Patterico's Pontifications

it sure ain’t no sanctuary for jobs

In our weekly survey of ten of Chipotle’s markets, we found the company implemented price increases in half of the surveyed markets this week—San Francisco, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Orlando. In most markets, the price increases have been limited to beef and average about 4% on barbacoa and steak, toward the lower end of management’s expectation for a 4% to 6% price increase on beef.

San Francisco, however, saw across-the-board price increases averaging over 10%, including 10% increases on chicken, carnitas (pork), sofritas (tofu), and vegetarian entrees along with a 14% increase on steak and barbacoa. We believe the outsized San Francisco price hike was likely because of increased minimum wages (which rose by 14% from $10.74 per hour to $12.25 on May 1) as well as scheduled minimum wage increases in future years (to $13 next year, $14 in 2017, and $15 in 2018).

What I don’t understand about the idea of a sanctuary city is this: If there are no penalties for illegal actions who do you think will be attracted to them good guys or bad guys? So basically the sanctuary cities are advertising for the worst of the illegals to make that their home. Right? So why would any law abiding person, American, legal or illegal want to live in a place actively trying to attract the worst of society?

Milhouse (a04cc3) — 7/7/2015 @ 9:27 pm

Interesting:

The gun used in the seemingly random slaying of a woman on a San Francisco pier belonged to a federal agent, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter said Tuesday.

The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity, said a police check of the weapon’s serial number shows it belonged to a federal agent. The official declined to elaborate further.

Dana (86e864) — 7/7/2015 @ 10:00 pm

Well, the Secret Service are always leaving their guns lying around, so why should we be surprised that some G-man in SF did the same?

Milhouse (a04cc3) — 7/7/2015 @ 10:07 pm

From the TIME article:

At Sanchez’s arraignment Tuesday, his public defender, Matt Gonzalez, said the shooting appeared to be an accident.

In jailhouse interviews with two television stations, Sanchez said he found a gun wrapped in a shirt on the pier and it went off in his hands.

elissa (68414e) — 7/7/2015 @ 10:11 pm

Killed by the very policies that she enthusiastically voted for her entire life. Well, it almost gladdens my heart that this young woman’s murder is opening the eyes of a couple democrats here and there to the “sanctuary city” crime perpetrated on me and mine over an entire lifetime.

Innocent? Yeah, that’s a stretch.

While covering the sanctuary city murder…

News crews from two television stations were robbed of cameras Thursday morning, and a camera operator was pistol-whipped by a man in a ski mask, as they reported on a homicide at Pier 14 in San Francisco.
The mugging — the latest in the Bay Area to target television crews — happened at 6:03 a.m. at the pier along the Embarcadero and was captured in part on the air.
KTVU reporter Cara Liu was reporting live when someone ran up and stole camera equipment belonging to KNTV, which also had a crew on the scene. During the incident, KNTV camera operator Alan Waples was pistol-whipped.

Pro tip: leave your cameras at home in Sanctuary City.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 7/7/2015 @ 11:05 pm

From SFgate:

The gun used to kill a 32-year-old woman on San Francisco’s waterfront was stolen from a federal agent in a car burglary in June, sources close to the investigation said Tuesday.
The .40-caliber pistol was stolen from the agent not long before Kathryn Steinle was shot to death July 1 at Pier 14 on the Embarcadero, said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the case publicly.
Other sources said the weapon was apparently not the agent’s official gun. It was reported stolen in an auto burglary in the downtown area, they said.

I wonder when the police report on this was filed. I wonder if the gun was stolen with a car or from a car. I wonder if the gun was wrapped in a shirt.

Killed by the very policies that she enthusiastically voted for her entire life.

I was speaking with a devout liberal a few weeks ago about a person we know in common (a former friend of hers, a distant acquaintance to me) who has been caught embezzling lots of money from a variety of victims. I was momentarily shaken because instead of expressing fury at the crook, the devout liberal started doing a kumbaya routine, said everyone should try to heal the wounds and recommended the victims resolve the matter with the thief (who I was told today is arrogantly, brazenly unrepentant). I privately shook my head.

Nothing unnerves and appalls me more than people who, in the name of do-gooderism and supposed compassion, end up inflaming the misery borne by innocent humans struck by criminality—and murder is the ultimate form of criminality.

