I don’t have a problem on Lancaster Boulevard, and I’m a white haired lady. I go through the day wherever I am, being observant and not living in fear.
Sheriff of Fractured Jaw says
Exactly Claire.
That’s called ‘freedom’ not that ‘freedom’ cons yap about as they store armaments in their fortresses fearing everything as in those open carry states.
When there is a mass shooting, they run out and buy more guns fearing confiscation.
And, then they die having lived a life of “freedom” trapped in prisons of their own making.

So Lancaster Blvd isn’t even safe at 2 in the afternoon..
Terry Irons says
Not on the Blvd. our City Council knows they will never be held accountable and the Mayor already knows everything so sit back and accept there is nothing we can do but stay away.
