Mr. Simmons, It will certainly help if all of us vote FOR the Residential Landlord Fee in the November 4, election. This will allow the landlords to finally pay their fair share. Many of them are more than willing to do this but the OUT OF TOWN GROUP known as California Apartment Association is funding a no campaign. Our YES campaign may be underfunded but we MUST win or this city will file for bankruptcy next and will have a police force half what we have now.

Last night the poor APD were running from incident to the next. It’s out of control in Antioch and I don’t care how many police you have, it’s not going to matter unless we get the trash out. Not only was there a fatality on Hwy 4 at Hillcrest, there was a shooting where 6 were hit and a fire. I heard the helicopter over my house around 2am and coming and going from Kaiser. I’m getting the hell out of dodge soon as I can. I do not want to raise children in this mess. Now I know there is every type of “trash” and incidents around, but I think most if not all would agree with me that Antioch is only getting better and there is No TAKING BACK ANTIOCH unless drastic changes are made. Just say’in

It is time for a Sycamore Drive Task Force. They should be unmarked and heavily armed. Take out the cancer before it grows to big and destroys Antioch.

I feel so safe knowing I voted for Mayor Harper. I felt safe when his billboards had a cop badge right next to him. I felt safe when he said, “Things are getting better” in regards to Antioch crime. I voted for him because he said “Zero tolerance for crime” on his billboards.

Ain’t it a doozy? I’m waiting for you to come out of your bat cave and fight the crime Mayor. Any time now.. still waiting……

It’s probably the same shooter as Friday night.

When I first read the title of the article I thought it was the robber who was shot.
How about just – Robbery Victim Shot.

I agree with you. Also I am black. Instead of being sort of the statistic, I worked 2 jobs and put myself through college.

i dont agree with gangs but in La in a particular hood certain violant latinos gangs ran out any blacks they seen as it was to keep their area clean as the blacks were literally coming in ruining the area with their ghetto bs but unfortuanantly certain innocents were also dealt with in a unfortunante way but it kept the black trash out although its ultra violant this is the only way youll get a cock roach to leave its to exterminate it just telling you about gang history in LA
