There has been violence breaking out here in bridgeview which is 7 miles southwest of chicago. There is a big arabic population in bridgeview. Since tuesday there has been fighting between pro-american and arab americans. Local police and FBI have tighten security around the neighborhood. There is a moslem mosque behind a menards store where people been gathering with american flags (They even close menards because of the violence) I understand america's anger right now but please don't take out on innocent people. Now don't give me wrong if I see people supporting the terroist act I'll personally whip their a**s but I heard of young arab kids getting beat up which is pure ignorant. What do you think?

The governor has the National Guard at his disposal. Tell him to use it.

<< between pro-american and arab americans >>



"Pro-american"? WTF?

Those people aren't responsible for the WTC any more than I or any other pasty white guy is responsible for OKC.

What d!ckheads.

yup i live RIGHT by there, in Oak Lawn. I was actually there when the demonstration was peaceful and about patriotism for america. I thought it was a good gathering for the community AT FIRST, but then violence has to erupt and people blame Arab american people living around here about something that they had NOTHING TO DO WITH! One of my best friends is Arabic and some of the sh!t he has had to go through these past few days sickens me. Just two nights ago around 11PM he was watching a tv when someone threw a firecracker right at his window. The ignorance of some people mystifies me. I know there is still a bad taste in people's mouths around here and that something similar will happen again tonight.
