Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. Thrush) to the 4 lane main drag (Sheridan). They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here.

Most of what you say I agree with but it doesn’t explain to my satisfaction the GOP lack of spine. I figure the short answer is “party discipline”. I suspect the foot soldiers are told by their higher-ups what to say and what not to say. But as to why the leaders and the whips etc. have chosen to play along? I still am searching for an explanation. Doesn’t make sense.

The mob would have called the police, warning them about a gun-totting nut and the police would have immediately responded by firing multiple flash-bang and tear-gas grenades into the home, setting it on fire and burning it to the ground.
That's what I think, but I might be a little cynical...
No apologies necessary...it happens.
I was just linking the two articles, that's all.
Peoria is my hometown. The intersection of Thrush & Sheridan in not in Pekin. It’s in the middle of Peoria.
It’s way past time to start shooting back. They are a minority and about to become more so.
Hiya Raebie..Can you give us anymore insight on this? What’s the local info?
Peoria, IL. Land of Obama.
Whenever most people think of a city, they think of the largest, most well-known one, in this case, Peoria, IL.

I’d also like to have a castle but the closest I’ll ever get is a White Castle..
My mom still lives there and I go back occasionally to visit..my 30 year HS reunion is coming up this summer...not sure I’m going back.
Peoria has certainly declined over the past 10-12 years. The house I grew up in is not essentially located in a ghetto. Peoria is the epitome of white flight out of the city...not even the inner city, but what used to be nice middle class neighborhoods. The taxes are off the hook and the schools are downright scary. Not the city I knew as a child.

that should be ‘now is esssentially a ghetto’.
So unfortunately, the problems of inner-city Chicago get exported to other smaller cities and towns.
The trouble is they are “African” Americans.
Maybe if they were American they would be more civil.
I had no idea there was so much black on white crime posted on youtube.
Cops are only “brave” when shooting a family dog.
I watched a series of tv documentaries about the exurbs and urban sprawl. The city of Cleavland was one of the places investigated. The inner city of Cleavland and the inner ring suburbs are losing population as former residents are being lured farther and farther out into the exurbs as large builders build developments of hundreds of homes at a time. This pulls people and money out to the outer rim of the exurbs while the older communities are abandoned. Of course absentee landlords eager to accept Section 8 funding will buy these homes and rent them to anyone who will pay. Since the landlords don't live in the neighborhood, they do not care about the quality of life in the community.
Conservatives have to look at the problems of urban sprawl and the too-fast growth of the exurbs. This phenomenon works for the fast money big developers but does long time harm to communities. Example: There are brand knew developments in California that have very few residents. The builders are now renting out these nice, expensive homes to Section 8 types in order to get their money back. Meanwhile there are a few families living in this development who paid top dollar for a nice home in a nice area, who are now faced with houses whose value has dropped and neighbors who would cut their throats so much as look at them. Overbuilding is something that can be destructive to communities in many ways.
