ANTIOCH, Calif. - Videos posted on social media show how chaos erupted at the Contra Costa County Fair in Antioch Saturday. There were huge brawls involving young people who appear to be teenagers. People are seen screaming, throwing punches, and pulling hair.
The fair closed early that night because of the sprawling violence.

When I was a young boy and even later the county fair was a magic event in my life. Lots of memories. But then I was just a white kid from the country. Looking at the video it appears to be a different crowd. Maybe only certain youths would need a chaperone.

Pretty disgusting that you can’t have a large gathering anywhere without groups of “teens” starting fights and even shootings.

There was a rumor that they were hiring at the tilt-a-whirl ride and everybody wanted to be the first to apply.

Demonstrators Call for Removal of Officers Involved in Antioch PD Scandal
By Pete Suratos • Published May 19, 2023
It’s been more than a month since the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office publicly released a series of racist text messages between Antioch police officers. And on Friday, demonstrators gathered in Martinez to make sure the issue is not forgotten, saying the officers involved in the scandal need to be fired.
Several of the officers are already on leave pending an external investigation, but for community organizers like Shagoofa Khan, who was referenced by officers in the text messages, suspension isn’t enough.
“The community of Antioch do not want those officers who were involved in those text messages ever patrolling the city of Antioch or anywhere ever again,” said Khan.
Plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against the city of Antioch were also there. Their lawyer, John Burris, says it’s important not to let anyone sweep the topic under the rug.

A separate booth for chaperones. Have them point out the ones they’re escorting. Give the chaperones free tickets.
