They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police.
Sounds like it's time to chlorinate the gene pool. ::overkill::

Peorians living in fear
This eye-witness account is from Paul Wilkinson, president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association:
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. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. fights were breaking out among them. They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.
Cars were doing U turns on the streets just to avoid the mob, mostly male. One youth stated his grandfather was white and several assaulted him on the spot. One police officer answered the call. The youth split into two large groups, one heading north, the other south. They were also yelling racial threats to the police officer but he was outnumbered. Another police car did not show up until after the youth finally dispersed and the patty wagon (van) also eventually showed up.
Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with smaller groups of 10-12 are out threatening children and adults a few evenings a week or later into the night. The times vary, even occuring during the day. In talking to the police officer, they are short staffed. Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors. In other words buckle down, it’s not even safe to sit on your porch or go into your yards.
“The fifth large mob action in about a month.” Wow. This is really outrageous. Why is this neighborhood having to put up with this? “Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors”? Seriously? That’s the best we can do for our fellow citizens’ safety?
This needs to be addressed, and quickly.

Black yoot unemployment nearing 43%. Read this carefully: The figure is based on yoots willing to work and actively "looking for work."

Let's say that the real figure in Urban areas is closer to 60%. What else are they gonna do but take to the streets?

The streets, that's where people unwilling to work have always been.

Just an hour or so ago,I was thinkimg about this Peoria thimg and Gran Torino
I decided the ending was a real disappointment because the character was a victim of white guilt
I won't allow anyone to lay that on me

I didn't see ol' Clint as a victim of White guilt in that movie. I saw him as an old bigot whose experience in a neighborhood transformed into a ghetto caused his bigotry to fester to the point where he couldn't see beyond race until he had a reason. I didn't see him as sacrificing himself because of White guilt, but because he finally found someone and something worth sacrificing himself for. He was surely atoning for a lot of demons - some of them related to bigotry. But you remember his worthless children and grandchildren, his unquenched grief over the loss of his wife, his buried angst over deeds committed during war, constantly coughing up blood, and finally, all that juxtaposed against the kindness of his Korean neighbors. I never got White guilt from that movie. Just regret, finally overcome, and resolve to do good.

Perhaps that's the reason for Ron Paul sponsoring legislation for the legalization of pot.
Potheads are not known to riot.
Or do much of anything, actually, except lay around getting stoned and acquiring more pot.

I too saw no white guilt in Eastwood's character. I also did not see him as a bigot.
This was not about a man overcoming bigotry; a real bigot never would have been able to make the change that Eastwood's character did. This was about a deeply embittered man, a man who was once willing to sacrifice his life to protect the values he believed in, only to see those values rejected by his family and many in his world. A man who discovers, after he learns that he has a fatal illness, that his values still exist in a new generation and that he is again willing to sacrifice his life to protect them.

If this story in true ( and I'm doubtful ) why didn't it make some national venue like FOX ?
-
I had to do some extensive "Googling" to get more info on this story . Although a local T.V. station ran a short news story about it , saying it made "national news" , the only thing I could find were numerous blog postings and the only eye-witness quoted in every blog post was Paul Wilkerson , the black president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association .
Altamont Park is a neighborhood which has an almost fifty-fifty black to white mix . A commentor on one of the blogs stated that his family had once lived in Altamont Park years ago but that today it's "a sh*t-hole" . Other blog commentors questioned why there was no national coverage of this incident if , indeed , it had happened at all . Something did happen but until a legitimate news organization investigates it , the whole thing will remain rather murky .

Feral scum on the prowl for whitey and news gets quashed? If it was a hoax perpetrated by whitey to try to sully minorities the MFM would be all over that, thus I think the basis of the story is true, hence its cleansing from the web, but the size and extent of the lawlessness may be open for debate. That it would exist at all is entirely unacceptable and highlights another reason for CCW! But given the horsesh*t commie politics of that town, any conservative or independent (especially whites) should no longer be living anywhere neat those city limits, period.
-
...Something did happen but until a legitimate news organization investigates it , the whole thing will remain rather murky .
So in other words, unless Fox reports on it, it didn't happen?

You know damned well that's not what I meant . I haven't seen even a whiff of reportage on this from the AP , Reuters or AFP . Until I do , I'll remain circumspect regarding the nature of this story . If it's 100% true then it's too big to get buried .