Mark (710c48) — 7/7/2015 @ 11:35 pm

I’m wondering why Kathryn Steinle is wearing a wedding ring? No husband is heard from or mentioned in the reports.

Her father’s name is Jim Steinle, her mother Liz Sullivan. Are they married or what?

I’m smelling a lot of feminism on this random crime. Smells like gym socks and cheese farts.

They’re not allowed
And so I’m free
Even when I’m pinched for an assault
I know that I will vault
Right out the door, no feds to fear

A city of sanc-tu-rar-yyyyyy
So progressive you

And they all talk about how MEAN the Republicans are. Intentions are everything. Results NEVER count. There is no policy so thoroughly discredited, so morally bankrupt, that they won’t be for it if it SOUNDS as if it would be “nice”.

papertiger, in response to your comment #23 – Beauty is also in the eye of the beholder, and as this beholder sees it, Kathryn Steinle was certainly a beautiful young woman and most likely innocent of any trespass Sanchez might have thought he was justified in avenging.

Of course, all the facts aren’t yet known and over the next few weeks we can expect to learn more about what might have motivated Francisco Sanchez to gun down an apparent stranger in cold blood at a well known tourist attraction.

Sanchez says he came to San Francisco because it’s a sanctuary city, a refuge for undocumented immigrants. Then after reaching safe haven Sanchez not only demonstrated his bloodthirsty contempt for the citizens who welcomed him, he also proved himself unworthy of admission to this country as he had on so many previous occasions.

Sanchez deserves the death penalty, and the sooner the better.

ropelight, as I said before if they advertise as a sanctuary city that is the type of people they will draw. They are literally advertising for criminals to make SF their home then they’re stunned when the criminals do. BTW, I think he said he was shooting at a seal.

Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie (f4eb27) — 7/8/2015 @ 7:15 am

Hoagie, Sanchez says he was shooting at a seal but I don’t put much stock in what murderers say. They often savagely commit the most appalling grisly and heinous crimes and then come up with some self-serving pretense to evade responsibility and make it all seem like an unfortunate accident.

Sanchez is no different. He says he was shooting at a seal, and he also says the gun went off when he picked it up. But in my experience every time a gun went off it was in someone’s hands – I’ve never seen a gun go off all by itself. Never.

ropelight (5738da) — 7/8/2015 @ 7:40 am

Even if San Francisco had honored ICE’s request to hold Sanzhez for pick-up, what would ICE have done with him – deport him for the 6th time, or release him with a summons asking him to voluntarily appear in court?

Statistics for 2014 (most recent available):

…the 30,558 criminal aliens that ICE released back on the streets in 2014 garnered almost 80,000 convictions. These included 250 homicides, 186 kidnappings, 373 sexual assaults, 13,636 convictions for driving under the influence, 1,589 weapons offenses, 994 aggravated assaults, 56 arsons and 31 smuggling offenses.”

High rates of illegal alien incarceration are concentrated in certain communities, not all near the Mexican border, none of which are representative of the country as a whole.

Maricopa County, Arizona: 22 percent of felons are illegal aliens;

Lake County, Illinois: 19 percent of jail inmates are illegal aliens;

Collier County, Florida: 20 to 22 percent of jail inmates and arrestees are illegal aliens;

Weld County, Colorado: 12.8 to 15.2 percent of those jailed are illegal aliens.

The deportation numbers are also revealing:

From 1998 to 2007, 816,000 criminal aliens were removed from the United States because of a criminal charge or conviction. This is equal to about one-fifth of the nation’s total jail and prison population. These figures do not include those removed for the lesser offense of living or working in the country illegally.

Sanchez’s lawyer, public defender Matt Gonzalez, claims that illegals are more law abiding than regular US citizens. However, the statistics contradict that assertion.

ropelight (5738da) — 7/8/2015 @ 10:08 am

His client certainly isn’t more law-abiding. I guess the defense’s theory is that if you can’t win on the details, argue generalities.

DRJ (1dff03) — 7/8/2015 @ 10:12 am

MSNBC published the suspect’s criminal record. He has a lengthy record for drugs and illegal entry. Sanchez was last on probation after being indicted in 2009 in Texas for illegal re-entry into the U.S. after removal. In 2010, the charges were changed to violating probation — an easier case to make with a multiple offender like Sanchez, and one that probably has more severe sentences.

