Barb, That probably deserves a separate post, although if you check out the comments on this post, you'll probably get the gist of it.

1. Though I’ve never been to Peoria, even I was able to figure out the reference to the abortion clinic.

2. I’m curious, Seth – why are you opposed to drug “prohibition”?

Billy is correct on all counts. Actually, my original point in starting to map out these murders was to show that most of them occur north of War Memorial, not south of it, as you might think.

I figure that I’ll keep doing this for a while. (”A while”=”while I consider it to be useful/interesting enough to be worth my time.”) So, we’ll see if any patterns emerge.

Folks, Seth is talking about the family planning clinic on North University, which he considers the site of multiple murders. Your opinion of abortion may differ. I am of mixed opinion on the matter.

Vonster seems to take delight in assuming that all crime and murder is caused by black people. For what purpose I cannot say. The most sensational murder of the year in Peoria, however, was white on white. And a couple years ago, we had a white serial killer whose victims were exclusively white. Vonster can conclude anything he wants from that. I’ll point out that the greatest mass murders of the 20th Century were white European males.

And if that makes me a liberal apologist in Vonster’s eyes, so be it.

And here I thought that everyone was talking about….

Well, something else.

Well, at least you’re a brazen and unabashed racist, Vonster … despite being an anonymous coward.

*looks innocent* Where? Also, while I'm thinking about it, here's my burglary map.

Don’t tell Doctor Knight but there’s an 800lb gorilla in that map.
