East Lancaster says
Lancaster is a cesspool. It doesn’t help that we have a mayor who doesn’t even live here. Maybe if we had a mayor and council that better represented our residents by living here and representing the whole city and not just the west side, we could see some improvement. Hydrogen and solar are nice, but when you can’t leave your house at night due to fear of being robbed or shot, they really don’t care. Today’s paper had a frightening map of all the crimes committed in Lancaster. It is a mess.
Mike says
You leftists literally voted for the policies that have led to the conditions in Lancaster. The Mayor can’t prosecute anyone. Only the DA can, and he refuses to prosecute many crimes that once would have ensured jail time for the lawlessness that goes on. You got what you asked for and now you’re complaining about it.
Tim Scott says
If I got what I asked for we wouldn’t be reading the swill you write.
frey says
and you would be UNABLE to write…not that you can now felonious monk.

You ever write a book? Tell us about it, or STFU.

“If I got what I asked for we wouldn’t be reading the swill you write”
And what’s that? Censorship of all opposing thought. Of course you would ask for something like that you old red.

Actually I have repeatedly asked for Mike to fall out of a helicopter.

I wrote a book. The title is All the Times Rex Told The Truth.
It is the world’s thinnest and shortest book.

We’re very impressed by the brilliance and elegance of your comments (sarcasm). They reflect the immaturity, emptiness and ignorance of your personality. Childish schoolyard slurs and foolish insults are not hurtful, they just give us something to mock and laugh at you for. You must be proud.

If you want to put more people in jail to let them languish instead of training them to be useful citizens you start by building more jails. That means higher taxes. Jails – like Highways – bridges – speed limits are part of the Socialist aspect of out Capitalist/Socialist society. If a new jail were proposed with a 30 million dollar bond – would you vote for it?
Clarity says
How would the mayor living here or not affect crime rates?
Get a clue…
Complain about realistic issues and you’ll get some resolved. Keep whining about matters that should not be any of your concern, and you’ll spend your life worrying about crap you cannot change.
WeNeedAMayorWhoLivesHere says
A mayor that lived here and interacted with residents would have a better understanding of the reality that is living in Lancaster. Spending $10 million on a spy plane is obviously the work of an out of touch leader. Maybe if he lived here, walked the streets of east Lancaster, hired people to connect with the community, had more officers on patrol, developed programs and community policing, we would see a change. They do a better job of that in Palmdale and their crime is always lower. How can it be that two cities so close to each other can be so far apart when it comes to crime? It has to do with leadership, and in Lancaster, the lack of leadership.
one-six right says
It’s customary for a Mayor to live in the town he is Mayor of. In many cases it is required. If Rex spends all of his time at the beach he should not be Mayor of Lancaster.
If DJT committed crimes he should be held accountable.
House Arrest, no firearms, not golf, no Fox News.

How childish
Vanessa Biel says
It was all because someone bumped into some else and didn’t know who did it so they decided to shoot
Connie says
Wow that horrible I pray that God will have more mercy on them than they showed the two that shot.
This is just sicking
Sandy Ferrell Sr says
As long as it’s People of Color no one cares. Start putting People in places thats going to help you all that live in these Communities.
Truth says
“No one cares” because everyone is fatigued with people who have low IQ levels, are shortsighted and cannot control their emotions. Did that ever occur to you?
Tim Scott says
Honestly, I don’t care very much because I don’t go to “house parties” that are basically open to the public. I also don’t drive around at 2:15 in the morning, so I don’t get too excited about the widespread drunk driving. While I don’t look at these things as any kind of positives, they are just not high in my priorities because there are things that directly affect me, and there are things that affect really large segments of the population, and those things take up my attention.
deas says
you forgot to mention the bath house you frequent, it takes up most of your time.
Tim Scott says
How many screen names you gonna use here Tweedledumb? Why does someone with nothing to say have to pretend they are a bunch of people saying it?
B says
That’s not me
Tim Scott says
Unimaginative slurs with multiple screen names posted minutes apart…certainly part of your usual style. Of course it could be Tweedledumber, vapid bigots are so hard to tell apart.
Bee says
“Bigots”
How original… lol
