Donald Trump will say I told you so
Shot dead by a stranger? Gun-loving Republicans would be surprised, but thatâs actually a fairly uncommon event.

Chammy, many ugly, racist comments appearing on the SFGate article about this shootingâŚalong the lines of âTrump was rightâ.
We have serious problems right here in Bay City. Intense poverty and homelessness juxtaposed against unimaginable wealth. As a local, I know you see it every day.

This story originally ran on the SF Chronicle website, my newspaper, and the commenters are responding to the fact that the suspect is Francisco Sanchez, 45, from Texas and these bigots make Trump sound like Mother Teresa.
I donât want to make light of this story because there are two grieving parents and a lovely young woman shot dead while being a tourist. I just shake my head and wonder.

Trump probably hired himâŚ
LD, I live in San Francisco, I donât believe Chammy does. Those commenting on the Chronicle website about this murder have a Mexican from Texas in their sights and would shoot and kill if they could. Thereâs not enough sympathy being expressed for all involved and too much bloodlust. P.S. I know weâre the City by The Bay, hadnât heard Bay City used.

Donât go there. A young woman is dead, two parents are grieving, and Trump and his bullshit is not relevant.

Yep. My husband and I pulled up the article, and about half way through, he asked, âHow many comments before someone brings up âthose damn illegals?ââ We werenât surprised that it was in the very first comment. I donât know the guyâs status, but SFGate commenters assume anyone with a Hispanic surname has entered the country illegally. Itâs pretty disgusting.
I canât imagine what her poor parents are going through. How horrible to see your daughter go like that, or to have your husband come home to tell youâŚ

Not only are there over the top hateful racist spews about the suspect, someone threw in something about the president. They always do, imagining heâs at the bottom of everything that goes wrong. Makes me ashamed to say I live here sometimes.

There are bigots and racists everywhere.
And online? No telling where theyâre surfing in from.
Knowing trollish behavior as well as I do-- it would be unsurprising-- if we were ableâ
to learn that a good number of those commenters registered just to comment on this article/event.

More guns would obviously have prevented this.

Chronicle stories draw a lot of haters, itâs consistent and in a perverse way dependable.

Was a spinoff of River CityâŚas in âRight here in River Cityâ from The Music Man.
My bad, I admire both yours and Chammyâs posts. I got your locations mixed up. Thank you for the gentle correction.

I understand that mugging of TV crews and theft of their cameras and gear has been a big problem in the Bay area, especially for KTVU
