Ignorance abounds. Bet if those participating in and watching these shows resulted in the forfeiture of their vehicles, this would cease. But of course, work would be required to enact and unfortunately legislator’s are too busy focusing on “dumb” bills to care.
Once again additional proof criminal activity in Antioch has diminished.
How many houses ended up with bullet holes?
Voters take back your city next election.
