San Diego Local Reacts to Shooting: “Common Sense Says Lock Up the Bad Guys”

A fiery comment from “Karen T.,” a self-described 25-year resident of Mission Valley, is going viral after a midnight shooting near a gas station on Sports Arena Boulevard left two injured.

“I don’t want to hear about ‘mental health’ or ‘background checks’ again,” Karen wrote on the “San Diego Neighbors United” Facebook page. “Where was the common sense? My dad was a cop. He said you don’t stop crime by taking guns from law-abiding citizens—you stop it by locking up the thugs who use them. It’s not rocket science. We’re so scared of hurting a criminal’s feelings that we’ve forgotten how to protect our own families. Common sense says: if you shoot someone, you go to jail for a long, long time. Period. End of story.”

The post has since been shared over 1,200 times, with a flood of replies split between those agreeing that “common sense” law enforcement is the answer and those arguing that “common sense” laws actually include universal background checks. Meanwhile, local police have not yet confirmed any arrests.
