Another Peoria homicide
Your feigned concern grows tiresome JustWrong. The national murder rate is 5 / 100,000 according to FBI stats (2018).
Peoria's 2019 population est. by the US Census Bureau was 110.417, so this 7th homicide places them at 127% of the national average. (https://www.pjstar.com/news/20200718/ma ... de-of-2020)
AGAIN Washington, IL had a second murder for a town of 16,500 people. They're already at 242% of the national average.

You mean its not the flu!?!
I’m not the one who turned “this 7th homicide“ into a statistic before the body was even cold. I’m sure his family appreciates YOUR concern.
Anyone else want to discuss this? Any ideas on how Peoria can tamp down the gun violence? Bring back Don’t Shoot? Earlier curfews? Federal help in curtailing gang violence? Reopen basketball courts and baseball fields so there is something to do besides shooting at one another?

FYI: The PJ Star reported it as Peoria's 7th homicide when I replied to your umptieth post on shootings. No one seems to want to discuss it because you are just grinding the same old crank.JustRight wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 1:27 pm I’m not the one who turned “this 7th homicide“ into a statistic before the body was even cold.

Mapleton board discusses member’s ‘colored people’ comments
https://www.pjstar.com/news/20170712/ma ... e-comments
MAPLETON — Concerns that one member of the Mapleton Village Board previously made racist comments dominated discussion at Tuesday’s board meeting.
The board discussed remarks made by Alice Dailey during a streets and alleys committee meeting in May. An audio recording of the conversation was played at Tuesday’s meeting, and copies of the transcript were distributed to board members and meeting attendees.
“I’m sorry, we have too many colored people coming into town on Tuesdays and Thursday nights to play ball down (at the Hollis Recreation/Fitness Center),” Dailey said at the May meeting. She later discusses ways to “divert them” with detour signs.
During Tuesday’s meeting, Dailey said she had suggested putting up detour signs to warn anyone leaving the recreation center of Mapleton’s streets, which are winding and often unsafe to navigate at night.
“Bring them down here and around, away from that intersection (of First and Maple streets),” Dailey said during the meeting. “I’ve been here where there’s been bad wrecks at that intersection.”
Board members also discussed the meaning of the phrase “other breed,” which Dailey had said during the May committee meeting.
On Tuesday, board member Brad Rusterholz said he was in “shock” when he heard Dailey use the phrase. But Dailey said she was referring to white residents.
“You didn’t ask me about (that phrase) at the (May) meeting,” Dailey told Rusterholz.
One resident said he didn’t believe Dailey’s comments in the earlier committee meeting were particularly offensive.
“I read this (transcript) and I don’t see anything where it refers to separating the breeds or anything like that,” he said. ”‘Colored people’ is not offensive, and ‘breeds’ is not an offensive word.”
Other residents said they thought Dailey sounded like she was trying to “herd” people out of town.
“It sounds like you’re trying to herd them out of town like cattle, that’s what it sounds like on that tape,” one woman in the audience said. “And that’s wrong.”
Some members of the Village Board attempted to make a motion to cite Dailey with an ordinance violation for her comments, but they were unable to find an ordinance that fit the issue.
Mayor Carl Bishop said the town needed to be more mindful of the minorities that lived in Mapleton.
“I’m very strongly against racism,” Bishop said.
