Think of all the people who fled out to "Lake" St. Louis to get away from urban low-lifes only to find that they can move too.

David Wells -- first, that's a HE? Second, nice marks all over his throat. Third, how does one steal a gun from one's own home? I guess the caption writer meant he stole it from his parents' home.

at first take, i thought stephen d would be an ignorant troll based singularly upon the volume of posts, but then i realized that he is entertainingly riffing the news. the inability of some to sense humor is a social ill that they should address before souring the rest.
