Hope he serves some serious time and not put right back on the street. Grateful no innocent bystander was hurt. Let the good residents of Antioch take back their town and put these low life thugs where they need to be.
The good residents of Antioch are far and few… Sorry. Kid looks like he needs rehab. Sad, for all involved
Cherry: The good people are the majority in Antioch. It is the same 10% over and over who cause the problems.
First off I’m surprised he’s not black and second I wish the family of the victim just shot him and that would be one less loser on the street.
LMAO.
“Antioch, the city where the criminals are protected and garbage elected”
He’d better pull his pants up now
That is my son Dominic. I am his father who lives 2500 miles away. His mother passed almost exactly a year ago. His sister got guardianship and let him run wild while she collected the Social Security for him from his mother dying. Now maybe I can get my parental rights recognized and I can put him in the Youth Challenge here at the National Guard base who will turn him around. Seems fathers in Contra Costa have no rights. I spent thousands on an attorney and I could have prevented this. Blame the county. He was NOT raised that way and it breaks my heart. Hopefully he WILL get enough jail time that he gets his, high school diploma and he is an adult when he gets out. Please, everyone accept my heartfelt apology to the community and the family.
