When it comes to violent crime, Mr. Thorpe will blame property owners, business owners, police, etc. etc., but he never puts responsibility where it belongs: on the perpetrators. That doesn’t fit his narrative.
I respect that you have the balls to challenge the Mayor, unlike many people.

How can anybody talk this clown Mayor serious, especially after his April Fools crying rant.
This “mayor” is a laughing stock not only in Antioch, but elsewhere as well. They said they simply don’t understand how anyone, with half a brain, could vote for him.
It seems like people with less than half of a brain managed to migrate into this city and did the voting. They are mostly from Oakland and other criminal-infested town where the heat got to be too much for them. Now, they are here in our city. They got in here and they can be removed.
