I’ve talked about my cousin’s shooting in this space recently.
We still haven’t had justice, but we got a little bit this week.
For those new to this story, my cousin, Stephen Guillermo, 26, was shot and killed when he got off on the wrong floor of his San Francisco apartment building and entered an identical apartment on May 3.
He was shot and killed by a gun-owner, who was arrested for suspicion of murder.
By the following Tuesday, the San Francisco District attorney ordered the man released.
This is the power of the gun laws that favor the mistaken shooter, but not a mistaken victim.
It’s a “shoot first, ask questions later” world.
