Armed Task Force To Patrol Streets fucking with citizens just for being outdoors. Said task force would be in riot gear and carrying AR-15's at all times, stopping everyone they see to perform ID checks and compel the citizen to give a valid reason for being out and about.

Holy fuck!
This is breath-taking,that this Nazi bullshit is going down...coming to a town near you...,funded by your tax dollars!

I lived in Fayetteville Ar for a while, a true dudeist haven amidst the Bible belt.

I have always wondered why it's pronounced 'ar-can-saw'.

Anybody know?

Similar question: where did the southern drawl come from? I think the 2 are related...

The difference between "KAN-sas" and "AR-kan-saw" is about 18 Natty Lights.

Probly got something to do with Cajuns.

As an Acadian (not Cajun, but Cajuns were originally Acadian, and we all derive from Nova Scotia, so we're all cousins), I can say it's more than likely not a Cajun thing. It's a French-Canadian thing, but probably not specifically from us Acadians.

Arkansas is the French version of the Sioux word acansa, "downstream place." As for why my fellow Frenchies put an S on the end, I don't know. We're frogs; we don't have to make sense!

Kansas, however, is also a Sioux word, and there were Kansa (Kaw) tribe there. Basically, "wind people." Why is the S pronounced here? Again, probably just insanity. Maybe they used an incorrect plural? "There's them Kansas again. Let's name the river after 'em." (First the river, then the state name, by the way.)

Fascinating Masked Dude.I love etymilogical detective work.