Sanchez was sentenced in 2011 to 46 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release for his prior probation and illegal re-entry. He was incarcerated in the federal system in May 2011. Given that the California ICE filed a detainer in 2013, my guess is he had been serving his sentence in a federal prison in California. He was released from prison on March 26, 2015 — 46 months after being sentenced on the Texas illegal re-entry charges — and turned over to the San Francisco county jail to face prior drug charges.

DRJ (1dff03) — 7/8/2015 @ 10:41 am

Apparently Texas takes re-entry by a known felon more seriously than California does.

DRJ (1dff03) — 7/8/2015 @ 10:43 am

Reports say the suspect had made conflicting claims about this shooting — that it was an accident, that he was trying to shoot a seal, and that he was so high on marijuana and sleeping pills he didn’t know what he was doing. I have a feeling the last one is more likely. But if it’s true he used a federal agent’s gun, how did he get it?

DRJ (1dff03) — 7/8/2015 @ 10:46 am

I’ve read where the gun was stolen from a car (with the car??), but who knows.

Thanks to “law abiding” illegal aliens, we living in the border states have something called rape trees.

http://poe.house.gov/index.cfm/speeches?ID=9B2D1340-A79B-4A41-B18D-E64986C90EBB

Since this isn’t copyrighted but on the contrary is in the public domain via the federal record I’ll quote it in its entirety.

Ripped from the bodies of unwilling women, undergarments cling to branches of a tree just a few feet from the lawless U.S.-Mexico border, dozens of pairs of underwear thrown there by rapists.

These are called rape trees. Each pair is a trophy from a woman that was smuggled into the United States, victims that are heard screaming in the desert. They are raped, even gang raped by illegal human smugglers, then forced into silence.

These trees are a warning. Illegal immigrants evade our borders but crime doesn’t evade them. Some become criminals. Some become victims. They are raped, robbed and murdered by other illegals, human smugglers and brutal criminals who then claim other victims.

More than 70 percent of their rapes, murders and child sex crimes are against Americans. One expert who studies sex crimes says about a hundred illegal sex offenders cross the border every day, leaving thousands of victims every year.

Rape trees are a warning to illegals not to talk. They should be a warning to Americans as well, to shout out against illegal entry and human smuggling.

Saying the agent’s gun was “reported stolen…..” is not exactly the same thing as saying “a police report was filed”. The finger pointing and a$$ covering will not bode well for a clean investigation, I’m afraid.

I’m gratified the story is making headline news across the political spectrum, though, and that both Cali senators, Boxer and Feinstein have been forced to make some pretty strong statements against SF policy regarding the city’s blatant non-cooperation with ICE.

elissa (43d68e) — 7/8/2015 @ 11:15 am

I agree with elissa’s skepticism about the reports and the government, especially since the BLM has now confirmed the gun was an agent’s service weapon — not his personal weapon — that was allegedly stolen while the agent was in San Francisco on business.

With any luck this will severely hurt the political career of Gavin Newsome, a slimy and unprincipled San Francisco toad who was on a fast-track towards possibly becoming the next governor. If memory serves, in his San Francisco mayor days he was a strong supporter of the idea of a sanctuary city.

Not to be too terribly picky, but BLM rangers don’t have anything to do with the National Parks. That would be the Park Service.

Also the BLM doesn’t run our National Forests or Grasslands. That would be the Forest Service.

But there is a lot of BLM land that they do, occasionally, patrol.

I’m sure they all have the same problems when they come across drug smugglers, pot growers, and illegals. I know I did when hunting on any such lands that are open to hunting.

happyfeet (a037ad) — 7/8/2015 @ 12:53 pm

Sorta related. It has to do with some of the villains in this story.

A federal judge in the district court of South Texas has ordered top officials with the Department of Homeland Security — including Secretary Jeh Johnson — to appear in person in his court in Brownsville next month to show why they should not be held in contempt for violating an injunction issued against President Obama’s executive amnesty order.

…At issue is the federal government’s failure to clear up why DHS issued 2,000 work permits to illegal aliens even after the injunction was in place. The Justice Department made that announcement in May, but DHS and its sub-agencies have not yet explained why applications for the permits were approved.

