My only real memory of ArKansas was driving along a stretch of I-40 from Memphis to Little Rock. Worst stretch of federal highway I ever used---BUMP-BUMP-BUMP-BUMP---didn't dare try to drink a cup of coffee on it.

[The Big Pickle]

I'd only seen pictures of two black guys. Anyway - good riddence. I don't care what color they are. If they got to where they're at, they should have been put to sleep long ago.

By Sara Underwood.....that would be best. :)

[Rooster]

Oh.
I thought this was going to be a thread about where Bill Clinton volunteers to personally pat down coeds at TSA checkpoints or outdoor concert venues. Or something tawdry like that. But executions? Let's speed up the process, shall we?

[Bucmonkey]

You sad waste of taxpayer $.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Oh, come on...he's not that sad.

I took a wrong turn in Memphis and ended up crossing over into Arkansas. The minute I crossed the bridge the road went completely to shit. I had to go a few miles and turned off at some interchange with gravel lanes, and got back on to go back to Memphis. Worse interstate road I have ever been on.

When I was going to school in the Navy in Millington, just north Memphis, I took a ride across that bridge, just because I had never been in Arkansas before. It was pretty much as you described. I haven't been back to Arkansas since (over 30 years) and if I'm lucky, I won't again.

[Innocent Bystander]

Fuck it: what happened in Arkansas? What is the painting in reference to? why the racist comments?

[Goober McTuber]

why the racist comments?

Consider the source.

They had a death row clearance sale last week.

Rack Arkansas!!!!

[Goober McTuber]

Looks like your neck of the woods is slacking.

Data from the Death Penalty Information Center show that, in the past forty years, there have been eleven hundred and eighty-four executions in the South, compared with four in the Northeast, yet homicide figures in 2015 were nearly seventy per cent higher in Southern states than in Northeastern ones. The death penalty is about retribution for past offenses, not prevention of future ones.

I've never been to Arkansas.

I am going to Memphis is a few weeks. I'm sure it will be culture shock.

Southwest Arkansas is mountains.
Nice place to hide out

[War Wagon]

Southwest Arkansas is mountains.

Didn't you mean NW, as in U & L Arkansas?

Regardless, prepare to be scoffed at by Dins, the next time he's half-sober.

[Smackie Chan]

Stayed a night in Arkansas once. Just remember getting a flat tire.

So much here to be skeptical of-- such as the correlation between executions and the death penalty or the dubious figure of homicides being 70% higher in the South when compared to the Northeastern states. Right off the top, New Hampshire has, what, 14 total people living there compared to Atlanta with its' millions? What does this study count as being a homocide?

Then there is the statement at the end: "The death penalty is about retribution for past offenses, not the prevention of future ones." Really?. That's your take away from this? Of course it's retribution. That's the whole point.

They're plenty of high population areas in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Perhaps you've heard of New York City but I don't know if New York is considered part of the Northeast for this.

Or perhaps Rooster is just an idiot.
