[Peace-discuss] local military weaponry

[Dianna Visek]

That would take a bit of work because of all the suburbs and other units of government.

 Thank you for this Dianna
I’m betting that “mine resistant vehicle” here in Champaign County is a tank? We know they have a tank. 
Our area isn’t exactly a threat, our demo today, we’ll be lucky to have as many as 13 people protesting the most important issue of our time, the potential for nuclear war which we are closer to everyday. The millions of lives we have already destroyed, are little noticed. We do receive a lot of thank you’s, thumbs up and horn honks for what we do, so we know the people don’t support war, and militarism………….
Cities like Chicago are another story entirely. I would be very interested in knowing how many military weapons their police depts. have received from the Feds.

If you look at the interactive map I sent out yesterday and use the 61801 zip code, you find that the following towns have received gifts from the Feds:
Catlin:  2 rifles
Champaign:  a lot of riflesChampaign County:  a lot of rifles and a mine resistant vehicle
Danville:  night vision image intensifiers and a lot of rifles
Farmer City:  rifles and pistols
Fisher:  1 rifle
Monticello:  rifles, pistols and a shotgunParkland:  2 riflesPaxton:  4 rifles and a night vision goggle
Tolono:  rifles and a utility truck
Urbana:  a lot of rifles
I suppose it could be worse.
