A Look at Peoria's History

Peoria has a drawn-out and rich history. In evidence, it was the first European settlement in the state of Illinois, and one of the earliest in the Midwest. The French and British occupied the area for several centuries until the first American settlers start farming there around 1819. The area grew quickly and experienced a great economic and population boom because of its abundance of fertile land and spontaneous resources, and access to the Illinois River. Since its founding, the area has grown steadily. Today, it remains a pretty river city full of diversity, friendly people, plenty of opportunities, and much to see and do.

    Sigh.

    I even go to the trouble of qualifying my comments but no, I have to clarify them twice because I guess I'm just too nuanced. I said UP TO A POINT. I guess I should've exhaustively listed what constitutes a de facto public ordinary. A Mall, restaurant (happy now?), a sports stadium, a concert venue, a movie theater, should I go on? And yet, people are thrown out of all of these establishments every day for some reason or other.

    FWIW, an owner can indeed throw anyone out of their business as prolonged as they don't perform something stupid like utter it's because you're lgbtq+ or black or whatever. It's just like how police aren't allowed to search you without probable cause; a legal probable cause isn't that difficult to fabricate for the motivated officer. Same goes for business owners.

    Perhaps "it doesn't work prefer that" on paper, but reality is a unlike story. You weren't thrown out because you're queer , or black, or whatever. You were thrown out because you "seemed intoxicated" or were "disrupting other patrons" or something.
