Liberals fail

The sheriff and mayor of San Francisco both claim that there was “no ‘legal basis’ to hold (the) shooting suspect” that killed the young woman in their fair city recently.

Do they both really believe that saying that makes it OK that their city’s inaction cost this beautiful young lady her life? Do they really believe that it’s OK that their refusal to follow federal laws cost this man his daughter? More importantly, does the voting public get it yet?

The liberal political party running this state cares more about illegal aliens staying in this country, even those who are criminals, than they do about the safety of the tax-paying citizens who are paying their salaries!

The president is no better. His administration has had absolutely nothing to say about this brazen murder since it happened; a murder that would never have happened if the Democrats in charge of San Francisco and the federal government had merely done their jobs.
