Or How-stun, (Houston) New York versus Hew-stun, Texas.
Here in Oregon we also have the Ill-in-noise River, not the Ill-in-noy River.
Or tha Arkan-zuss River in Kansas, not the Ark-un-saw River.
Pronunciation varies all over the country.

You’ve hit rock bottom when you live in a town called Dumas, Arkansas The U is pronounced long U Du mas. If I remember right there is a Frepper named Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas also.

My late wife grew up the next town over from Dumas in McGehee. Dumas is a very small town of about 4000.

Actually that played quite a bit.
The name was DUMASS, so it was easier to read it as “dumb-ass” than the 1-S version.

“Do I need an Arkansas or an Ebonics translator to make sense of that word scramble? Maybe it’s rap?”
No, its just the state of the United States in 2022. I doubt this nation will make it another 20 years. Everywhere the ethnics and professional victims are is down, down, down. But its spreading all over.

From what has come out so far this is sounding more like a domestic with lousy shots. While I have never been to Dumas myself I was married to a wonderful woman also from Desha County in nearby McGehee a few miles from Dumas. I watched the video of the man who represented the festival. I see nothing wrong with such a festival I would encourage it minus the shooting which My guess is the other 4000+ in that town all could have done without. Desha County was poor in the 1950's and still is today. That issue isn't one of race there but just isolation. These towns were railroad towns. The nearest big city IIRC is Greeneville, MS.
My wife was partially raised in McGehee in her childhood and partly raised in East Tennessee where we would meet. Despite having to struggle from a sole income of a Boarding House her grandmother owned and operated dependent upon railroad workers renting rooms she loved living there. Some friends white and some black. In about 1965 she left the area for good after her freshman year at MecGehee and came back to East Tennessee.
I do have a cousin who was an instructor for Arkansas Emergency Management he said growth in the Desha area has been slow. I also remember my wife telling me her freshman year she took Arkansas history. The teacher had them recite the state motto and they all laughed. "The state of opportunity". This gathering seemed to be to promote opportunities for the area. I can remember my Mom when I was a kid she was the PTA president. They held school fairs to raise money for school projects. What's the difference?
These people seem peaceful to me. It is a small town of 4000. The organizer to the fundraiser seemed genuinely shaken and I would also bet his family has lived in Desha County since the 1850's.It's the mans home and the communities home. My guess is the shooter will be going to the next neighboring town Stuttgart where a state prison is.

Lou-A-Ville.
Not that I approve.
You should experience Pennsylvanians.
My hubby chafes whenever people talk of Amish country and “LAN-CAS-ter”.
You’d think no big deal?
It’s “LAN-kisster”.
