Angry Local Resident Posts on “San Diego Heights Community Watch” Facebook Group

“Just saw the news about the chaos downtown at 4th & Broadway last night. Another ‘incident’ involving a firearm. But of course, the headline is gonna be all about ‘mental health crisis’ and ’easy access to guns.’ When I was a kid, we didn’t need a dozen task forces and social workers on speed dial. We needed a father figure who would grab you by the ear, a neighbor who knew your mom, and a front door that wasn’t locked three times.

Instead, we get this: the shooter had been arrested twice in the last year, both times for property crimes, and they let him walk because ‘he wasn’t a danger to the community.’ Common sense says if you’re breaking into cars and stealing catalytic converters, you’re escalating. But no, the system is designed to catch people AFTER they shoot someone.

And the victim? A 22-year-old college kid from SDSU who was just trying to get a burrito at a food truck. He’s gonna survive, thank God, but he’s got a bullet in his leg for life. The city will spend $50 million on a ‘gun violence prevention task force’ that will hold meetings nobody attends, and nothing changes.

I don’t want your thoughts and prayers. I want a city that has the common sense to say ‘if you can’t follow the rules, you don’t get to walk the streets.’

End rant.”
