So, what’s new? Everything he says is ignorant.
In my 25 years in Antioch, he is better than the others. At least he tries to make things better. You just don’t like him or folks who don’t look like you
What is he making better?
This guy really has got to GTFO! Ignorance at its best!!
Oh sure! He’s “trying” to make things better? Like how? The word “trying” is useless. You either do something or you don’t! All he’s done is making things worse, but then this city’s slogan, as seen on the City Council website…. which says “A community that is proud of it’s heritage” .. is a bunch of bunk. He and his two cumpadres have no respect for Antioch’s heritage. If they did, they would high-tail-it out of the city! We used to have a good little city, but now we have crap thanks to these types!
He’s rapidly ruining Antioch with his two helpers! I didn’t vote for him for city council a few years ago after I did my research.
Yes! He sure is doing things for Antioch! He’s speeding up the city’s demise! We have to save our city from HIS destructive vision.
Lamar is about as useful to this city as a fart in a windstorm!
He’s making it better for the criminals moving in here. Defunding the APD sure helps them. Maybe he wants to turn this city into another OAKLAND, which now doesn’t have enough police to prevent the shootings and murders there. Oakland’s police force was already understaffed, so now they have fewer funds to pay them and I don’t think police from other jurisdictions are racing to go work for OPD. The APD is also understaffed. Tried to get someone to come out to resolve a problem here, but the dispatcher said they are short-handed. Isn’t that just terrific?
I can’t believe how these jackasses are doing their darndest to take this city down. They want to “defund” the police because they themselves for their asses kicked by the police — and rightfully so! I have nothing against “reforming” the police but I’m totally against defunding them. That’s just stupid! With fewer police officers to render aid in dangerous situations, what will happen is that individuals will have to “take care of business” in their own way to protect themselves. Look at Oakland where where their city council idiots cut $17 million out of the police budget and look what’s happening there? 60 people now killed and it isn’t JULY 4th yet. Even the Oakland mayor’s head is spinning over this. She knows what’s coming. Do you want the same thing here in Antioch? Because it’s coming here too. Mark my words!
Lamar is making everything lamer! Antioch is going down the tubes fast!
