At another point, he said the gun had been under a rag that lay on the ground near the waterfront, that it fired when he stepped on it, and that he quickly tossed the weapon into the bay so it would stop “shooting on its own.”  read more

  1. Why is it taking so long to execute him?… imagine if this were California of the gold-rush era. He would have been dangling from a tree 20 minutes after he shot her. But I guess that was when men were in California.

  2. Yeah, I hate when my guns “shoot on their own”. I need to train them not to do that. 🙄

    I predict the jury, being picked from the population of San Franfreako, will fall for his BS, blame the gun and feel sorry for him being a protected species.

  3. The DA needs to get a gun rep from the manufacturer and hit the jury with hours of data because this is CA. If the manufacturer has footage of safety tests that would be best. The snowflakes can see the gun being dropped, kicked, ran over and not firering.

  4. “DAMN those self-firing guns!”

    Yea. I believe that was a Sig P226. Double action trigger pull on one of the is about 57 pounds (I exaggerate). They don’t go off easy. That’s why most LEO dropped them for the Glocks. First shots a throw away.

  5. I was unaware there were any sea creatures and actually inhabited piers. if that was the case there would be no people allowed on the end of the pier or whatever section they were on.
