rabidly Pro-Illegal SFGate is Holding Off

When even the rabidly pro-illegal alien SFGate refrains from publishing Leftist editorials apologizing for SF's murderer-shielding Sanctuary City Policy, you know it's serious!

Instead, they bring in the conservative (by Bay Area standards) Debra Saunders...

July 1 was one of those evenings when you feel blessed to be in San Francisco, especially if you are strolling along Pier 14. But every reader knows what happened next: A bullet struck Kathryn Steinle, 32, as she walked arm in arm with her father. Neither knew what had happened; the shot killed a vibrant woman — for which an illegal immigrant with seven felony convictions and five deportations has been charged. (Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez has pleaded not guilty.) Tuesday, less than a month later, Jim Steinle found himself where he never thought he would be — testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee to advocate for commonsense changes to sanctuary city policies to prevent crimes “at the hands of a person who never should have been on the streets of this country.”

You might think no parent could experience anything more painful, until you hear the testimony of Laura Wilkerson of Texas. In 2010, her youngest son Josh, a senior in high school, was murdered by a 19-year-old undocumented immigrant. Before strangling Wilkerson, Hermilo Moralez beat her son so brutally that his head split in four places. According to the Houston Chronicle, Moralez was a citizen of Belize who had been charged with misdemeanor harassment earlier that year. A jury found Moralez guilty in 2013(And, sadly, her story is not unique.  Illegal aliens murdering Americans is commonplace now, thanks to fucking assholes like San Francisco's Bolshevik Board).

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a Republican, is working on legislation to block some federal funding to sanctuary cities that, like San Francisco, do not comply with federal immigration detainers. His bill also would set a minimum sentence of five years for illegal re-entry. Like Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has urged San Francisco to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Grassley has a handle on the destructive consequences of sanctuary policies.

Would Grassley’s bill stop another senseless murder? It won’t stop them all. And yet: If Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi had handed Lopez-Sanchez over to ICE, the feds would have deported him and he would not have been in San Francisco on July 1 (not like he cares). To go by his rap sheet, however, Lopez-Sanchez would have been back in the U.S. in short order: He wouldn’t stay in Mexico and he couldn’t stay out of jail. In 1998, Lopez-Sanchez was sentenced to 63 months for illegal re-entry. Within months of his deportation, he had crossed the border. Next: 71 months for illegal re-entry. Three months after his release, he was caught again. Next: 66 months, then a trip to San Francisco, where he was released. Thank you, City Hall.  (And thank you President Obama, and Bush, and Clinton, and Bush Sr. for not securing the border in the first place!)

First the pro-undocumented lobby erased any distinction between legal and undocumented immigrants (and are now trying to erase any distinction between violent and non-violent criminals, like we should allow ANY foreign criminals into the US) — with the argument that most people here illegally are otherwise law-abiding residents. OK. Does City Hall think it’s doing these folks a favor by blocking the deportation of habitual criminals who can slip into their neighborhoods and disappear? (So it's a numbers game, basically... I mean, what's a dead white woman to these racist pricks?  A bonus, basically.  And I will go into this in much more detail in a later post, but SF's Sanctuary City Policy was designed from the very beginning to shield violent criminals - specifically gang members - thanks to so-called "immigrant's rights groups" who were basically to MS-13 and the Nortenos what Sinn Fein is to the IRA).

Wilkerson told the Judiciary Committee, “Sanctuary city policies scream to the criminal element of illegals in this country: ‘Come to our town USA, we’ll protect you from our terrible policemen. We’ll protect you from these tough American laws.’”

San Franciscans like to think that they are sophisticated. Sure, they are so smart they can tell the world: Immigrant felons, here is your sanctuary.

Meanwhile, that septic tank of Bay Area journalism - the SF Examiner - has printed some truly unbelievable editorials apologizing for SF's murderous Sanctuary City Policy and even doubling down on it, but more on that fucking bullshit later.

The San Francisco Examiner... the Bay Area's Septic Tank

What a horrible thing it is to see the once great (well, decent anyway) San Francisco Examiner turn into the septic tank of Bay Area news.

What was once a halfway reasonable alternative to the one-party Liberal state has turned into just another '100% Liberal, 100% of the time" pseudo news site.  Like the Chronicle, they now field a small cadre of Communist sympathizers writing most of their news (I'm looking at you, Jonah Owen Lamb!), and their opinion page is just a mouthpiece of local Left-wing "non-profits" making a good living sucking off the very generous tit of San Francisco - who can fund non-profits to the tune of half a billion dollars a year, yet somehow can't find $11 million to save the Old Mint - a national landmark.

While the comment sections of the Examiner were always a joke, the paper felt the need to get rid of them completely, demonstrating their commitment to democracy and debate.  Since the only people commenting on their stories were people who called them out on their bullshit, they responded like the Fascists they are and just silenced all debate.

And if that weren't enough, they've now introduced their "afterdarksf.com" section.... basically a place where the local "gentleman's clubs" (read: strip clubs but much more expensive) peddle their wares with ads featuring some of the ugliest whores you've ever seen.  Go ahead and check it out... I dare you.  You'll swear off sex for life.

Just goes to show how hard up this phony news site is.  You can't really stand up for neighborhood standards when most of your income comes from places just short of brothels.

To Dream.... The Impossible Dream...

In an almost unprecedented display of common sense and rationality, District 2 Supervisor Mark Farrell is introducing a "Package of Public Safety Reforms" to try to reign in the abominable insanity of San Francisco's Sanctuary City Policy.

Here's the press release in its entirety...

