There’s a race going on to become the most fascist state as quickly as possible. Arkansas doesn’t get enough credit for its efforts. It should be watched.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Bentonville police arrested a rapper, saying his lyrics contained threats.

Reese Alexander Sullivan, 20, was arrested on a charge of terroristic threatening.

Law enforcement listened to music Sullivan had posted online. They found lyrics about killing the president, bombing the senate, killing his grandmother, racist lyrics about killing people and bombing churches, killing and raping children, shooting up a school and bombing a specific public event, according to a probable cause statement filed by a prosecutor.

On Halloween, the FBI searched Sullivan’s apartment. They didn’t find any weapons or explosives.

Sullivan told police he was rapping as a humorous fictional character when he made the videos. He said he doesn’t actually want to rape or kill anyone and doesn’t own any weapons.

Sullivan said he starting writing those types of songs when he was 17 and that he doesn’t actually mean the things he says when he’s acting as a fictional character.

40/29 News attempted to find the recordings, but the court document appears to have blacked out Sullivan’s rapper name and the name of the website where the music was uploaded. It was heavily redacted, with multiple paragraphs entirely blacked out.

Sullivan declined the use of a public defender and no defense attorney was listed as of Tuesday afternoon.

Police arrested Sullivan two days later. He was issued a $50,000 bond and ordered not to engage with social media, write anything on the internet, or upload any audio or video.

A court date of Dec. 11, 2023, was set.

Because when guns were a little harder to come by, and to kill people with, a bunch of rich white guys managed to start a new country. Quickly, they added the Bill of Rights to our constitution with the 2nd amendment that says i have the basic right to own a gun.

But its actual meaning has been debated ever for decades.

Yep, guns are a scary jump in easy ways to kill people.

An email surfaced this month by Jay Orsi, a freelance investigative journalist, from an earlier Campbell request, shows a fiscal manager at the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services describe how Sanders’ executive assistant was instructed to add the “To Be Reimbursed” to the original invoice – but told not to date it. The email does not indicate who told the assistant to change the invoice but not date that change.

Forgot that part.

It’s going to look pretty sketchy if she did try to cover this up and then go on to change FOIA laws in Arkansas.

I don’t understand how anyone could’ve learned about citizens united and thought it wouldn’t end this way.
