The blue state is in a real mess. Not only is it home to the murder capital of the US, they are totally broke. Who would want to live in that shithole. They are probably going to lose the Lotto. They can't even make those payments.

Actually Chicago ranks 8th in the U.S. for murders per capita. St. Louis has more than double the murders per capita than Chicago. But I agree that the state is a mess.

You know East St. Louis is in Illinois, right? And it has one of the highest per capita murder and crime rates in the country?

I think I read somewhere that 5 people move out of the state every day or something like that. I tour there occasionally and the roads are a mess- construction still going that was there 2 years ago yet they started even more construction. Every 10 miles it's down to one lane at 55 on the interstate. Never actually seen any construction workers however. It really is a mess.

It was the focus of an investigation years ago as to the underlying factors in comparative murder rates in that case: St. Louis vs. D.C. with D.C. at the time having the higher firearm "murder rate" and St. Louis having a higher assault by firearm rate. It turned out that St. Louis "EMS" had faster response times than did D.C., and consequently fewer deaths by firearms. In those days there were still a lot of vets with field experience in treating gunshot wounds. The number of experienced vets is increasing recently due to the various multiple deployments in past 15+ years.

Speaking of "comin' to Texas, Jocelyn.....ever considered a tour to our fair state (even for a weekend)? All YES reviews...plus some pretty damned sexxxxy photos...tells me you'd be very welcum'd here.....

That's your problem. You're hanging out at Ranger games. Means your brain is baked and you're aligned with LOSERS!

Hahahahahahahahaha!
