If only they could wrest control of the city from the dastardly Republicans..... hold on a sec....

The rude individual who was just reading over my shoulder as I wrote that, informs me that St. Louis is run by Dems.

So, nevermind.

What's your point?

The same study lists Amherst, N.Y. as America's safest city for the 3rd consecutive year...& has also been under the democrats control. (Recently a GOP was elected.)

So again, what's your point?
