Local newspaper finally gives the deets on Deadly December

Buried at the end of a STORY ABOUT ANOTHER SHOOTING IN THE STREETS OF PEORIA, the pjstar mentioned the "gunplay" that continues in the city streets...

The bloody holiday continued a roughly three-week spike in violence that has left three people dead and several injured from gunshot wounds.

The 21 homicides recorded with one week of the year remaining represent the highest such figure in more than 20 years - since a record 23 homicides were recorded in 1989. Source

And another killing last night makes it 22.

That new museum will solve all the problems.

Four homicides this month and we still have four days left.

I can't stand to post the shooting tally graphic. If I post it today, I may have to post it again this week. Holding...

Panem et circenses ... Peoria needs to focus more on the bread, and less on the circuses.