Hanen says that the government must answer that question to his satisfaction by the end of the month or else appear in his court on Aug. 19.

“Each individual Defendant must attend and be prepared to show why he or she should not be held in contempt of Court,” Hanen ordered.

The list of defendants includes DHS’ Johnson as well as the heads of Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

“In addition to the individual Defendants, the Government shall bring all relevant witnesses on this topic as the Court will not continue this matter to a later date,” Hanen added.

I doubt they can answer that question to the judge’s satisfaction as “F*** you, laws are for the little people” is the real answer.

I know people are talking about cutting off federal money to SF police, but to about half the city that’s a good thing. Cut off their water from Hetch-Hetchy, which comes from a federal reservoir on federal land, and watch them move.

You’re right, Stece57, and that isn’t being picky. I meant to say national lands, not national parks. Thank you for catching that.

DRJ (1dff03) — 7/8/2015 @ 5:29 pm

Just a follow-up to my comment @64. Here’s a link to Judge Hanen’s order:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/270843796/Hanen-Order-July-7

It’s even better than I thought. Not only must the government explain how it happened that they violated Hanen’s injunction 2,000 times, the government has to fix those 2,000 violations. Which I presume means depriving them of whatever paperwork that grants them illegal benefits.

That, I do not believe the government can do by 31 July.

I’m not hijacking the thread. The feds bear plenty of responsibility in this as well, and I’d love to see Jeh Johnson and his partners in crime frog-marched into the local lock-up in Brownsville for dismantling immigration law enforcement.

I’d also love to see the same thing happen to the mayor, police chief, and supervisors of the city and county of SF, but this at least is a start.

Steve57 (4c9797) — 7/8/2015 @ 5:32 pm

Although it would be fun to see a 20-person US Marshals SWAT team taking down Jeh in the middle of the night.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 7/8/2015 @ 5:46 pm

Kevin, Judge Hanen is under no illusions about the lawlessness of the Obama crime syndicate. He knows that when I use the words crime syndicate I’m being scrupulously accurate. Because he’s had occasion to describe this cabal as just such an entity.

A federal judge in Texas has issued a searing indictment of the Obama administration’s immigration policy. He accuses the government of “completing the criminal mission” of human traffickers “who are violating the border security of the United States” and assisting a “criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals.” The judge calls the administration’s behavior “dangerous and unconscionable” and says that “DHS should cease telling the citizens of the United States that it is enforcing our border security laws because it is clearly not. Even worse, it is helping those who violate these laws.”

On December 13, federal district court Judge Andrew S. Hanen of Brownsville, Texas, issued his order in U.S. v. Nava-Martinez. It described in shocking detail the malfeasance of the government…

I’m sure he has a plan B in case Jeh Johnson and gang act true to form.

concerning the firearm,
I would like someone to say at a press conference,
“When you make up the final version of your story, can you let us know?”

yes, that’s awfully convenient isn’t it,

My denunciation of Francisco Sanchez (#s 4/39/42) was based on early reports that he shot Kathryn Steinle 3 times. Now, the reports indicate only one shot. If so, that introduces a element of caution against premature conclusions. It’s entirely possible that Sanchez isn’t quite the callous monster I initially thought.

Surely, he’s a repeat offender and should never have been set free in San Francisco, but he may not deserve the condemnation I heaped on him.

Something’s bothering me. Sanchez didn’t voluntarily come to San Francisco. As I understand it he was already in federal custody and was inexplicably transferred to SF to answer for a decade old minor marijuana offense. That’s what bothers me. Why? Why go after him for a throw away charge?

Sanchez was already in federal custody, in SF minor pot offenses don’t usually merit much if any official notice. It makes no sense to go to the time and expense of transferring a repeat offender, like Sanchez, to a sanctuary city (or anywhere for that matter) to answer for an infraction no one cares about especially while he’s already on the hook for multiple felonies.

Factor in the SF authorities let him go free even though the feds requested he be held for pick-up. I smell a rat. Could it be setting an illegal alien free was the hidden agenda all along? And, if he hadn’t shot Kathryn Steinly he’d be free as a bird right now, and we wouldn’t be any the wiser.

The article says that the agent in question was a ranger, but are handguns really effective against bears?

Very effective they are! Shoot whoever is with you, you must for them to be effective!
