The Deadly Results Of Kamala Harris Being Soft On Crime

Posted • August 10, 2024: On Thursday's Fox & Friends First, co-host Carley Shimkus devoted a segment to shining light on some of the deadly consequences of Vice President Kamala Harris's history of being soft on crime as a prosecutor in San Francisco. Setting up a segment with Don Rosenberg of Advocates for Victims of Illegal Immigrant Crime, Shimkus recalled: “…she (Kamala Harris) is also facing questions about her record as a San Francisco district attorney. And one case that's bringing this into focus is the 2010 death of law student Drew Rosenberg. Now, Drew was hit and killed at a stoplight by an illegal immigrant driver who was arrested just months earlier for driving without a license and let back out on the streets after Harris's office dropped a charge against him. Drew's father wrote to Harris shortly after, saying he and his son actually supported her bid to become California's attorney general, and writing, "For my son Drew, it would be the last vote he ever placed. My son is dead because the DA did not believe that driving without a license is a big deal."”

Rosenberg told the story of how his son Drew, when he was a law student in 2010, was in an accident with an illegal alien, Roberto Gallo, who made an illegal turn, and who then ran over Drew several times, killing him, while trying to flee the accident. Shimkus then recounted that, several months earlier, Gallo had been caught driving without a license, but Harris's office declined to prosecute him, which was in line with liberal policies to protect illegal immigrants by letting them break some laws: “So, Don, five months before this happened, this illegal immigrant was arrested for driving without a license. And as San Francisco district attorney, Kamala Harris's office dropped that charge. And some people might be wondering why, and it's political. If you -- it was seen as, if you charge an illegal immigrant for driving without a license, that's seen as anti-illegal immigrant, so this guy was let go.”

Rosenberg surmised that, if Gallo had been fully prosecuted for driving without a license, his vehicle would have been impounded, which, in many cases, leads to the car being abandoned permanently by the owner. Wrapping up, Shimkus also informed viewers that, after killing Rosenberg's son, Gallo was only held in prison for 43 days: "The other part of this that I do want to bring up before I let you go is that this illegal immigrant was charged with felony vehicular homicide, and then the charges were reduced, and he served just 43 days in jail. As a father, I cannot imagine how you handled that outcome as well."
