Louisiana Supreme Court voted to allow residents to secede from crime-ridden, Democrat-run Baton Rouge and create their own city.
The Baton Rouge residents have fought for a decade to split from the city to form their own suburb following a state Supreme Court ruling.
After reversing a lower court's decision on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 4-3 favor incorporating St. George, which will form in southeast Baton Rouge.
Much is made of the fact that the people splitting from the majority black city are wealthy white people.
