Crime is crime, so go after anyone that does any kind of criminal act in Lancaster. Starting with the recent overload of graffiti vandals.

This bounty is unfair as it will open the door for those holding grudges against law abiding citizens. It is unfair because it will open the door for the many racists living in the AV who will call on a person based on the color of their skin and their religion. I am sure you can find a better way to handle this then an open season and a free for all.

At the December 13th City Council meeting, Mayor Rex Parris stated that he doesn't want to rehabilitate gang members, he wants to remove them. He also stated at the 3:30 mark of the video below the following:
"If I could do a $1,000 bounty for Crips and Bloods who commit felonies in this town, and make it DEAD or alive, I would. I WOULD."

Come to the next City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 10th at 5:00 p.m. to tell the Mayor that his statement is outrageous and it will not be tolerated. Complete a speaker's card and let him know exactly how you feel.

My 6th grade son has adhd and sometimes his comprehension is not up to par. He knows very little about gangs due to me keeping him and my 5 yr old sheltered. His fav color is red and green because of super heroes. Id hate for them to be walking home clueless and get messed with due to this B.s! Rex is out of his mind, and if there's that kind of money being thrown around while the homeless are starving and cold there is a problem.

This is extremely racist! I have many friends and family that have been victim to this city. And in turn are spending their life in prison. Without even killing anyone or anything super serious!!! This Valley needs help. I need someone to come in and reevaluate all the past cases of excessive sentencing!!!

I completely disagree. Many colored people are classified as gangbangers from stereotyping.

I'm already been a victim of an over policed city, who's only concern is with ruining the youth of this community with petty convictions. The prey on the people that can't afford representation. They put them in situations and on a path to be career criminals. This will only further this type of agenda. We need to rehabilitate and educated these kids and show them there is hope and they can be more than just labeled a "gangbanger".