Supervisor Mark Farrell to Introduce
Package of Public Safety Reforms 

Supervisor Mark Farrell will call on the Sheriff to immediately rescind his Department gag order, request the City Attorney draft legislation mandating the Sheriff coordinate with the District Attorney prior to transporting prisoners back to San Francisco, and submit a Letter of Inquiry to the Sheriff regarding Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez

 
SAN FRANCISCO - At today’s Board of Supervisors meeting, in response to the Sheriff’s July 16, 2015 letter requesting legislative clarification from the Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Mark Farrell will introduce a package of public safety reforms, including:

(1) Legislation confirming the Board of Supervisors’ support of the existing Sanctuary City and Due Process Ordinances and calling for the Sheriff to immediately rescind his department-wide gag order banning any communication with federal immigration authorities;

(2) a formal drafting request to the City Attorney’s office for legislation mandating the Sheriff receive confirmation from the District Attorney that the office will prosecute any outstanding warrant prior to transporting a prisoner to San Francisco from another jurisdiction; and

(3) a Letter of Inquiry to the Sheriff inquiring why the Sheriff held Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez in county jail for more than two and half weeks after he should have been released.

“The public safety of San Francisco residents unequivocally comes first,” stated Supervisor Mark Farrell. “Our Sanctuary City law has been a pillar of public safety policy for decades in San Francisco, but unfortunately this Sheriff has implemented additional ideological policies that fly in the face of not only our local laws but federal law as well, and it must come to an end,” said Supervisor Mark Farrell.

Supervisor Mark Farrell’s legislation that he will introduce at the Board of Supervisors meeting today is straightforward. The legislation affirms support for the City’s Sanctuary City and Due Process Ordinances and calls on the Sheriff to immediately rescind his March 13, 2015 memo that ceased all communications with federal immigration authorities.

On March 13, 2015, the Sheriff issued a memo that ordered the Sheriff’s Department to cease all communications with federal immigration officials. On July 13, 2015, The Deputy Sheriffs Association, which represents the rank and file members of the Sheriff’s Department, issued a letter to the Sheriff stating that, “the Department’s refusal to coordinate, much less cooperate, with federal law enforcement agencies recklessly compromises the safety of sworn personnel, citizens, and those who merely come to visit the San Francisco area.” On July 14, 2015, Mayor Lee also issued a letter directly to the Sheriff requesting that he immediately rescind his departmental policy immediately in the interest of public safety.

Additionally, Supervisor Mark Farrell will formally request that the City Attorney continue drafting legislation that would mandate that the Sheriff receive confirmation that the District Attorney would bring charges against an individual before the Sheriff’s Department is allowed to expend City resources transporting any prisoner into San Francisco from another jurisdiction.

“I believe this is a public safety question, not an immigration issue, and it is time we re-framed the discussion,” stated Supervisor Mark Farrell. “Regardless of the specific charges, it makes zero sense to transport an individual in custody outside of our jurisdiction back to San Francisco, only to have the District Attorney immediately dismiss the charges, and the Sheriff release the individual onto our City streets.”

Supervisor Mark Farrell will also formally submit a Letter of Inquiry asking why the Sheriff, seemingly in violation of the 4th Amendment and other federal and local laws, held Sanchez for more than 14-days in jail after the District Attorney dismissed charges on the 20 year-old outstanding warrant. Supervisor Farrell has asked that the Sheriff respond to the Letter of Inquiry in writing by July 28, 2015.

“Donald Trump, Fox News and everyone else who sought to take political advantage of the recent tragedy should be ashamed of their behavior,” said Supervisor Farrell. “Nevertheless, we cannot be afraid to examine our existing laws and policies and look at common-sense reforms.”

Supervisor Farrell’s legislation calling on the Sheriff to immediately rescind his department gag order will be sent to committee and receive a hearing before a full vote at the Board of Supervisors, which is anticipated to be in September. Supervisor Farrell expects to formally submit his legislation creating new requirements for the Sheriff's Department in early September when the Board of Supervisors returns from its August recess. 


Yes... you read it right.... a San Francisco Supervisor introducing legislation that is not batshit insane.

Please take a moment and encourage this well-meaning man to continue his impossible mission to bring a modicum of common sense to the criminally insane Board of Supervisors by clicking here and dropping him a note.  Thank you!

Supervisor Mark Farrell the Latest to Attack the Liberal Windwill

News from the SF Examiner and resident Communist sympathizer Jonah Owen Lamb discusses District 2 Supe Mark Farrell's recent brush with sanity.  Unfortunately, it will do no good in a town where 99% of the people governing it are certifiably insane....


After weeks of political mud slinging over who’s at fault for the events that led to the shooting death of Kathryn Steinle, a proposal intended to prevent such incidents has emerged in City Hall.

But some critics (read: Communist trash) say the proposal is a betrayal of The City’s sanctuary status for undocumented immigrants and yet another attack on the (rightly) embattled (psuedo-) sheriff.

On Tuesday, Supervisor Mark Farrell made public his three-pronged proposal in reaction to Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi’s recent (cold-blooded and completely insincere) request of Mayor Ed Lee and the Board of Supervisors to clarify how city agencies should deal with federal immigration officials.

“The public safety of San Francisco residents unequivocally comes first,” Farrell wrote in a statement (obviously being new to SF politics). “Our Sanctuary City law has been a pillar of public safety policy for decades in San Francisco (which is complete bullshit but more on that later), but unfortunately this sheriff has implemented additional ideological policies that fly in the face of not only our local laws but federal law as well, and it must come to an end.”

