Delta Bullets Fly: Mass Shooting In Dumas, Arkansas!

In Arkansas, 28 people were shot at a charity car show.

Of course, this was one of the latest incidents in the United States where a terrorist gets a hold of a firearm and automatically starts shooting at everyone without any care of those who are in the line of fire.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Hutchinson, the four U.S. Representatives from Arkansas, Sen. Karen Cotton (R-AK) and Sen. Karen Boozman (R-AK) were informed of the latest mass shooting to happen in the state.

In the city of Dumas, there was a car show and a family event.

A man was killed an at least 27 people were inured in a "gunfight" at this car show on Saturday night.

The victims were described as bystanders in a shootout between two suspects, Col. William J. Bryant of the Arkansas State Police said at a presser.

"The bottom line on this is just two individuals got into a gunfight," he said. "Unfortunately, we had multi [cq] victims of the shooting incident."

One person was arrested, but authorities were unclear on any possible connection to this violence.

"It's an unrelated arrest," Bryant said. "... We're still looking for two people."

At least five six children -- the youngest is 19 months old -- were among those wounded," he said. They were taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock.

At least five were released after suffering either non-life threatening injuries.

Violence in the small town of Dumas.

The victim, Cameron Schaffer, 23 of Jacksonville, Arkansas. The victim was not the shooter.

This year promoters did not describe the two-day happening as a spring break celebration, though the listed attractions included club music, a parade, gospel performances, live bands, and a display of cars and bicycles. According to organizers' schedule, the car show portion of the weekend should have been over by the time shooting broke out.

Virtual fliers have advertised the wider event as the “NeighborHOOD PicNIC" and "Hoodnic Weekend."

This was the 16th year for the larger event in Dumas, McGehee said. The other years, he said, were problem-free.

“Send ya’ll prayers, send y’all condolences,” McGehee said.

Chris Jones, a Democrat running for Arkansas governor, tweeted that he had been at the event earlier Saturday, registering voters and enjoying “a positive family atmosphere.”

When do conservatives favor gun control?
When Blacks are killing.
When Muslims are killing.
When immigrants are killing.
When the suspect's alleged political leanings are progressive.
When the suspect isn't a white person.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. 

No place is safe.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
