Ben Shapiro

On Thursday evening, a California jury ruled that Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, the illegal immigrant who killed Kate Steinle in San Francisco, was not guilty of murder or manslaughter. Zarate had been deported some five times in the past, rearrested, and then released again despite federal request for detention; since San Francisco is a sanctuary city, local law enforcement refused to reply with the request, and let him go instead.

The verdict is not reasonable.
