War zone! So sad to see this City we live and work in beyond repair. I couldn’t even talk my own family into going to the movie theatre out of fear, so as many others our money is being spent in a neighboring city, not Antioch. Which it’s sad…..

What can I do? What can my business do? What can we all do to change this once and for all?

One thing we can do is everyone support local and shop local. Don’t fear shopping in our downtown areas. If I closed my flower shop ” they’ve won ” I open the doors, sweep the glass and try to keep my chin up.

That neighborhood is another Sycamore and has been for more years than I like to think about.

Or a fight for there out right survival in life most of these punk cowards will not make it past thirty years old either dead or in prison we as citizens need to take back control we need to not be afraid team up together and take back our streets gang up on these cowards the crooked Antioch police department will not do anything ever when you see one of these punks walking down the street sagging there pants down to there knees with there asses hanging out say something tell them how disrespectful they are tell what they really are useless pieces of shit
