If that happened in a blue state, he’d be jailed and hounded, for the rest of his life. Way to go, AR!

Pretty sure the Governor is a lame duck, he’s allowed to let his RINO/Liberal colors to come shining through now. Doesn’t have to lie to the people of Arkansas anymore. That’s why he’s vetoing this and a lot of other Bill Conservatives would like passed.

Typical lying Republican POS, one of many that are too plentiful in today’s political spectrum.

Some say they are grateful for the one neighbor who stepped in and put an end to the shooting.

Was anyone quoted as saying they were not grateful that the threat was neutralized early?

Medicated, insecure, Incel millenial.

Don't buy the PTSD BS since he was in the military. His FB is full of his classmats/co workers saying he was always creepy and was "that kid" that would shoot up a school.

My home town. It’s a shame what is turning into. Used to be this stuff only happened on the north side (the “diverse” side) where I grew up. But it’s creeping down to the “better” part of town.

People are fleeing the city to move to surrounding small towns.

But, yes, everyone there has a hunting rifle except the transplants that moved in from elsewhere.

They brought up he had ptsd and was a vet.
Ptsd does not make a person shoot random people.

From fb

“ This is my nephew Zachary Brian Arnold, he grew up a regular kid, bright, promising future and chose a military career. He fought in Iraq/Afghanistan and struggled with PTSD, he sought help through the VA but as many of you know they are only willing to help so much. The VA and military failed him. He had a manic episode resulting in the tragedy and loss of life of two loved people. He did not set out with malicious intentions to murder this poor woman. It was an awful tragedy and I know Mrs. Hicks family is suffering great loss. I would ask that you also remember this young mans family as well. We are suffering a great loss too. His mother is devastated by the loss of her only child. We could not foresee this or we could have prevented it. Please don’t bash our loved one, mental illness is real. #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness”
