"What's happening in California would never happen in Arkansas because we value order over ~~chaos~~ justice."

That's quite literally admitting to being fascists.

Higher than literally every European country.

2022 homicides per 100,000 residents:

  • Arkansas: 11.8
  • California: 5.9
  • Latvia: 4.05 (the highest in Europe)
