"Did you know that it is estimated that there are 60,000 to 90,000 gang members in Chicago alone! They could take control of the city with they were organized and motivated."

Your estimate is low. I've heard that the number is closer to 250,000, but that includes all gangs, even the splinters. The greatest threat we here in Northern Illinois face is from the so-called "latin" gangbangers, primarily the Mexican and Salvadoran ones, and there are a LOT of them. The town of Cicero has all but become a Mexican state unto itself; it is virtually all Mexican, and it bears little resemblance to an American town. If you hear English spoken in Cicero you're hearing an American who took a wrong turn and is pleading for his life.

"Then annihilate them, kill them, rid our country of them, NOW. We don't need to know the 'root causes' of their hate. We don't need to barter with them. We don't need to understand anything about them, other than they want our complete way of life destroyed. And, us along with it. End of story."

Yup. By the simple fact they want to kill us makes them fair game, as far as I'm concerned.

There's a whole bunch of them up here in Chicagoland, as well.

Peoria blows anyways. The only good thing that ever came from there was my lovely wife.

I would think a bit differently if the muslim community within the US took out a full page ad/radio spot/ television spot, etc. decrying the acts of the extremist muslims, but we hear & see nothing.

Remember, immediately after 9-11 this muslim community screamed that they were being attacked on the streets of the US. Of course, they didn't say WHAT streets, or WHAT city. It was all just BS. Just looking for sympathy.

Lock up your goats, Sweetie!!

Looking at the list,,, makes me think I-80 would be a good route from Denver to Illinois. Iowa City is on I-80,, and a more liberal town you'll not find; any type of nontraditional behavior is acceptable there.

Just for good measure, I think I'll lock up my Sheep!!

...(how) America will fight terrorism... thorough police work on a daily basis, looking for a deadly enemy hiding somewhere in central Illinois.

Sure. But with millions of illegal aliens to sift through, it becomes an almost impossible task, especially with our catch-and-release policies.

In the meantime, they continue to pour through our borders from all directions and then hide in the seas of their own making.

"After the FBI seminar, Sheriff McCoy introduced himself to the speaker/agent who then told McCoy about a "circuit" that runs from the West to East coasts."

How is it that the sherrif and the Peoria police chief up to now had no clue abut any of this activity??? Why is the Champaign police chief not talking to the press? Where's my gun???
