  1. Crime is out of control in our City of Lancaster! Rex has failed to make our city safer.

    • He doesnt care. This happens everywhere unfortunately..mayor has an “eye in the sky” just wasting money like he always does

      • That ten million in city money bought Wrecks substantial personal political support. That’s called corruption, not waste.

  2. Disgusting that the victim had to lay there an extra day because of sheriffs laziness

    “a report of human remains found by a passerby a day earlier along the side of the road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.”

    • It was the resident’s laziness, they found the body Monday & waited until Tuesday to call it in to the cops.

      • My Understanding is that police say they monitor all the desert areas especially since all these bodies being dumped in the ‘Boondocks’ (Areas where there is mostly deserted Landscape) Why have they not Put cameras up..They took the drone that use to watch our areas so why not figure out how to monitor and catch the criminals

        • These areas are not in the boondocks, unless you call the AV the boondocks which than, it is. Boondoggle actually. Land of thieves, cutthroats reta*ds and rejects

          • LivingAV, our mayor suggested such. I don’t feel comfortable breaking the law and carrying a concealed loaded weapon without a permit. What if I forget I have it and try to get on a plane? I’d be in big trouble.

        • The “eye in the sky” is a worthless giveaway to the Mayors buddies. It should have helped and made a difference. Boondoggle!