While many San Francisco lawmakers (scum-sucking pussies that they are) have said they are against changing The City’s Due Process for All Ordinance, the proposal requests Mirkarimi to rescind his department’s policy that bars most (more like "all") communication with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Farrell also proposed a resolution supporting The City’s sanctuary status (not like he had a choice) as well as a hearing to give law enforcement more guidance on the subject.

Lastly, Farrell is proposing a law mandating the (illegal alien killer-loving) Sheriff’s Department check with the (illegal alien killer-loving) District Attorney before transporting prisoners on a warrant to ensure the charges won’t be dropped.

The man who allegedly shot and killed Steinle, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, was brought back to San Francisco on a 20-year-old warrant for marijuana possession, but the charges were subsequently dropped and he was released two weeks later.

Lopez-Sanchez has since pleaded not guilty to murder charges and is expected to appear in court Wednesday (where both the DA's office and Public Defender's office will try in tandem to get him the lightest sentence possible).

The package of reforms, as Farrell’s office is calling it, was sent to Mirkarimi in letter form and also includes a request for the sheriff to explain why his department held Lopez-Sanchez for two weeks after he should have been a free man (which he definitely should NOT have been).

The ongoing blame game emerged after the July 1 shooting death of Steinle, whom Lopez-Sanchez allegedly killed after being released from County Jail in April.

ICE officials had asked the Sheriff’s Department to hold him for deportation, but city law bars cooperation with immigration officials unless the person has been convicted of and faces a violent felony (and even then the City still let them go).

While Farrell’s proposals mirror those made by the mayor’s office in recent weeks, at least one lawmaker says it’s one more attempt to blame the whole affair on (the rightly blamed) Mirkarimi.

“[Farrell’s] resolution attempts to affirm the Due Process for All Ordinance while weakening it by allowing the sheriff to use his discretion beyond the intention of Due Process for All,” (scum-sucking pussy scumbag fuckwad) Supervisor John Avalos told the San Francisco Examiner via text message.  (Basically, affirming that Due Process for All is intended to shield all illegal immigrants from federal authorities - including gang members, rapists, murderers, and even mass-murderers.)

“Farrell appears to be jumping on the ‘scapegoat the sheriff’ bandwagon,” (murderer-loving faggot) Avalos continued. “Many San Francisco public officials, from the mayor on down, assume the sheriff is so unpopular that they can tell him he should handle ICE requests in a different way than we had required and intended in the Due Process for All Ordinance that we all supported (and is fucking wrong - ethically, morally, and legally).”

Avalos was the primary author of the Due Process for All Ordinance (and is a TURD).

“There’s a national spotlight on San Francisco,” Avalos said, adding the result will weaken the local sanctuary and public safety protection, thereby allowing for a more right-wing vision of national immigration reform to prevail.  (God, where do I begin with this?  Avalos is a KILLER-LOVING FAGGOT who doesn't give a fuck about public safety.  As far as this piece of human garbage is concerned, a white woman dead is a BONUS.  In case you haven't figured it out yet, I hate this  RACIST BASTARD.  Why couldn't it have been you that was shot, you waste of skin???)

Sheriff’s officials say they’re looking forward to Farrell’s proposed hearing to clarify The City’s laws and give guidance over communication between the Sheriff’s Department and ICE (certainly the UNION is - who supported the much less insane Vicki Hennessey over Mirkarimi in the last election).

But the proposal’s other elements are more problematic, said Mark Nico, an attorney for the Sheriff’s Department.

Nico said the existing ban on communication is not complete because the department will tell ICE when someone is in custody (yeah... sure they will), what they are being charged with and other details of the case. But the department will not tell ICE of the release date, as it would essentially circumvent a prisoner’s constitutional rights (which - in San Francisco - is always more important than the rights of the innocent).

As for the proposal to mandate communication with the DA on charging decisions, the Sheriff’s Department already does so on warrants in which the DA has jurisdiction (yeah... sure it does). But bench warrants — used in the Lopez-Sanchez case — and court orders are issued by a judge and are beyond the DA’s jurisdiction, Nico said.

Fake News Site Calls Trump Fake News

The Huffington Post - that Left-wing propaganda machine posing as a news site - has decided that they would erase any doubt as to its contempt of reality by announcing that it will no longer "report" stories about Donald Trump in their "political coverage" section (translation: their lying political hit pieces will no longer be found in the "Coronation of Hillary" section).

In a one paragraph denial of reality, Ryan Grim ("Washington bureau chief") and Danny Shea ("Editorial Director" and, I'm assuming, chief blog-aggregator) wrote...


After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.


Which is not saying much, as half the stories on HuffPost's main page usually involve The Kardashians or The Bachelorette! 

Interestingly enough, some of the HP's readership for some reason didn't agree with the move... 

... It's incredibly childish, and is a fine example of why our country is going down the toilet. Let Trump destroy himself! Don't boost him up by acting like a bunch of children. What kind of Editorial Director makes a decision like this? I think Trump is the WORST kind of person, but you can't remove a front-running presidential candidate from political coverage and expect to be taken
seriously.

 ...L.R. is right. Is this a neutral, unbiased news organization or a propaganda spinning op-ed blog? Any candidate in national politics should be reported without discrimination. Failure to do so makes it no longer a news organization.

