Just like i said soft ass california, this kid will be charged as an minor and even if convicted of attempted murder he will be free once he turns 25 years old.
The 17-year-old, who remains unidentified, has been charged with attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and attempted robbery charges, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said Tuesday night.
Jenkins said the charges would be filed in juvenile court, and the suspect is expected to be arraigned on Wednesday afternoon.
No longer under California law can a district attorney choose to file those charges against a minor in adult court,” Jenkins said.

The daytime shooting at a busy commercial hub in San Francisco put a renewed spotlight on concerns about crime and
violence in the city. Mayor London Breed said the shooting was “a terrible and rare incident in Union Square,” the well-trafficked public plaza where the city has increased police officer coverage in recent years.
“This incident does set us back from all of the hard work that we’ve done in order to make significant changes in public safety in San Francisco,” she said.
Police have not announced a possible motive for the shooting, but there is no indication Pearsall was targeted because he is a football player, Scott said on Saturday.
The chief said it appeared the suspect was acting alone. Only one gun was involved in the shooting and it has been recovered, Scott said.
Pearsall’s mother, Erin, wrote on Facebook that the bullet entered through her son’s chest and exited out his back, missing vital organs.
On Tuesday, Jenkins offered her thoughts and prayers to Pearsall, his family and teammates, adding that they have been “significantly traumatized” by the incident.
“I also know that the San Francisco community has been traumatized, and now it is my job and my office’s job to make sure that we have accountability in this case and that we move forward with ensuring that San Francisco has a level of public safety that doesn’t contribute to these events happening in the future.”
Pearsall was drafted by San Francisco with the 31st pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft earlier this year. Before being drafted, Pearsall played three years at Arizona State and two at Florida during his collegiate career. In his last NCAA campaign, he amassed 965 receiving yards and six touchdowns with the Gators.
With the shooting, Pearsall joins an unenviable group of active NFL players who have been victims of gun violence in recent years.
In April, Houston Texans wide receiver
Tank Dell suffered minor injuries in a mass shooting in Sanford, Florida.
Two years ago, Washington Commanders then-rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot twice in an attempted armed robbery
just weeks before the start of the season. He missed four games before making a return to the field.
Notably, the NFL franchise – at the time controlled by controversial owner Dan Snyder – used the shooting to criticize the “
out-of-control violent crime in DC” as part of an attack on DC Attorney General Karl Racine, who was investigating the team’s workplace culture.
