Dumas, Arkansas is a poor agricultural town located in the Arkansas Delta, primarily Black population. Not much has changed their in 150 years.

So long as I don’t have to plod through Dumas’ heavy 19th Century prose in translation, with all this lovy dovy crap thrown in, too.

It was a rapping car concert show. ;^)

Sounds like you are from the NE. I remember an extended consulting gig in Boston, where one of my colleagues said “You know you've had a good time in Boston when you wake up naked on a pool table in Peabuddy”. I had to look up that spelling.

We drove through there yesterday before the “Hood-Nick” ( Ebonics for neighborhood picnic). We did not want to stop and just kept on going to the next gas station on the way to Spring Break.

I’m from AR… it is pronounced dew-muss

You’ve hit rock bottom when you live in a town called Dumas, Arkansas.

I laughed so hard I almost spit my Crunchy Raisin Bran out.

You win the internet today.

[crusty old prospector]

We have a Dumas, Texas as well. And a poster from there.

Update: 24 shot, suspect in custody, glock switch (makes full auto)and 33 rd mags suspected

FBI=KGB
I would say the shooter is or motivated by the FBI.

[Sertorius]

It is Doo mas, but as a rival high school football team-”Dumbass”

Prayers for the victims!

"It’s hard to imagine a whole group of people involved in something so hateful, but here we are."

Oh come on.. It's ok, it's just their culture... /s

I’m a ding dong daddy from Dumas. At least my last wife was.
That’s what they say in Dumas TX

In Decatur, TX, it’s I’m an Eighter from Decatur

[Flavious_Maximus]

It’s just another Big Foot convention. Nothing to see here, move along.

The 1973 movie is pretty entertaining.

Guy probably knows absolutely nothing about this place. Unless you live in the area, you know nothing. There are cities and towns in my state of Alabama that I know absolutely nothing about. Don’t know if their leadership is republican or dimocommie, whether they have law or disorder, whether they have good schools, or poor. Simply I know very little about Mobile down at the bottom of the state. It is nearly 200 miles from me. I have never been there. So, unless we live there or near, we really don’t know. This could have been gang related. I doubt some folks there to see all the cars were there to shoot the place up.

First time my son said that name to me I could not understand where he was talking about. He pronounced it: Dez Mo Neeeeeezzze. Pronouncing each of those three. Dez, Mo, Neeeezzzee. Sounding out Neese, dragging it out. I just could not understand where he was speaking of. Finally he showed it to me and I laughed out loud and told him what it was. He said, that is not what it says!!!

There was a feed mill there that produced mostly fish feed for the many farms raising catfish. It was an employer of many. There’s likely fish processing plant that hires the economically challenged. Yes, both the Texas and Arkansas towns are called dew-muss by the locals. Been to both.
