Gun-waving St. Louis couple lives in 'a private place' that enshrines white supremacy

[rgbecker]

18. Really, Gated communities and doorman and guard protected buildings are not that rare in America.

Private subdivisions with rules covered every possible activity. Entire little towns with regulations that make sure no poor people will accidentally wonder in. If you have the money, you can afford the protection. If you have the money, you probably feel the need for protection. It's all about income inequality. It's all about Capitalism. It's Racism and so much more. St. Louis is not unlike many mid-western Industrial cities. Laws on the books making sure the rich can live like rich people, unaffected by the poor working class. These cities are now just skeletons of their former selves as the rich abandoned them and headed for the suburbs. St. Louis is actually lucky to have a few neighborhoods surviving and housing some people that have the means to pay the taxes and upkeep bills which dwarf the average person's housing costs.