... H.M... After reading this whole thread - I have to agree with those who think this is a bad or childish move on the part of HP. They could just not cover him very much like they do most of the 15 or so Republican candidates, but that they ANNOUNCED it, is cheap and childish and seems more designed to get attention than any real political reason. I think it is a cynically obvious move to create buzz for themselves. You say their coverage of Trump "takes away" coverage from more serious candidates. Where is that coverage? So far - HP mostly just makes fun of outrageous or stupid comments by candidates - like Santorum or Cruz and occasionally Rubio. Rand Paul has dropped off the HP page, and just about everybody else but Jeb haven't been mentioned since they announced. There hasn't been much of any discussion of any of the candidates policies. HP's political coverage so far is more like an entertainment page already.

... The same "justification" was used to disregard Bernie Sanders because a lot of the media didn't consider him to be a serious challenge to Hillary.  It's not up to HuffPo to decide which candidates we should support. If they are in the running and they are polling in #1 or #2 among likely primary voters, then not covering them as serious Politics is a huge disservice to their readers.

... Trump has 17% of the 15 candidates who are running, which means he's a frontrunner for the GOP nomination at this point. It doesn't matter at this point how many people are paying attention or even how many voters turn out for the GOP primaries. Most of us know he's a joke, but if his campaign isn't properly reported, he may just be joking himself right in to the general election. Ryan Grim and Danny Shea are being lazy, not responsible.

But, for the most part, the Progressives are cheering - as they cheer any attempt to silence anyone who disagrees with them rather than proving them wrong - and are marching in goosestep to the Left-wing pied piper.



 

19.2 Times a Day

Embedded in this snippet about Dianne Feinstein's half-condemnation of SF's Sanctuary City policy - and the Bolshevik Board's latest ass-covering session - is an interesting little factoid.

If you think what happened with Kate Steinle is an isolated incident, an aberration... think again.

Between Jan 2014 and June of 2015, California sanctuary Cities denied ICE immigration detainer requests a total of 10,516 TIMES!  

By comparison, the entire rest of the country combined had 6,983. 

Put another way, that means that California sanctuary cities ignore ICE detainer requests and release possibly dangerous illegal aliens onto the streets an average of 19.2 times... 

EVERY 

SINGLE 

FUCKING

DAY.

No wonder Scott Weiner doesn't want to talk to Fox News.  Nobody likes to be exposed as either criminally ignorant or a complete liar.

Meet the New Bums... Same As the Old Bums...

Debra Saunders' latest in the SFGate is a poignant reminder of what happens in an ideological one-party state, where democracy is just a cruel joke... where the "will of the people" means nothing when the elites hold "the people" in such deep contempt...

When voters don’t like a policy, they can throw the bums out, right? But what do you do when everyone with a chance of winning likes the policy you want to terminate? That’s the challenge facing San Franciscans and Californians who want to change Sanctuary City policies in the wake of the senseless killing of Kate Steinle on July 1.

Mayor Ed Lee signed the 2013 Due Process for All ordinance. Lee maintains that Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi is to blame for the reckless release of seven-time convicted felon Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez (who has pleaded not guilty) not the policy. Lee faces no serious opposition.

The supes passed that measure unanimously. The Chronicle has reported that none of the 11 supervisors has declare a desire to change the policy. As I noted in a recent column, some supes seem angrier at Fox News than the senseless killing of Kate Steinle.

What about giving the Sheriff the boot? It would send a message. But then opponent Vicki Hennessy supports the Sanctuary City law. As The Chronicle reported after a recent debate.

Both candidates said they support the policy, consider the fatal shooting a tragedy and are appalled that it’s being used to demonize the immigrant community.

Who is demonizing the immigrant community? Equating Lopez-Sanchez with the immigrant community is a slur in itself.

In the 2016 election, there are not a lot of choices either. Attorney General Kamala Harris is the lead Democrat to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is retiring. Harris blames Republicans for the release of Lopez-Sanchez. She told Carla Mariniucci:

“What needs to be looked at is..comprehensive immigration reform — that’s the bottom line. Let’s not react to one specific case, when we are looking at a national problem.”

Harris of course has her own history with Sanctuary City policies. But it didn’t hurt her when she ran to become the state’s top law enforcer in 2010. As I wrote at the time.

To start, Harris was in charge when her office aided and abetted in a dangerous misinterpretation of the city’s 1989 sanctuary city law. City officials refused to notify federal immigration officials when police arrested juvenile offenders – or offenders who claimed to be juveniles – on felony charges.

Under her watch (for lack of a better word), the city flew drug offenders to Honduras. When federal authorities stopped this practice in 2008, the city sent eight Hondurans who had been convicted to group homes, from which they escaped.

One Sunday afternoon in June 2008, San Franciscan Tony Bologna, 48, was driving home with his sons, Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. All three were shot dead. Police charged Edwin Ramos, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who had been arrested for several felonies as a youth but apparently benefited from the city’s liberal sanctuary policy.

Of course, many San Franciscans were appalled. But did Harris then comb through her files to make sure that no similar cases existed? Apparently not. A month after the triple slaying, police arrested an illegal immigrant enrolled in a Harris job-training program for offenders after he snatched a woman’s purse.

Harris has a Democratic rival in the Senate primary, Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County told the Associated Press, “I caution against politicizing this tragedy. This is a time to grieve, not a time to manipulate a senseless killing to fit a political agenda.”

The only elected Republican hopeful isn’t exactly holding the AG’s feet to the fire. In a press statement, GOP Assemblyman Rocky Chavez said

This case isn’t about immigration. It’s about public safety.

The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department didn’t target Juan Sanchez for his immigration-status, and rightly so. But when they had the five-time deported and seven-time convicted felon in custody for violating the law, they ignored the request of a federal agency and failed to protect the public.

