Blood On Newsom's Hands

San Francisco Sells Sanctuary: Bill O'Reilly

The man charged with killing a father and two sons on a San Francisco street last month was one of the youths who benefited from the city's long-standing practice of shielding illegal immigrant juveniles who committed felonies from possible deportation.

Edwin Ramos, now 21, is being held on three counts of murder in the June 22 deaths of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. They were shot near their home in the Excelsior district when Tony Bologna, driving home from a family picnic, briefly blocked the gunman's car from completing a left turn down a narrow street.

Ramos had been in trouble before. In 2003, when he was 17, he was found guilty of attempted robbery and assaulting a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority passenger. Last March, he was detained for several days after police found a gun used in a double homicide in the car he was driving. And then came June 22, when Anthony Bologna's car prevented Ramos from turning left at an intersection. San Francisco police say Ramos opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle, killing Bologna and his two sons, Michael and Matthew, who were driving home from a family barbecue.

Ramos is a native of El Salvador. He is an undocumented immigrant and an alleged member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, also known as MS-13. And despite his previous scrapes with the law and his juvenile felony convictions, Ramos has never been deported - a fact that has put him at the center of a debate over San Francisco's so-called "sanctuary law".

The triple homicide has prompted conservative commentators including Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Lou Dobbs to weigh in - O'Reilly called the city of San Francisco "completely out of control and now directly responsible for the murders of three men."

Sodomy and Gomorrah and the GAVYN Awards

Gavin Newsom says he was unaware his office declared Feb. 23 to be Colt Studio Day, honoring the 40th anniversary of a San Francisco movie company whose Web site invites visitors to "come inside to experience the hottest man-on-man action." a gay porn studio. But in the wake of attacks by conservative media figures such as talk show host Bill O'Reilly -- who said the proclamation reinforced San Francisco's reputation as the nation's "Sodom and Gomorrah" -- Newsom has decided to change the policy and have any potentially controversial proclamation cleared by either his chief of staff or director of government affairs.

San Francisco has the reputation of being the world headquarters of the gay adult entertainment industry. Last weekend, the industry held the GAYVN Awards (aka GAVYN Awards) -- the Oscars for the gay porn industry -- at the Castro Theatre.

As much as the Gav hates surprises (See: Town Hall Meetings), he gets fooled again (See: 49ers; Olympics; His Chief Spokesman, Peter Ragone aka Byorn; Valentine's Day with Han Shin; His Campaign manager's wife exercising the 9th step of the 12-step program - admitting to an affair with the Mayor; finally, the Gav's crack staff prove their loyalty and professionalism [we got your back, boss] by plunging the knife further into his downward spiral cord - approving Gay Porn Day) - Sweet!

To summarize, the Gav antagonizes the conservatives; insults his gay constituency and proves he's an inept frat boy pretending to be the mayor.

Here’s how the proclamation reads: Therefore be it resolved that I, Gavin Newsom, Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, congratulate Colt Studios on the occasion of their 40th anniversary and proclaim February 23, 2007 as Colt Studio Day in San Francisco.

Good grief, I think the Gav's mask of sobriety is starting to slip.
