Seems like every miscreant in the county has put down roots in Antioch. It’s an absolute shame what this city has been reduced to and what a magnet it’s become for criminals.
Corrupt DA Becton will probably let them out due to race .
Two more dirt bags off the street. Great job and keep locking these thugs up. Just keep locked up.
