The following letter was submitted by Mike Hyde of Brentwood regarding the March 7 pepper spray incident at the Rockin’ Jump.
Here is the letter:
I am a Brentwood resident raising children and grandchildren here. This irresponsible and apparently planned criminal attack on someone in a crowded public establishment using a chemical weapon of all things cannot be tolerated.
I expect the Brentwood Police to conduct a thorough investigation and anyone involved has to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The perpetrator and their conspirators are roaming free in our community and that should concern all of us.
In Aurora Colorado an angry person entered a public establishment with a weapon and hurt people. In Brentwood California an angry person entered a public establishment with a weapon and hurt people.
What if the Brentwood criminals had guns instead of pepper spray?

This person or persons must be prosecuted. There is far too much of this going around. I hope this family has a restraining order against this family and the right kind of one.
BPD won’t touch this one with a 20 foot pole. Why? … NAACP.
How dare you compare this to the Aurora shooting, you should be completely ashamed of your self Mike Hyde. People lost their lives, families were destroyed in Aurora this incident is in no way shape or form the same thing and you’re pathetic for even thinking it’s on the same level.
Gabriel. This is exactly how the Aurora type situation starts. Mike Hyde is right and I don’t even know him. This could have been so much worse. You are pathetic for not thinking at all. This stuff needs to be stopped!
I support this letter. One day its pepper spray the next time its a gun because someone thinks they can get away with it. People thinking this is nothing need a check at reality.
I want to see the person or persons who used the pepper spray charged with a crime also. This type of behavior can not be tolerated.. Our kids deserve a safe place to grow up,
I agree with the letter writer. I don’t live in East County but it could happen anywhere. Identify and punish those involved.
Considering the number of gun related crimes just a mile west of the location of this incident in the neighboring city of Antioch, I’m somewhat relieved it was only pepper spray.
If BPD would identify the suspect in the pepper spray incident then we can all be on the lookout for that criminal just like the Brentwood resident that spotted that bank robbery suspect yesterday.
Why is it taking so long to identify this suspect ?
There is not too many mysterys here, this was not a childhood prank gone wrong….it was a planned attack with malice, motive, forethought and opportunity.
The concern of the residents is that the this (or these) criminal(s) are still walking among us.

This has happened on crowded BART trains too. I support the letter writer. This was a children’s establishment and should be prosecuted with more than a slap on the wrist. BPD knows the offenders on this one.
