It’s OK if they needed it.
That’s what the county DA says.
And the fraud VP Harris said too.
How’s the defund the police working out for you, worthless mayor.
Turning Antioch into Oakland.
It’s “just” a property crime, let’s keep sweeping everything under the rug.
Still celebrating african month.
Hope there’s an update and Suspect #2 is found. Whole area should be blanketed in monitored cameras and license-plate readers, it’s a sewer, isn’t it?
So? That den of iniquity, ROMI’s LIQUORS, got knocked over? This store should be SHUT DOWN by the City! It is nothing more than a gathering place for drug pushers which you can see operating in clear view on any day in front of that store as you drive by. They don’t even try to hide what they are doing. This place has always had problems with those who patronize it.
The City needs to get rid of this liquor store. It’s nothing but trouble! A total nuisance!
It’s not just the store, it’s all over town open your eyes
Shut it down?
I’ll have you know, with the whole defund police, this liquor store is job security for the local PD. I say, build twelve more just like it. Let them all be overrun with drugs and drug dealers. Then and only then will the people take back what is theirs, their freedom. Until then, you’re all slaves to the violence. All of ya.
Oh yeah! And you people made it even worse by electing a total idiot for mayor. You think that things are bad now, just wait and see what will happen! This city started going down from the mid 1960’s on and this has now accelerated thanks to ghetto goons like Thorpe, Wilson and Walker! Antioch has now become the new OAKLAND!
I would have made the thieves drink every single bottle of liquor they stole and do it as the police sat there and watch them chug-a-lug ever drop. No stopping except to unscrew another bottle. Down-the-old-hatch, guys!
Lol you are all racist you should be ashamed and I feel bad for your families . How is this any different than the last mayor. crime happens no matters who’s in charge obviously and what’s been defunded the police are still out in full effect… Stupid ass people.