Let’s ask ourselves how we’d treat a U.S. citizen who broke the law and was wanted by a federal agency. Would we release the citizen? It looks like we’re giving non-citizens more leniencies when they break the law than our citizens – and that’s a broken system that doesn’t protect the public.

We desperately need immigration reform in this country that respects families but protects the public from repeat offenders. Our law enforcement must follow the law and work together with federal agencies to keep us safe, and this time they failed the public.”

Note that Chavez failed to mention Harris’ support of Sanctuary City policies, although he did get in a swipe in at Republicans in Congress.

Former state GOP chairman Tom Del Beccaro, who also is running for Boxer’s seat, told The Associated Press local governments “just can’t thumb their nose at federal law.” He told me, “Immigration is uniquely federal.” Del Beccaro notes that Chavez did not vote on the state’s Sanctuary City law; Chavez took a walk. “On this major issue,” quoth Del Beccaro, “he was nowhere.”

Former GOP chairman Duf Sundheim may jump into the race. I’ll add his take when he is ready to share. 2012 candidate Al Ramirez may get in as well. He tweeted, “I was always clear this is a law and order issue. Time for Latinos to get off the wrong side.” Insiders don’t think a Republican has a shot at the top-two primary — the runoff could be a race between Harris and Sanchez in November — but you never know.

The bottom line is that San Francisco voters who want a change in policy ought to direct pressure at incumbents to change their views on the 2013 ordinance. If they try to throw the bums out, they’ll just get like-minded bums. The options are better for 2016, but not great. Those are the breaks in a one-party state.

Broke-Ass Stewart Says SF Needs a New Flag - and WE COULDN'T AGREE MORE

Broke-Ass Stewart - a longtime SF fixture and recently so down on his luck that he's writing for the Examiner - has put out the call for a new City flag...

/http://www.sfexaminer.com/its-time-for-a-new-san-francisco-flag/

Here's the old flag... It's not without it's charm...



But arguably it should be updated.

So... Stewie my man.... HOW'S THIS...

In the center of the flag is a man on his knees.  He may or may not be homeless, but he certainly looks homeless, in tattered and filthy clothing.  He is smiling maniacally, with crazy eyes (possibly achieved by gluing on those plastic googly-eyes). He's holding a 40 oz bottle of malt liquor in his left hand, and a large knife dripping blood in his right.  He's wearing a grubby white tank top with the words "I AM YOUR GOD" emblazoned on it.

At the man's knees on either side are two small limousines, where well dressed people are seen shoveling money at his feet.  Two women on either side are holding up aborted fetuses as a sort of Aztec human sacrifice - though this would possibly be too much detail - unless it was a very large flag - which would mean it would probably have to be on that pole in the Castro - which the community probably wouldn't like - but, y'know... fuck 'em.

And you've gotta have a ribbon underneath it with some pithy saying in Latin.  I don't know the Latin translation is, but my vote is for, "Dicks in Peace, Pussies in War."  Or, if you've got some problem against Latin for some reason, you could always go for that typical SF motto, "If It Ain't Broke... BREAK IT."

As for the color, rather than just have a border in gold, you could just make the whole flag yellow, through a mandatory one-week soak in a large bucket of urine.

Oh sure there are other little details you could add... putting Che Guevara's face on the homeless guy, a background motif of alternating dollar signs, peace signs and upside-down pentacles... but you get the main idea.

Sleazeball Mirmarimi Cries Crocidile Tears, "Asks" for "Clarity" on SF's "Don't Talk To ICE EVER" Policy

You gotta hand it to that fuckwad Mirkarimi, very few people are as good at covering their asses.

http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-sheriff-calls-for-clarity-regarding-communication-with-feds-on-undocumented-persons/

Here's the thing... Mirkarimi doesn't give a fuck about Kate.  Or public safety - at least not where "normal" people are involved.  Mirkarimi's job - as a termed-out Leftist Supervisor who lucked out when he got elected to the Sheriff's job in a town where people are too doped up to think things through - is the protection of society's freaks.  

Mirkarimi never for a second gave a second thought to the havoc what would be wrought by shielding criminals from ICE.  Not even after the Bologna Family murders.  And he still doesn't care.  The fact that he's suggesting that it go before the Bolshevik Board shows what a pussy he is.  The very same "activist groups" - read gang-affiliated neighborhood pressure groups - that got this insane sanctuary city policy put in in the first place will pressure the Board and commit physical violence against anyone who dares to speak up.

The only hope here is that Ed Lee grows a pair of nuts and stands up to the Board.  And, at some point, the business leaders of San Francisco are going to have to put some weight into it as well.  If they're not too busy counting the profits from cheap, illegal labor.

We Are All Kate

Well... here we go again.


Once again, to the surprise of absolutely no one who knows the truth, we are mourning the death of yet another innocent American citizen murdered by an illegal alien who was shielded from deportation by San Francisco's insane Sanctuary City policy.

Once again I have to get on this blog and rant and bitch and moan at a City (and State and Country) that simply doesn't care.

But you motherfuckers are gonna get it.  With both barrels.

San Francisco will never change.  It is a 7x7 mile cesspool of human garbage that will always vote for the biggest pervert who represents the complete antithesis of American values.

San Francisco will never change.  But it can be shamed, isolated, exposed for the anti-American, anti-common sense, anti-justice, anti-human freakshow that it is.

There will be much much much MUCH more about this.  

About Kate.  

About the illegal alien killer.  

About the City that shields him.  

About the ultra-left fucktards like Mirkarimi and the rest of the Bolshevik Board.  

