Thanks to the liberal laws in California by that moron Jerry Brown, he’ll get a few fines and be released sooner than later!! We are going to hell in a hand basket folks and when these idiots elect Killary Clinton, she will release more criminals, illegals, refugees into our neighborhoods!!
Sounds like you’ve been watching way too many Bill O’Reilly/Alex Jones mashups.
Gotta love these outstanding people
from Oakland. Lmao
Damn Josh was always so calm , I would have never seen this coming ! He must have really been struggling with something to go off the edge like that ! My prayers go out to everyone involved in this horrible accident ! May they find God.
Complainers in Oakland claim newcomers are ruining they’re “culture” in Oakland. So blight, crime, drugs, violence is culture? Now they want that culture in Antioch? Get out of here.
It doesn’t matter who’s in office. There will always be the criminal element. And, yes, I’m a Republican.
