Democrats for Pig-Gutters
It’s a small demographic, I grant you, but potentially a key one in a close race:
An immigrant suspected of being in the United States illegally - freed after being shielded from possible deportation by San Francisco officials despite committing two gang-related assaults as a juvenile - faces charges that he tried to stab a man to death last year in San Mateo County, authorities say.
The case of Eric Antonio Uc-Cahun, now 19, a native of Mexico, is the second in which a youthful offender protected from deportation in San Francisco has later been arrested for a violent crime as an adult.
The San Mateo County stabbing was especially vicious, authorities said - a top prosecutor said the victim had been “gutted, like you gut a pig.”
Uc-Cahun’s history of youth offenses in the city was similar to that of Edwin Ramos, a 21-year-old Salvadoran native facing triple-murder charges in connection with the slayings in June of a San Francisco man and two of his sons on an Excelsior district street.
…
Juvenile justice officials protected both Ramos and Uc-Cahun from federal authorities under their interpretation of San Francisco’s sanctuary law, which bars the city from cooperating in U.S. efforts to hunt down illegal immigrants.
Now hold on, I hear you say, what about the vicious crimes committed by real, red-blooded Americans? How are they any better or worse than those committed by illegal aliens?
To which I can only acknowledge your valid point. The pig—sorry, victim—on the other hand, may not be so generous.
General question for our readers: how many Democratic policies do you have to disavow before you realize you’re not really a Democrat anymore? Aggie and I reached our fill a few years ago, and any answer is okay by us—but is this really a policy that represents your views and values?