About the imbecile Scott Weiner, who shows himself to be just another Bolshy with his dismissal of Fox News.
 
About the neutered Mayor Ed Lee.  

About the worst President in American history - who can offer personal condolences anytime some black thug gets his ass rightly shot off but is completely silent when one of his precious illegal aliens blows away an innocent white woman.

About the scum sucking Mass Media showing themselves for the Leftist, Hillary Clinton boot-licking trash that they are.

Oh yes.  LOTS MORE TO COME.  My guess is from now till the election.

Fuck You Jeb Bush

The powers that be long for the clash of the House of Bush vs. the House of Clinton (mostly because they want Hillary to win, which she assuredly would).

But Jeb Bush is a piece of shit.  A RINO to end all RINOs.  This race would simply be who is the better Democrat, which Hillary would win slightly, despite the fact that she would be more under Wall Street's thumb than Bush.

Bush does not stand a chance in fucking hell of beating Hillary.  Because he's only slightly less of a Liberal scumbag than she is.

Have You Gotten Your Affluenza Shots?

Today a woman came into work and was almost apoplectic with rage... because people with SUV's and pickups were parking in the "compact" zones.

I just wanted to grab her by the collar and yell, "You could be living in fucking Syria right now.  You could be in Mali or Nigeria and being dragged off by Boko Haram.  You could be in fucking Yemen or Somalia.  So shut the fuck up and thank God you live in a place where you can be offended by such tiny, insignificant things."

I didn't do that though.  I just nodded with her and agreed.  After all, it's a cruel world out there and we're all in this together!

Antioch Hood Nigger Set To Get Life For Raping Pizza Delivery Girl

Just when you think you've seen the lowest of depravity, this pops up...

A 17-year-old boy charged as an adult in connection with the alleged kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery of a woman delivering Domino’s Pizza in Antioch was wearing a GPS ankle monitor, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Darrion Miles Jr., 17, appeared in Contra Costa County Superior Court in Martinez on Wednesday on felony charges of forcible rape, sodomy, oral copulation, digital penetration, kidnapping, robbery and making criminal threats.

He did not enter a plea and was held at juvenile hall in lieu of the $6.4 million bail.

Authorities would not say why Miles had been outfitted with an ankle monitor, but Miles referred to his “po,” or probation officer, on his Facebook page, which is peppered with derogatory references to women.

The attack happened after the 22-year-old woman arrived at a home on the 2800 block of Bluebell Circle about 11:20 a.m. Sunday to deliver pizza, police said.

She was getting out of her car when she was confronted at gunpoint by Miles, who forced her into her car, told her to drive to a second location about a quarter-mile away and sexually assaulted her, prosecutors said.

He then forced her to drive back to the first location, where he fled on foot after taking some of her personal property, police said. The woman returned to the restaurant, and police were called.
Officers arrested Miles at the home where the order had been placed. His father, Darrion Miles, has denied that his son committed a crime, suggesting to reporters that the sexual contact was consensual.

17 years old.  Seven-fucking-teen.  What kind of an asshole raises his son to be a fucking Lifer at 17?  I'll tell you who... Darrion Cocksucker Miles, Sr. that's who.  This despicable hood nigger has the unmitigated gall to come out and claim the old "white bitch wanted it" defense.  DNA don't lie, faggot!  Your son is going to jail for life, and it's your fault you fucking lowlife nigger.  He should have his fucking dock chopped off - and if you had you're fucking dick chopped off then maybe this whole thing wouldn't have happened!

I used to work at a pizza parlor back in the 80's... and even in Marin County, CA - the epicenter of white Liberal faggotry - we had a rule... we DO NOT DELIVER TO THE PROJECTS.  Back in those days we didn't give a fuck about "racial profiling" because we weren't yet perverted enough to deny the TRUTH.

Domino's is probably going to get sued for putting this woman in harms' way... AND THEY SHOULD BE!  Political correctness or no... you do NOT SEND A 22-YEAR OLD WOMAN TO DELIVER PIZZA BY HERSELF TO A NEIGHBORHOOD OF MOTHER-FUCKING HOOD NIGGERS!

I can't imagine what it must be like to be the manager of that Dominos - to have your driver come in bruised and battered and say, "I need to talk to you" - I guarantee you that if that manager was a Liberal... he isn't anymore!

God, I fucking hate hood niggers.  And if there's one thing I hate more than hood niggers... it's the white Liberal faggots who worship them!

Gotta LOOOOVE this... from said hood nigger's FB page...

"this psychic bitch ina city just told me I will experience death ina painful way at the age 19"

Maybe 18?  HAHAHAHA you stupid fucking NIGGER.

Instead of Throwing Rice, Can We Throw Grenades?

Charles Manson is getting hitched... although I would prefer that he get "hitched" to the back of a Semi and dragged down Highway 99...

http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/article/AP-Exclusive-Charles-Manson-gets-marriage-license-5899163.php

This is why I'm such a staunch defender of the Death Penalty. How long must we all hear about this a**hole? It's bad enough for us normal people, but what about the families of the victims of this sick, deranged subhuman? And how long must our tax money go to housing, feeding, clothing, and now marrying, this man who should have been put to death decades ago? How many more lives is he going to destroy with his sickness? How many more minds is he going to pervert with his continued writings? How long will he continue to be a cult hero to the sicker elements of our society.

Those who say that life-in-prison-without-parole is an acceptable alternative to the Death Penalty are WRONG. A killer behind bars is still capable of doing massive damage to society - whether they be the mafia boss ordering hits from prison, or the gorilla terrorizing other inmates, or the deranged lunatic still cultivating disciples.

