Blytheville is a once decent town in NEA that lost an Air Force Base which led to white flight. Town has been bleeding population ever since and the town has become overrun with gang and drug activity. I would put it on a more violent than Memphis scale right now.

BLYTHEVILLE, AR (KAIT) -
A Blytheville shooting killed 1 woman and injured 11 others Saturday, according to the Blytheville Police Department.

Police said a domestic dispute at 833 Anderson St. around 11 p.m. resulted in the death of 19-year-old Adline King of Blytheville.

King was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Police believe an ongoing feud between King and another individual led to the shooting.

EMS units transported 4 other victims with gunshot wounds to Regional One in Memphis, including 34-year-old Delushun Greene, 20-year-old Alicia Williams, 39-year-old Lloyd Williams and 31-year-old Darrin Woodard.

According to police, 6 other shooting victims with minor injuries went to Great River Medical Center by private transportation, including 31-year-old Christopher Gunn, 25-year-old Anisha Haley, 25-year-old Candace Jackson, 39-year-old Katresa Parker and two male juveniles.

According to a press release, a fight broke out and a 200-person crowd confronted officers at the hospital Saturday night. Officers described the scene as "chaotic and emotional."

Additional officers from the Blytheville Police Department, Mississippi County Sheriff's Department and Arkansas State Police were called in for backup.

Police said the final victim, 19-year-old Miracle King, was treated at St. Bernards and released.

All victims were from the city of Blytheville.

Police said the suspects are still at large.

Officers are investigating the incident as a homicide and ask anyone with information to come forward.

What did the police do in this instance to invoke the wrath of the crowd?

Understatement
So was the last play of the LSU/Tennessee game when T-Bob saved the day.

My grandkids are never going to even drive through these armpits of America.

Damn when I was a kid, whenever we road tripped from indy to Louisiana, we'd stop for the night in Blytheville. Had no clue it turned out so ghetto.

This story is obviously a fabrication, I've been told by black people that only white people can be mass shooters.
