The Little Rock Drama

Today, I was at my computer when I heard someone shout, "Put your left hand out of the car window." I looked out the RV window and I watched as the man on his knees below got out of the car and the MP had him back up to the police car. A second MP came out of the police car. Then another police vehicle came up and two more MPs came. In the meantime the first MP had the man on his knees and handcuffed. Then a second man was told to get out of the car and they handcuffed him.

Of course, all the MPs had M-16s, and then I heard the MP say, "drop the gun". There was a woman getting out of the car with a hand gun. WHOA! My heart beat a little faster -- This could get dangerous. I wondered if a bullet would go through our RV walls.
While this "drop the gun" thing was going on the second man (the one lying down in the bottom picture), still handcuffed, got up and started to run. None of them saw him. He was now in front of, then past the our RV. Still no one saw him. Soooooooo, I HONKED the RV HORN. Two of the MPs headed out after the runaway.

A little while later they came back with the runaway. Then they took the two men over nearby....must be questioning them I thought. That second man got up again and tried to get away. I was sure they were in big trouble since he kept trying to run away.

Lance was gone to pay for our RV spot. I called him. "I am sitting here watching two men getting arrested right in front of me." He was almost home. Thank goodness.