All I know is, that when Richard Allen Davis goes, I'm going up to Petaluma for a major party!

Smart Phones Claim Another Life

Another young life has been tragically cut short, thanks to that incarnation of pure evil known as the smart phone....

Cynthia Silva had always instructed her daughter to keep one of her earbuds out when she spoke on her cell phone or listened to music. She figured that if the teenager tuned out her surroundings, she'd be robbed of the gadget.

Silva had no idea cell phone distraction was powerful enough to end her daughter's life on the train tracks near their home.

But a growing problem that has caught the attention of federal safety officials and train operators played out Monday evening in San Leandro, where 18-year-old Brittney Silva - a college-bound high school senior - was struck by an Amtrak train as she spoke on her phone, just yards from her home.

A man tried to warn the teenager as the train approached at 5:55 p.m. along Hesperian Boulevard, but she "did not respond to the witness, possibly as a result of her not being able to hear him," said San Leandro police Lt. Rick DeCosta.

'Upset and distracted'

Brittney Silva had been using earphones while apparently talking with her father, with whom she was having an argument, said her stepfather, Brian Crist. "She was upset and distracted," he said.
The teenager was found 50 yards south of the intersection. Her bright pink phone, which Crist had bought her, was found nearby.

Witnesses told police that the railroad crossing arms were functioning properly at the time of the collision. The southbound Capitol Corridor train came to a stop several hundred yards after the impact, and none of the 83 people aboard was hurt.

Silva was no stranger to danger on the tracks, as Amtrak trains pass by her home daily. Still, she apparently lost herself in her phone call.

"I've told my kids time and time and time again until I was blue in the face - and I will tell all of the youngsters out there - when you're walking down the street and you got your headphones on, keep one headphone in and one headphone out so you can hear the world around you," Cynthia Silva said Tuesday.

"Because I believe that if she had listened to me and done what I said, she would have heard the train coming."

Makeshift memorial

A friend of the victim's, 18-year-old Lillian McLean, suggested that Brittney Silva was like many cell phone users: "When she has her headphones in," she said, "she's just in her own little world."
Another friend, 17-year-old Theresa Lavoy, said, "It really taught me that I really need to listen to my surroundings and not just be doing my own thing, because you really can't see the train coming from over here."

The two left flowers at a makeshift memorial along the tracks. During their visit, an Amtrak train hurtled past, sounding its horn. Students at San Leandro High, where earphones are banned, wrote messages of remembrance.

Friends and family mourned the loss of a teenager who they said loved roller coasters, horror movies and animals and overcame a difficult home life to push herself in school and study calculus and chemistry.

She had been accepted to UC Santa Cruz, Humboldt State University and California State University East Bay in Hayward. She had hoped to become a marine biologist or obstetrician to "bring babies into this world," Cynthia Silva said. Her daughter had just opened up her own bank account and had begun a job at a yogurt shop in Dublin.

"She had the whole world in the palm of her hand," she said through tears.
Melody Silva, 11, said her sister "was very nice. She was very respectful, and everyone loved her. She would always dance, and she would always give me great advice about life."

Accidents rising

There are no definitive statistics on the number of distracted cell phone users who have been hit and killed by trains, but authorities say accidents involving pedestrians on cell phones are clearly on the rise.

More than 1,500 pedestrians were treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for injuries suffered while walking and using cell phones, double the numbers from five years before, according to a nationwide survey. More than half of the adult cell phone users in a Pew Research Center survey in 2012 reported bumping into or being bumped by a distracted cell phone user.

Silva's death is the second cell-phone-related train fatality of a teen in the East Bay in recent months. In March, 14-year-old Jenna Betti was killed by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway freight train in Martinez after she tried to retrieve a cell phone she had dropped on the tracks.
Despite public awareness campaigns focused on pedestrians being distracted by cell phones, "more and more people are being distracted around train tracks," said Amtrak spokeswoman Vernaé Graham.

With a high number of both train lines and open track crossings, California leads the nation in pedestrian fatalities on train tracks each year, said Peter Aadland, executive director of California Operation Lifesaver, which is part of a national rail safety education group.
In 2013, there were 119 deaths on the tracks, compared with 112 the previous year. The statistics cover accidents but do not include suicides.

"I would say that for all these fatalities, they're virtually all preventable," Aadland said. "Anytime you're around a train, a heightened level of awareness to make decisions is encouraged."

Disregarding dangers

Many people don't realize how fast trains are going and think they can beat a train, while some regard a railroad right-of-way as a park where they can jog along the tracks or walk their dogs, experts say.
In some case, pedestrians ignore crossing arms and flashing lights to cross tracks after a train has passed, only to be hit and killed by a train traveling in the opposite direction.

I see it all the time... people driving or walking distracted, too caught up in their fucking gadgets to pay attention to what is going on more than two feet in front of their faces.  And now, another beautiful young woman is dead, because of these 3x5 inch death devices.

Fuck you Apple, Samsung, and all of you purveyors of death!  

Parents... DO NOT GIVE YOUR CHILDREN SMART PHONES.  You may as well just give them razor blades to slit their own wrists with.  Smart phones make people STUPID.  How many more children must die?  How much more proof do you need???

Richard Allen Davis Deathwatch: Day 6,497

Richard Allen Davis - sadly - is still alive.

And leave it to the criminal-loving liberals at the New York Times to praise the killers among us...

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. — It is not every newspaper editor who can point to a black-and-white surveillance photograph from a 1996 bank robbery and say that he was the robber.

