Another school shooting
Another school shooting
Arkansas is getting pretty crazy lately. There was a shooting at the University of Central Arkansas last night around 9:30pm central. Two people were killed on campus and one other was injured. I graduated from there last May after 4 years of undergrad, and I used to walk through that alley where those guys were gunned down. I know that area very well. Last year, there was a shooting on the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's campus, where I currently work. I walk through the parking lot where that happened on a daily basis. Surely some of you have heard about Anne Pressley, that TV anchorwoman who was beaten in her own home and died later of the injuries. Lot of negativity going on here lately.
It's getting pretty bad here in Central Arkansas. The crime rate here is now higher than it is in Compton...

I havent heard about this yet. This school shooting is getting crazy.
At the end of my senior year (last year) there was a kid arrested for having a revolver, and 8 bags of weed on him. And the week after that, there were 3 guns found on the campus.
Arkansas crime is getting really crazy, and I dont know about your police officers where you're at, but the WMPD is just WORTHLESS!!!!! You may have heard of the West Memphis 3. The police department is a joke. Have you heard about the Nick Wilson case? He was a close friend, that was murdered September 14, 2005. It was a big deal, being that the WMPD failed to do their job.
