District Attorney’s office and Judges now it is your turn to keep our communities safe.

Where did Antioch go wrong??????? Aug 2, 2014 - 10:19 am

It is not the DAs Office nor Judges that let criminals go or out into the community. It is the law or lack of evidence that is brought fourth.

You need to rethink that one. We need our court revamped to make sure these guys go in and don’t come out until the sentence is done. Our courts would just as soon let everyone out.

Again Julio you do not know what you are talking about. The courts are governed by the constitution of the Unites States. There are then laws that are enacted by the people, via elected officials. The courts must abide by the constitution and laws that are in place. The courts or should I say Judges do not want to set these cri!minals free but they have to abide by the LAW. Please educate yourself before you place blame.

This is good news. Since most of these criminals are on section 8, why not follow up with actions like informing the housing authority ? That would cancel their vouchers.

Reginald, That is a great idea. Maybe the Mayor will push for that so things can get better. Yo, THUG LIfe, Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come Fo You ? Shooting Veterans and young women in their sleep is just unacceptable. You need to take your bro’s to the shooting range so when they do shoot each other nobody else gets hit.
