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.

Thanks.
Now, when I search, I get the correct map. However, what I pulled up first was showing something called “Mall Road” and the google business listings to the left were all Pekin addresses.
No idea what glitched.
Glad it isn’t built up, though. I had a friend who lived in Pekin, back in middle school (sometime around the last Ice Age), so I remember the ride out here.
The key component missing in all of this discussion regarding defending yourself is the fact that Illinois does not allow the upstanding citizen to carry. You can’t use your weapon to defend yourself unless you use your heavily registered hunting rifle/shotgun. Pull a handgun in self-defense and you are as good as gone - locked up for a really long time at one of the many fine ‘greybar hiltons’ located throughout the formerly great state of Illinois.
Those still there, GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
I do understand what you are saying and I do not want to take away people’s right to live where they want to, what I am saying is that there is overbuilding by these big developers who build 500 or more houses at a time. Are they building to the need of the community or are they trying to create a need by pulling people out of older suburbs to the new housing, knowing that new housing has the greater appeal to the consumer? And what happens to the buyers of the brand new housing? In ten years their homes will be worth less because there will be newer exurbs ten miles away.
If there is a boundless area where builders can keep on building, they will just keep on building until the housing market collapses. There seems to be a take-the-money-and-run philosophy. Is it really necessary to build developments of 500 or 900 houses at a time?
Everybody benefits from the housing bubble except for the homeowners who are left holding the bag. The builders become instant millionaires, the land owners make an instant windfall, the politicians get their palms crossed with silver and the homebuyers are happy for a while until the whole bubble colapses leaving them holding the bag. There have been a number of these housing developments that have been abandoned leaving homebuyers with no way out. Back in the late eighties/early nineties there was a similar real estate bubble that burst. I remember that condominiums were left abandoned because there was a fever to build condos and get rich quick back in those days. It is the get rich quick fever that is making our housing market unstable. Housing should not be an up-and-down, boom-or-bust business. It is not like striking gold in the old west. The housing market should be stable. I remember when it was stable but since the seventies it has been a roller-coaster ride.
I don’t understand all of the banking behind it, I do know that the Community Preservation Act pushed by Clinton pressured banks to give mortgages to cats, dogs and chickens but I think that overbuilding is a predatory activity as it pulls capital out of older communities, and I mean communities that may be twenty or thirty years old.
This seems to be the ghetto “crime-de-jour”. Remember when carjackings were all the rage?
The proper response is liberal dose of pepper spray & wood shampoo , lather-rinse-repeat as needed. (8^D)
My father was a career fire-fighter in Detroit, who retired in 1976. Because he was a city employee, we had to live in Detroit while he was a fire-fighter. I will never forget the last three years we lived in our nieghborhood. Our house was like a prison, and we could not leave the yard. It was simply too dangerous. White parents took turns driving groups of white students to and from school. I will never forget Micheal Pomeroy getting beat up, 2 houses down from us, both eyes swollen shut, and his face bleeding. My father, my brother, and I, went to help him, and I remember my dad literally punching the sh*t out of, and throwing, anyone who got in his way. Micheal was laying down on the ground, and he kept saying, in a really strange voice, “I’ve got to get out of here. I’ve got to get out of here.” He was a fifth grader, getting beat to a pulp by a bunch of black kids...twenty or thirty, or so, all elementry students. This was an almost daily occurence. I will never give Detroit a second chance, and I hope that all of those hoodlums are dead. I hope that city dies, rots, and decays.
It is so shocking to learn of this savagery but why have we never heard of this in the media? How many white people have gone through such horrors without their stories ever being told? It is like we are not human in the eyes of the media, the liberal Democrats and any of the other collaborators.
Use to live in Illinois glad I left to live in a state where guns are common in homes, cars, pickups and oh yea on our belts.
How is this different from any other manufacturing? Coca-Cola produces soft drinks in anticipation that consumers will purchase the product. Automobile manufacturers produce large numbers of cars and trucks in anticipation that consumers will purchase their vehicles. Likewise, the housing industry builds houses they have reason to believe will be purchased.
If any industry produces more than the market will bear, the price of their inventory will drop. In some cases, the manufacturer will be unable to sell even at a loss, and will have to eat their inventory.
However, if we allow government to regulate supply, we end up with wild oscillations of the market. This is currently happening in the housing market, the energy market and in the food market (because of ethanol legislation). The ego maniacal fascists (in the true sense of the word) think they know better than the market forces, and they invariably destroy the market.
That is precisely why I chose the Mil-Spec Colt Defense AR, so that it would stand up to multiple such encounters, if necessary.

That’s the one that Tony Stein acquired and modified into his “stinger” on Iwo Jima. Nice Video.
I know there is a modern version of the MG42 Germany uses called the MP3 in 7.62 Nato. It has the plus of quick barrel changes for such a high cyclic rate weapon.
I would venture to guess that some ANM2’s are attainable here for those with class III buying rights. I’m not sure about MG3s.
Maverick 88 ( A virtual copy of the Mossberg 500) can be had for $200.00 before “fees”
It’s made by Mossberg and many of the parts are interchangeable.
Many communities have some limits on development. I don’t think that is necessarily a problem, if it is done on the local level. Don’t you think that municipalities should limit the number of building licenses they allow per year? As far as over-producing in the soft drink and automobile industries, I think that they try not to over produce because they would be stuck with the loss. Big developers on the other hand seem to build very quickly and then move on to their next project. They get there money up front and then they move on.
