    • @ron, you do get robbed when you give money to any Rex controlled or Rex supporting church. There are many churches in the Valley actually doing the Lord’s work, and many organizations that are not churches also doing the same. Rex churches serve Caesar.

      • Ami…Christ (Head of His church), will handle all things when it is time. It is not our call. He is the perfect righteous Judge, and we are not qualified.

        • Alexis that is true, but we are not to be mindless sheep. Christ taught his followers to beware of false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

          He also told them that he was sending them out as sheep in the midst of wolves so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

          Sitting back and ignoring what is happening in the AV is not an option. Yes, He is the Righteous Judge, but we as His people must speak the truth and stand up for the truth and the the oppressed.

          • Ami…I will follow in Jesus’ footsteps and be subject to the governing authority, just as He did. My citizenship doesn’t lie here, and I will continue to ask for His guidance each day. When He comes then and only then will He set up His government. I will continue being a Sabbath keeper (Saturday), asking Him to write His Royal Law in my mind and in my heart. Have a peaceful day. Friday was the last Day of Unleavened Bread, and I am grateful for my Provider, and His instruction.

          • I guess you missed the part where Jesus went into the temple and turned over a few tables. When the church does the work of Caesar rather than the work of the Lord, it is never goo.

            Meekness is not weakness. He stood up for the oppressed.

            I will join you in asking for His guidance.

          • Ami…Your eyes haven’t been opened yet. I will not argue with you about the Word of God on a public forum.

          • No arguments from me. I have no issue with casting light on darkness and helping to set the captives free. Have a blessed day. Will you at Rev. Rex’s prayer meeting?

  2. The voters do not care about having the highest crime rate in the County of LA. And prove it at every election by keeping these phony Republicans in power. Just follow the money the City Council makes for their supporters. Embarrassing!

  4. The police should do what England is doing, putting videos on every street to monitor the entire city. Cartels and the Italian Mafia run Lancaster.

    • Rex wants cameras on every streetlight. He is more Orwellian than what Orwell envisioned. No thank you. There are tons of safe communities across the nation that don’t have gimmicks like the Eye in the Sky or cameras on every streetlight. The problem we have in Lancaster is a bully mentality that starts at the top. Why is crime lower in Palmdale and Santa Clarita?

      • He’s your mayor because all the lazy voters didn’t vote bother to vote. Been that way since 2008, so you get what you deserve for non action. You still haven’t figured out that complaining doesn’t change a thing.

        • You’re right, Alexis. People are too lazy to vote. Here in Lancaster, the ones who do are too stupid to know better. We’re screwed and we know it.

          • Actually, the ones who do are not stupid, they are on the take. I know a guy in Lancaster who lives right down the street from one of the Wrecks cabal members. The cops patrol his street 24/7. His neighborhood gets infrastructure improvements every time any developer pays a fee anywhere in the city. His property value goes up faster than anywhere else in the valley.

            On some level he is aware of the unfairness of the Wrecks regime, but since he really doesn’t pay much if any attention to local politics that level is way below the surface. If he turns out for the local election he wouldn’t be stupid to vote for Wrecks.

        • Isn’t it FUNNY.
          Lil Rob face-to-face a no description of the suspects somebody trying to cover something up

      • James Miller, a lifetime member of “Stormfront,” thinks there should be more mayors like Rex Parris. He also hates Jews.

        • James Miller would fit right in in Lancaster. Maybe Rex can put him on his Section 8 committee. Or team him up with Stan Muhammad. The possibilities are endless.

          • Rex proclaimed Lancaster is a Christian city so if you’re Jewish, you’re SOL. Same if your Muslim, Hindu, or Rastafarian, although with his new commitment to growing weed, maybe he will include them.

            As a Christian, I am embarrassed by the actions of Rex and Lancaster. It’s certainly not the Christianity I learned growing up or have been taught.

        • It goes much deeper than using the word “criminals.” You can’t fix what you don’t understand.

  5. “A detailed description of the suspects was not immediately available.”

    It must have been three guys dressed up like the Easter Bunny.

    • Lancaster Robbery…Easter comes from “Ishtar” or (Astarte), the name of a Chaldean Goddess, and was worshipped as The Queen of Heaven. A pagan practice. Shame on those Easter bunnies, right?

  6. It only makes sense to have an armed church overseer… Someone that’s not praying when everyone else is. Consider that one incident that occurred when a white dude shot up a black church during a bible study. It could have been any race with any kind of mal intention. The point is that it happened and it could have been avoided or could have been reduced to minimal casualty if someone that’s a good guy had a 25.(ect.) that was easily accessible.

    • Then in LA County the good guy would be arrested and sued and wish he had let the perps do their thing. In LA County, he would be the “bad guy”.

      2nd Amendment does not apply in this country of Socialist Republic of Californiastan.

      MAGA

      • The word “socialist” and “republic” does not go together well. And it’s sad that the turds of california (including lawyers) think that the suspect should be able to get away with robbery, rape, etc and be able to sue the victim if he/she fights back with force. Unlike the victim, police don’t have that problem. Hell, they probably are the robbery suspects along with the lawyers. Make America Not Pathetic…Again.
