On Tuesday August 12, Antioch Police Officers responded to the Save Mart on Contra Loma Blvd due to Melvin Davis getting upset that his friend was arrested for shoplifting and the store’s loss prevention had refused to immediately release him.

Davis grabbed a bottle of lighter fluid from a display and pulled a lighter from his pocket. He started flicking the lighter while yelling that he was going to burn the store down. He set the fluid down and dropped the lighter when Officers confronted him (Note: per radio traffic, Davis was taken into custody at gunpoint).

Davis was taken into custody and it was learned that he was is an Arson Registrant and currently on probation for another fire he started.

He was sent to the CCC Jail.

Well I hate that I’m not surprised to hear of such of a story that involves a lowlife that should have been immediately beaten to death to do such a thing. What I’m upset about is the people of this community not standing up and saying that it’s time for the people to take the law in their own hands and start shooting these pieces of garbage on sight. I’m all for it. Wake up people!! Is this how you want your town to be? Is this the town you want your children to grow up in? Really?!

Well I certainly do not want my kids OR my family ANYWHERE near the likes of you. You sound crazy & angry. Positive reinforcement is one thing.. But you are talking about taking a human life & “shooting on sight”… You wouldn’t like it if someone else did it, so why is it ok for you? Your the “good guy”? NOT.

@ Cherry and Dean…

You two preach as if you’re the ones better than someone’s opinion about the thugs and crime in this city, yet you both promote “beating down on sight”?

I don’t know whether to hand both of you some breath mints or toilet paper because the sh_t spewing out of your mouth is ricidulous.

Let me guess.. both of you are criminal thugs and or have criminals in your family? I guess Brad hit a chord with your feelings? Here’s a piece of advice for you… Next time I see you working at McDonald’s, make sure you get my order right before I talk to management about your uneducated, highschool dropout, thug mentality degenarate ass.

@Cherry and Dean,

I don’t know whether to hand both of you breath mints or toilet paper because the brown stuff spewing out of your mouths is ridiculous.

You two preach as if you’re better than someone’s opinon on crime and thugs in this city, yet you two promote “beating someone down on sight”?

Let me guess, Brad hit a personal chord with you two because you are section 8 ghetto filth? And the rest of your family works in fast food restaurants?

Here’s a piece of advice for your.. next time make sure you get my order right and super size my fries or I’ll have your manager fire your uneducated ghetto ebonics talking degenerate low life.

Simple minded Regie ol boy. I come from a very good home & family. The only “filth” I am making a connection with is people like yourself. You talk about things as if you speak from experience. Maybe you hate ghetto trash because you grew up poor. Or your just an angry old cuss who has nothing better to do. I dont know. Personally I dont care either. However.. I believe my remarks on “amen”.. Were a bit satcastic. I do not condone violence OR CYBER BULLYING. Which is what you are doing. So come back down to earth and deal with reality. Your just as bad as the punks you hate. If I did work at a fast food place, or knew anyone who did … And I met you, I would be sure to exercise my right to refuse service. By the way I will take toilet paper.. I may need it to wipe tears after all this laughing.

OH WAIT… Let me guess. If people in these forums are not hissing out violent rants of anger towards the “degenerates” committing violent acts of crime … We are supporters of the “thugs” & “filthy low lifes” ? Hmmmm, yea makes sense! NOT
