Downtown Antioch turned into a war zone.

When will message be sent to criminal element of Antioch?
Looks like someone didn’t get the memo on the “chill ” part.
These pos criminals need to shove their guns up their own ass and pull the trigger
Just a quick question: What was Monica’s doing hosting an after hours party with over 200 people? Someone not aware of what has been happening around town.
Disappointed that the city council seems to promote the violence. Glad I moved out of California when I did. I feels sorry for the residents of this once beautiful city.
I give Monica’s credit for trying. Anrioch is in desperate need of entertainment venues, especially for the younger crowd. I’ve long hoped the downtown could be filled with nighttime coffee shops, dining, music. Nonsense like this only sets us back 10 years, at least, Because some people can’t behave themselves and think grievances have to settled with guns. This is not only aggravating, but very sad
Unfortunately, Antioch is filled with people who lack home training and don’t know how to go out and enjoy themselves without having it result in some kind of chaos or violence. I love to eat at Monica’s, but would never attend an event there or any other establishment in Antioch for entertainment after dark.
Yes , let’s have a party for the gang bangers and not notify the Antioch police. I’m sure if the cops showed up before the murder started , they would be labeled as racists by the mayor and the 13% people.
Antioch cream of the crop citizens and a city council and police chief to go with it
Has Lamar blamed this on the police yet?
Antioch is brimming with this element and has embraced all of it. The hoods understand very will they have little to fear. This is not normal. You don’t see this happening in Clayton, Walnut Creek, Martinez, Lafayette…etc. Do yourself a solid and sell. I can’t express strongly enough how much better it is to not be living in the area anymore. The grass is much greener elsewhere.
