Bad night for a stroll" IN LITTLE ROCK.

eLwood, don't be a jackass. It was a bad day for Christmas shopping in Omaha, too. What's your point exactly? I know we have a crime problem here in Little Rock, but I'd still rather live here than in Chickenshit Holler.

Too bad this didn't happen in Hillcrest or at the River Market. If it had, perhaps the Usual Suspects would be grousing.
