Shit happens! Dont hang out at 7-11 at midnight and shit wont happen to you.
I aint did nuffin
That 7-11 is next door to the methadone clinic….
That 7-11 is next door to the methadone clinic. People are always committing crimes there. Last week A guy was yelling at a girl. “I know you stole my $H1T”
Somehow as a taxpayer, I just saved some money
This methadone clinic has been the source of a lot of problems in that area. From shoplifting at Raley’s to fights in the 7-11 parking lot and more! Unsavory characters hang out around there! Why doesn’t the City get rid of this nuisance?
1998-07-08 04:00:00 PDT ANTIOCH — A clinic for heroin addicts has filed a federal class action lawsuit against Antioch, alleging that the City Council discriminated against its patients when it imposed a temporary ban on clinics near homes.
Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment filed suit in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Monday, accusing Antioch of violating the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act. The clinic is asking the court to overturn the city’s decision.
The council imposed a 10- month moratorium on methadone clinics within 500 feet of homes after a packed public hearing on June 9. Neighbors complained that the proposed clinic would be too close to homes and to a public bus line used by schoolchildren.
“This is clearly discriminatory zoning against a class of disabled patients,” said Amitai Schwartz, the plaintiffs’ attorney in San Francisco. “The neighborhood’s fear of this clinic is completely unwarranted. It is typical of the stereotypes and stigmas disabled people — including former drug abusers — have to deal with.”
The suit alleges that a city planner initially approved the clinic’s move into an office in the 3700 block of Sunset Lane. Residents caught word of the decision and flooded City Hall with complaints, prompting the council to rescind the approval and institute the moratorium.
City Attorney Bill Galstan said the rights of Antioch residents outweigh those of the clinic’s patients. He said city officials have offered the clinic more than a dozen alternative sites, several near bus lines.
Galstan said the deputy planning director’s April 15 letter, which indicated that a methadone clinic would be a permitted use for the office building, had no bearing on the case. He said state law allows cities to adopt moratoriums in the event of clashing uses.
The clinic’s motion for an injunction is expected to go before a judge in August.
So now they fall under the “disabled” category? Did anyone force them to become drug addicts? Did someone hold a gun to their heads? Hold their family-members hostage? Why don’t they clean up their act!
These methadone clinic people are nothing but enablers! Who pays for those drugs? They say that the “patients” are protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act? What hogwash! Disabilities my A$$$$$$$!
I have a tip. How about rushing the “victim” as u call him, next door to Sutter Delta and maybe he wouldn’t have died ?
Sick of these meth heads, all the trash they leave around. Walking around like fuking zombies. Play with fire too long, eventually youll get burned.

Hey Concerned, I found all the punctuation that was stolen from your reply. Here you go, ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… . . . . . .
He was too busy making excuses for the weak minded. The only people that get offended by section 8 comments are the losers that are on it, because they are lazy. Your talking about kkk, maybe stop using the slavery card. Nobody alive today was affected by slavery, it gets used as an excuse to be a lowlife loser.
I’m not hiding behind anything! My real name is Lola Saavedra and I’m sick and tired of having to watch my step for safety and security reasons because of crazy people in the Sunset Lane/Davison location.

Speaking of drug use!
LOL. the spelling and punctuation is so hard to read…. Education matters folks. Would you take your co-worker’s job seriously if they purposefully misspelled all these words?
Hes a product of Antioch High
It’s a shame that Antioch is the only city I am aware of in Antioch that discrimination against housing ppl with drug addiction the schools this has been going on for years they should be tired of being sued I bet they not gonna by some of the ppl out there homes that’s on drugs I bet u they not gonna say they don’t want sec 8 ppl to buy homes in Antioch etc
Youre not really this stupid are you? I hope its just an act, because youre helping make my point everytimr you post. Losers on section 8 dont want to buy houses, the rather get cheap housing for the rest of their lifes. Besides they dont have credit to buy a home and most dont even know how to spell J-O-B, much less get one.
Do you know we keep lscumbags out of our neighborhood? We post ” help wanted” signs on our front lawns, nobody comes around! LOL
Methadone clinic was back to business today, just like usual. They just had to walk over the chalk outline, but no biggie.
No matter what goes on around these streets no one deserves to die Mark could barely fucking walk, all of you ppl are idiots if you have a problem with the people up their bet you won’t say it to them pussys, The people who run Antioch are idiots too , don’t blame everyone else because Antioch don’t know how to run or clean their town!!!!!!!
We all know hanging out on the streets in Antioch at 1 am never ever turns out good. Im not saying that he deserved to be killed, but he put himself in that situation. Especially if he could ” barely walk” ? That entire area is trouble during the day and at night its 10xs worse. Pussies are people that make excuses for these dumb asses, so stop being one.
