But it wasn't reported on ANY of the national news networks.
That is the point.
Of course it was reported in Peoria, there was no way they could not report it there.
We're not hearing about this because it isn't PC to report on stories of blacks attacking whites.
No it's not being picked up by the national media because where's the story? A group of teens yelled verbal insults at a driver, then "disturbed the dust" on the vehicle without even causing any damage? Extra extra read all about it! Weakest flash mob story ever.
Neither will most of the internet tough guys on here who are pounding their chests. LOL. Go ahead, complain about Blacks attacking Whites and how you are the savior for the White race and you can't wait for them to try to attack you. Real tough guy.

How often do major news outlet report stories about towns in the boonies like Peoria? Pretty soon the righties will claim it's racism against small towns.
I guarantee if it was a group of 50 white teens shouted race related remarks at black people, pointing guns on them, and breaking their car windows it would be on every national news network for the next 3 months. Then there would be a thread on city data popping up every 5 minutes of people whining about how racist white people are.
(And I'm pretty sure Savoir Faire would be one of the first ones)
There is no better place to disappear in Illinois than the triangular area of western Illinois between Quincy, Moline, and Peoria. Although, southeastern Illinois is pretty remote as well.
I don't think anything that happens in Peoria rates national coverage unless it is a spectacle and caught on video.

Next time click on the article and read the story before commenting. This was the 2nd attack, the first one involved a woman whose car window was smashed.
I'm hoping we hear soon that the driver runs some of them over.

I read the article. A smashed window...whoopdeedoo. It's going to take just a little bit more than that for a couple minor incidents in Peoria to turn into a NATIONAL news story. Last I checked, the entire country hasn't had any slow news days recently.
