Shame on you, AV Times! Completely failed to report on a big part of the story, probably bc it doesn’t fit your narrative. THIS WAS A KNOWN SUPERSPREADER EVENT! It was a large party! Who was in attendance? Yup, doesn’t fit your narrative.

My mom told me it’s the different Mexican drug cartels that are going at each other. They hire local gangsters to take out dealers who work for rival cartels. At the moment the Zeta cartel are attacking the Sinaloa cartel to control territory.

sometimes not saying something is better ten saying something. words care long ripples and talking about something you know nothing about is not always the smartest of options.
F.B.I. says
It’s time people in the Antelope Valley wake up and face reality. The Mexican cartels are causing a major crime spree in Palmdale and Lancaster with their drug trafficking operations. Their organized crime operations and cartel competition are creating a bloody battleground in the Antelope Valley.

What do we give up this time liberals? Pots and pans? Ice cream bars? After shave lotion? Because if we all fork over enough personal property to the pigs [and keep on forking] the proud “people of color” will finally be safe.
Tired of the Whining says
Proud ‘people of color’?? Do you think it’s only the ‘people of color’ getting wiped out and being victims of crime? Wake up and smell the coffee or whatever you are ingesting. It isn’t even the , what do you call them? White Privileged? It is every color or creed or non colored or non American and American. Why is it you think you are the only one being abused?
Surprised says
This is really surprising. Lancaster is one of the safest cities in California.
Jill says
No Palmdale is, the report says Lancaster is the worst city. Palmdale isn’t better, but that’s what the report says. I lived in east Lancaster n west Palmdale, let me tell you you can tell the difference. P
Crime statistics says
If you pull crime statistics, Palmdale is less than half as dangerous as Lancaster on a per-capita basis
beachcomber says
Of course it is if you live in Laguna Beach.
East Lancaster says
Lancaster is one of the safest cities in California when you don’t count the majority of cities that are safer. Including Palmdale. East Lancaster is Sirenville and the BLVD is no place to be at night. But, hey, we have the Eye in the Sky. Sleep easy.
