San Francisco is a sanctuary, alright… for those who choose to break out nation’s laws.
If you’re a legal citizen of the US… well, then you’re on your own. GOOD LUCK, SUCKERS.
A jury Monday found a 41-year-old man guilty of five counts of murder in the 2012 killings of a family found beaten to death with a hammer inside their San Francisco home.
The jury returned the verdict against Binh Thai Luc, an illegal immigrant from Vietnam, on Monday after six days of deliberations.
Luc was also found guilty of five counts of attempted robbery and two counts of burglary.
It’s really sad when the most shocking part of this horrific story is the fact he was found guilty for it.
I’m sure there’ll be a protest soon.
According to Fox News he had a violent criminal history and had been due to be deported in 2006.
SF Gate reports that Luc, who was working as a plumber, did not react to the verdict.
He faces life in prison without parole; he had been eligible for the death penalty but the district attorney’s office has not initiated such proceedings.
Um. Duh. They’re in SAN FRANCISCO. Beating an entire family to death with a hammer is only a symptom of the systematic oppression this guy was facing. We should probably make him a citizen.
Luc, who was said to be deeply in debt and had already been served an eviction notice, was accused of killing the family in the midst of a robbery after losing money at a casino that night.
Prosecutors said the Lei family kept thousands of dollars in cash in the home, and Luc had more than $6,500 with him when he was arrested.
He was found guilty of killing Hua Shun Lei, 65; his wife, Wan Yi Wu, 62; their daughter, Ying Xue Lei, 37; their son, Vincent Lei, 32; and his wife, Chia Huei Chu, 30.
Vincent Lei’s 12-year-old niece discovered the carnage that morning and ran out of the home screaming: ‘Mommy, bodies! Bodies!’
Defense attorney Mark Goldrosen argued that someone else attacked the family, possibly a Chinatown gangster or former boyfriend of one of the victims.
He said prosecutors never established a motive for the grisly crime.
Uhhhh…. leaving the scene with thousands of dollars in cash seems like a motive to me, right? He had $6,500 and their blood all over his jeans. All signs point to wanting to steal their money.
The kicker? This POS should have been out of here a LONG time ago.
Luc served almost a decade in prison for robbery and assault with a deadly weapon for the 1996 armed robbery of a Chinese restaurant in San Jose.
He was ordered to be deported to his native Vietnam upon his release, but the Vietnamese government didn’t provide the documents needed to process his removal from the U.S., federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement previously said.
ICE officials released him into the community in 2006.
Yup – just let him go! Illegal immigrant who assaulted someone during an armed robbery? WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO!