I was just bein' flip sectionhand. Not really suggesting that was your point as much as I was commenting on the absence of legitimate media.

From link provided by Pandora:
Peoria City Councilwoman Barbara Van Auken said Sunday she is outraged by Wilkinson's allegations. (note: Wilkinson is guy who called in the incident)
Van Auken, who has known Wilkinson for six years, said he's had a history of "wildly exaggerating" reports, many of them involving race. And police are well aware of it.
"We have some very gullible new council members who were dumb enough to believe him," she said, declining to name names.
-
Kenny Rogers, who has lived on Sheridan for 10 years, called police Friday after he saw the group "hollering" and stopping traffic on the street. He did not hear anyone yell that they wanted to kill white people.
Rogers says the crowd was running wildly around yards and porches. It was the largest Rogers, 38, had ever seen in the neighborhood.
"They were doing a show of force," he said, "to show everybody, 'Hey, this is their hood.'"
-
Maybe Kenny is exagerating also?

eh?
-
I do believe if I were the "gullible new council members" I'd be making it a personal mission to find all the dirt on Van Auken. I can read between the lines with that comment. She's probably an entrenched Democrat "councilor for life" -- almost certainly from a heavily "minority" district -- who can barely contain her disdain for a new crop of elected representatives who were probably propelled by the same wave of voter discontent associated with the Tea Party, etc.
-
The article in Pan's link is emblozoned with this header: "Some claim reports of racist Peoria mob are exaggerated"
So, some are making that claim, OK fine, let's investigate their motivation for saying so. Oh, my bad, this is the MFM we're talking about...never mind.
Also, it says "reports" plural, not just one (by some alleged nutjob), more than one. So it appears the police and the media are complicit in a cover-up of the facts. Probably because of the old excuse about "not wanting to inflame the situation". Yeah, whatever, if it was a pack of feral whitey's stopping traffic and ranting crap that would have been played up from one end of the nation to the other!
I think they are still covering minority asses, period.
Prove me wrong!
-
I don't believe you're wrong, Libertas; I agree the media's fast at work with the whitewash (no pun intended-- it's progressive Whites spearheading it).
I thought it interesting, however, that the "conflicting reports" meme is already up and running.
-
I think they want that to be the last word, so I would be shocked if any big MFM outlets talk about it, except if it is only to shame whites into casting racist allegations against peaceful minority youth enjoying a spirited walk through the fair city of Peoria.
I can tell you first hand that down in the middle of Keith Ellison's district in Midtown Minneapolis where I unfortunately have to work, nonwhites routinely walk all over the place without using crosswalks (often mothers with fricken strollers!) or using traffic lights...and their driving habits are equally grotesque, and people mouthing crap at one another is commonplace.
It won't take much to set tempers afire one directions or another.
I am surprised more of this isn't happening.
Perhaps it is, perhaps it is being quashed and people don't know the full extent.
But, in the Age of Obama I predict it will grow in intensity and frequency.

I have noticed this everywhere. They don't simply walk in front of traffic, they have a deliberately slow gait because they know exactly what they're doing. Part of it is just a natural disinclination to orderly behavior (I mean, look at Africa. Or Haiti. Or Detroit) but I think some of it is a thumbing of the nose, almost daring you to hit them.
I still just don't get it though. Why would you meander in front of 4000 pound moving objects for any reason? Can they be that stupid? I have known dogs* that learn how to look before crossing a road, so come on.
* "Geez, are you saying dogs are smarter than minorities?" In my experience dogs are smarter than most people, minorities included! ::rolllaughing::

I think it's mostly the culture of "cool". Walking briskly and purposefully isn't "cool". That seems to be ingrained in many blacks. I don't know; maybe it's a holdover from the days of slavery. Slaves will naturally put forth the minimum possible amount of effort, and who can blame them?
I remember a few years ago when my boss hired a young black man to work in the shop. Once the shop foreman said, "Come over here, I'll show you what to do" and started walking across the shop, assuming the new kid was right behind him. He got over to the other side of the building, turned around, and saw that the kid was only halfway across. He said, "Come on! My grandmother can walk faster than you!"

We're not Harlem or Compton or places like that...but Chicago is too close. Historically Chicago street punks have a habit of migrating to our liberal welfare haven, but the way Chicago has been going they've had less reason to migrate, hopefully that continues.