But then again, The San Quentin News — which was recently honored by a chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for “accomplishing extraordinary journalism under extraordinary circumstances” — is hardly a typical newspaper.

Founded in 1940 and then revived as a serious journalistic enterprise six years ago, the monthly News, which bills itself as “The Pulse of San Quentin,” is the state’s only inmate-produced newspaper and one of the few in the world. The paper’s 15 staff members, all of them male felons, write from the unusual perspective of having served an estimated 297 ½ years collectively for burglary, murder, home invasion, conspiracy and, in one case, a Ponzi scheme.

In a notorious prison best known for its death row, the men are committed to what Juan Haines, the 56-year-old managing editor, who is serving 55 years to life for that 1996 bank robbery, calls “boots on the ground” journalism, accomplished without cellphones or direct Internet access. “It’s about being heard in a place that’s literally shut off from the world,” he said.

From their newsroom trailer next to the prison yard, where inmates work out amid spectacular views, the reporters and editors delve into issues at “the Q,” as San Quentin State Prison is sometimes called, as well as those far beyond its walls. They have covered a hunger strike, crowding in California’s women’s prisons and a federal court order concerning mental health care for California death row inmates.
But the paper specializes in stories that can be written only by journalists with a “uniquely visceral understanding of the criminal justice system,” said Arnulfo T. Garcia, the paper’s editor in chief, who is serving 65 years to life for a long list of crimes that includes burglary, robbery and skipping bail to flee to Mexico.

Lately, the paper seems to be gathering momentum. Editors, who sometimes work through dinner over ramen noodles, are talking about expanding the current circulation of 11,500. Students from the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership at the University of California, Berkeley, have helped them develop a 12-year business plan that would increase the number of paid subscribers to help subsidize the free copies for inmates.

This year, the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists gave The San Quentin News one of its James Madison Freedom of Information Awards.

Some people find the possibility of a higher profile alarming. Marc Klaas, president of the KlaasKids Foundation, whose 12-year-old daughter, Polly, was kidnapped at knife point from a sleepover and murdered in 1993, said that he was “vehemently opposed” to an inmate-produced publication being accessible to the public.

“These men are behind bars for a reason — so we can be protected from them,” Mr. Klaas said. “I don’t think that criminals serving time should have the opportunity to influence the hearts and minds of law-abiding citizens.” Richard Allen Davis, convicted in 1996 in the murder of Polly Klaas, is on death row at San Quentin.

Robert L. Ayers Jr., a former San Quentin warden who retired in 2008, said that positive outlets were important for prisoners. He said he decided to revive the publication as a quality journalistic endeavor rather than what he called an “inmate rant rag.”

“When they get involved and see they’re accomplishing something, that could be the one positive tick mark in the ‘good’ column for them,” he said. In learning how to write, he added, “they start expressing themselves in ways other than physical or violent means.”

The paper’s recent coverage has included an article about an inmate who was denied a compassionate release (“Judge Slams the Door on Cancer Patient, 81”) and a profile of transgender inmates that highlighted the lack of availability of bras at men’s prisons.

One inmate on the staff, Glenn Padgett, 50, said that his work felt redemptive. “I’m just trying to give back, to deal with the rips and tears I’ve made in the universe,” said Mr. Padgett, known as Luke, who, at age 33, stabbed a man to death and set fire to his home to cover up the killing.

Prison officials vet all the content. This year, the news operation was suspended for 45 days after a photograph of a Shakespearean play performance was swapped without approval. This prompted Watani Stiner, a columnist, to write, “We are once again reminded that we are prisoners first and journalists second.” (Mr. Stiner, 66, escaped in 1974 from San Quentin, where he was serving a life sentence for conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting deaths of two Black Panthers, and fled the country. Asked by a visitor how he escaped, he replied, “Real fast.”)

Like a small-town paper — San Quentin has a population of 3,855 — The News covers sports (including the San Quentin Giants and the A’s), arts and entertainment, new babies born to the paper’s advisers, folksy holiday greetings and man-on-the-street interviews, San Quentin-style. “We can go right into the yard and get a quote about how inmates are affected by policy decisions,” Mr. Haines, the managing editor, said. Its issues are typically 20 pages and are available online. A yearly subscription costs $40 for members of the public.

The paper is distributed to 17 prisons in addition to San Quentin, where it is considered a must-read by correctional officers. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation does not pay for printing or distribution; the paper survives on grants, donations and subscriptions. A team of outside volunteer advisers — including students from the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, led by William Drummond, a former Los Angeles Times reporter — provides editorial and research assistance. So does Richard Lindsey, a former staff member who was paroled last year and now combs through studies from the Vera Institute of Justice, the Pew Research Center and other sources on the web. He delivers his research on a flash drive to the prison’s public information officer, who passes it on to the paper’s staff.

“The leading public health problem in prison is boredom,” said Franklin E. Zimring, a law professor and criminologist at the University of California, Berkeley. The newspaper, he said, “is an operational antidepressant that keeps its participants structured and psychologically well organized.”

Inmates are often drawn to stories that prompt self-reflection. In an interview, one correctional officer described a call he had received from a friend who said, “Your baby’s dead.” That was how the officer had learned that his 19-year-old son had been murdered in a case of mistaken identity.

“I know I was out there perpetuating the same hate,” said Richard Richardson, a news designer who was convicted of a gang-related home invasion and other crimes. “I don’t want people to think we’re not thinking about our victims. Because we are."

I will still - no matter where I am - race to Petaluma and drink a toast with the natives when that sub-human son-of-a-bitch dies and goes to hell!
