He is a Felon??? Wow, imagine that. Hey leaders that keep talking about reducing gun violence, get these people in jail!
So true!

Immigration status?

Given the number of illegals in the US, about 12 million, Lawful residents are entitled to this datum about those charged with crimes.

Good job LE! ..now DA – keep ’em there!
The judge will have him on the street shortly and then he will seriously hurt or kill somebody.
Felon with a gun what a surprise and newscum wants to make people get insurance And change where you can legally carry a gun. Yet they constantly arrest felons with a gun. The shooter in halfmoon bay was here on a green card and was able to buy a gun, dont see them changing that.
Felon with a gun what a surprise and the moron governor wants to make people get insurance And change where you can legally carry a gun. Yet they constantly arrest felons with a gun. Guess that law doesn’t work. The shooter in halfmoon bay was here on a green card and was able to buy a gun, dont see them changing that.
He’s just a mistunderstood guy who needed a gun to steal food for his family. I’m sure he’ll be promptly released to continue his life of crime.
‘Faces several felonies’. That means next to nothing, these days.
Sad but true. They release them so fast (why?) and then wonder why crime is in the increase. So many arrested are repeat offenders. Need to go back to Three Strikes and You’re Out.
Wow, this is the first story where it says our DA is actually working
