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 all 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.

It's a good thing that we're in hObama's "era of racial harmony", or things could be a lot worse.

Apparently, one of the "white guys" is Paul Wilkerson himself, who has a history of making up these exaggerated accounts of racial annimosity in his neighborhood.

Peoria City Councilwoman Barbara Van Auken said Sunday she is outraged by Wilkinson's allegations.

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.

Wilkinson said he met with Councilwoman Beth Akeson following his email and spoke to Councilman Chuck Weaver over the weekend. Weaver told the Journal Star he planned to meet with the mayor about the incident.

Van Auken said there are few, if any, racial tensions in the neighborhood where the incident occurred.

According to your leader war, the PJS is a blog and therefore irrelevant and untrustworthy. Right, Dick?

Boofer made sure everyone knew all of that years ago. It's why Goldi banned him. It's also why he continues on with the "me" obsession to this day. He wrote a cute little biography, in the true patois of the Drama Queen that he is, of me over on the "mod" thread at GBR last year. I'll send it to you if you haven't already seen it. To give you a spoiler, it's MY fault that his biz almost went tits up.

Or to put it in plain and simple terms...if you, or anyone else "scared" me, Earache, I wouldn't be here.

I know your name, your home address, and your work address, your college degree, etc. And it's because YOU posted it.

I know you can't see this because you are hiding behind the bozo filter like the Ironman Triathlete you are, but you did post pictures and personal info. So man up you fat pig, and deal with it instead of whining to the site owner like you always do.

He said it himself, crazy lady. Btw, don't feel obligated to respond to all Dickie's mail for him.

Putting someone in the filter means banishing them from sight, not hiding from them. See, it's like this, he can't see you, but you can see him - he is not hidden.

Twist, spin, interpret, rewrite, whatever. Your spiritual and political leader is hiding like a little coward because that is what he is.

I like and respect war but don't think of him as my spiritual leader. It seems to be an obsession on the right to divide the world into leaders and followers; as a child of the right, it must be pretty frustrating for you that war ain't payin' you no mind.
