That is completely unprofessional Mayor Thorpe. Joking or not. You need to do better. You disgraced all of the people who voted for you, your constituency, and the Democratic Party that funds you.
I appreciate this tactful response rather than getting angry at it. Very clever. Thorpe is showing himself to be a true clown mayor. Thanks for the morning humor.
Sending an ” Easter basket” to Jason Burrow. God bless you sir. Maybe we’ll make it a trend. ✌?

It would have been A lot funnier and more befitting your attitude if you would have appointed Torres-Walker Mayor!
Unfortunately you both are making polices that effect us all. I have little to no faith in either of yours skills as policy makers. But you could do us all a favor and take your act on the road.
That couldn’t really have been posted by the mayor, right?
I didn’t vote for the guy for City Council and no way would I vote for this jerk for mayor! Are you kidding? This is the worst-of-the-worst! He has made Antioch into a laughing stock! Actually, I take this back! It is the idiots who elected him who made this town into a laughing stock! He must be gotten rid off.
Some of you need to have a sense of humor. You all sound like 40 year olds that don’t get any at night. Stay humble and laugh a little. It’s good therapy!
To Mr. Thorp, not my mayor, I am taking your childish April Fools post to heart, pack your damn bags and I’ll pay for the Uber ride out.
So clever Thorpe. It’s almost funny. What’s funnier is the dumbasses that voted for you, are probably feeling pretty stupid about now. It’s so awesome that you bragged about not having a criminal record and having an education. I guess we gotta give every adult a cookie now for doing what they’re supposed to do. Recall is underway bud. That won’t be a joke. Eres un pendejo la verdad
He finally speaks truth to power and yes I do believe he needs and has resigned. Dumb ass admits everything that is wrong with him. This needs to be posted on all social media to get the word out. Jump on Bart and say see yeah.
Was this posted by a grade school student? Is this really the mentality and maturity of the person running our city? Real leaders rise above the fray, not sink below.
Dope black mayor out
Wtf. Who voted this guy? Smack urself
JUSTLAUGH — I’m not 40 years old (just turned 25) and this so-called “mayor” is the worst thing to have happened to the city. He knows he’s been exposed by ECT and it’s a thorn in his side. I hope that thorn digs deeper to the point that he finally GETS IT that we want him out! Another problem is that Thorpe is NOT bright enough to understand and “GET THE MESSAGE!”
This post isn’t funny, but actually quite bizarre. I’m assuming it was written as some sort of tongue in cheek joke for April Fools Day, but there are very often times when sarcasm doesn’t convey as intended in written form, and if he really wrote this post, it’s clear he’s not witty enough to see that the “joke” was definitely lost along the way.
DONNA SALAZAR — I ignore their “policies” because they have nothing to recommend them as “leader.” The APD should accept government (military) equipment as they see fit. This equipment is FREE and none of the city’s finances are involved. Chief Brooks should thumb his nose at those 3 and tell them where to go! What will the trio do? Have the Chief and the police arrested? If the trio withholds salaries, then the Dept. of Labor can have their asses handed back to them. Have the rest of us arrested? Who will do that? We should just ignore them and not “attend” their piss-poor, useless meetings! They have no power over us and they know it even though it’s obvious that they are not very bright! ! Let them fade away!
Because people in District 1 election the illegally-run Torres-Walker who hates the police with such passion because they caught her committing a crime, the police should NOT respond to anyone in that area! Let them know what the consequences of “defunding” them. Remind them that elections have consequences and they will be singing a different tune.
