Maybe they can clean up the North side of the city and then roll in to IL and clean up East St. Louis. But my guess is that Obummer will have them roaming the streets of Clayton, Ladue, Frontonac and Town & Country where the really bad citizens of the St. Louis area live. If he would just clean out these people, their homes and bank accounts there would be no problems in the US.

St.Louis is a far worse place then Chicago where they are killing each other every day.

It’s far worse in STL because the shootings tend to be congregated in a relatively small part of North St. Louis. In Chicago, the shooting is far more wide-spread. Most of St. Louis is totally fine.

Sorry, but no way is St. Louis worse than Chicago. No way. The reason it looks that way in the lying statistics is that “St. Louis” is the inner city, with a population of about 300,000. The entire metropolitan St. Louis area is close to 3 million. The population of the independent city of St. Louis is about half black and half white. When you hear things like St. Louis is the most dangerous city in the USA, that’s because, unlike most cities, it doesn’t absorb its more peaceful and safer suburbs, which helps other cities to dilute their stats. It would be like using the Boston “combat zone” to represent the entire city of Boston. Most of the crime is in the northern half of the city of St. Louis. There are some cities/suburbs within the St. Louis metro area that have far worse crime rates.

Most readers won’t know that the wealthy cities of Clayton and Ladue are NOT “St. Louis” (They have crime, but mostly of the non-violent type). They’re in another county altogether, confusingly called “St. Louis County.”

The city of St. Louis is NOT within St. Louis County. In any case, what I saw on the news is that these tanks or military vehicles are going to be driven on the highways around north St. Louis. There’s been zero in the newspaper about it. I read on a blog that the National Guard post in St. Louis is only now getting these vehicles and the guys from MD are coming in to train the guys in MO how to drive them.
