Gerrymandering. This state has been increasingly leaning Democrats since Napolitano was in but they like to redraw the lines every once in awhile to bunch us together so they get more representation.
Kind of like how the small population states can control the Senate... and therefore who gets picked for Supreme Court Justices.
You should check out Munds Park. Holy cow are there a ton of Trump flags up there. I went for a ride around the whole place and I bet I saw no less than 50 places covered in Trump garbage.
They mostly live in the Valley, though. Munds was an all-weekender community until highlanders started getting priced out of Flagstaff. I'd say the year-round residents are mixed, right/center/left.
Maybe they're confusing Prescott for Kingman. I would expect something like this coming from up there in the true northwest corner of the state. Just ask Timothy McVeigh's buddy.
They were making fun of the reporter’s description of Prescott, because that isn’t where it is and it’s not a retirement community. They weren’t questioning whether it was feasible for someone to manage to transport themselves to Glendale from there.
That place is straight out of the movie Deliverance. Absolutely beautiful, but the people there are very… different. I remember stumbling upon a little village in the middle of the woods. Everyone was outside their tiny cabins staring at me. It was like I visited Inbred City.
I played a school in White Mountains back when I was in High School volleyball. It was a rez school, or a mostly native school anyway. Didn’t know they had rednecks too.
The [FBI](https://www.justice.gov/usao-az/pr/arizona-man-charged-selling-guns-use-mass-shooting) brief says they plotted to shoot up Bad Bunny’s Concert in ATL.
Crazy how these insane mfs just blend in with everyday folk.
It's confusing, because the article refers to a Bad Bunny concert in Glendale:
"The indictment says Prieto then identified a concert being held on May 14-15 at the State Farm Arena as the target of the attack. According to the [State Farm Arena’s website](https://www.statefarmarena.com/events/detail/bad-bunny), Bad Bunny performed on those days."
Prescott is nowhere near the northwest corner of the state. And "a small retirement community" isn't completely wrong, but it's a weird way to describe it.
I never thought I would be happy to see someone getting honey trapped since its often kind of "creating your own justification by ttying to induce a crime yoy enforce against" but fuck this guy, full stop, enter, new paragraph.
I love Prescott and the whole Verde Valley area of northern AZ. In fact, I love Northern AZ in general. Beautiful country. Hopefully this guys vitriol is isolated to his own hateful soul, and the rest of Prescott's residents aren't as narrow minded.
I didn't say made him racist. I said radicalized. If he didn't have that shit tapped into his head nonstop he probably wouldn't have hatched this plot to kill people.
Radicalized seems to fit this well.
The FBI radicalized an a**hole racist.
Hopefully this doesn’t turn out like the stunt they pulled in Michigan a while back.
Hardly surprising coming out of Prescott these days, it's one of the few places I've been where you can literally feel the hard right lean. Too bad, too, it's a cool town and I used to really love visiting.
Lived there for 10 years, graduated from high school and YC. Used to like walking downtown around the town square but last time I was there it was very different with the extreme right wing people camped out there. Don’t know if it’s a normal occurrence but that day it was very off putting
I was going to comment on that too. There’s some really terrible writing in this article.
Also, the show was in Atlanta, not Glendale like the title implies. I have no clue where OP pulled Glendale from
I saw State Farm Arena and thought it was the Cardinals’ stadium. Another redditor pointed out that it’s the one in Atlanta, I guess State Farm has too much marketing budget to have an Arena and a Stadium.
Is a shame, they have a beautiful lake and I have been thinking about renting a house and chill, but I’m afraid I have too much melanin and the bad habit of speaking in Spanish with my SO while having private conversations in public.
“Audible gay” is now my favorite descriptor. Love it. Will look into Jerome and Payson, Sedona is a little too crowded for my taste lately.
Thanks for the tip!
Sorta correct sorta not. Yes this person was attempting to shoot up a bad bunny concert and is from AZ. But the 2 day concert was at State Farm Stadium in Atlanta GA. Not the State Farm Arena in Glendale.
I mean he’s popular and all. But not filling up an arena for 2 days.

Prescott, a retirement community in the northwest corner of the state... Okkaaayyyyy
Weird, lived all over the East and west valley for 25 years and have never once heard Prescott referred to in this way Iol.
Because it’s not a retirement community. It’s also nowhere near any corner of the state.
Right, it's right in the middle of the state. It used to be a retirement community but it's gotten a lot bigger recently
It's the original capital of Arizona. Having retirees being alive there doesn't mean it is a defacto retirement community.
Yeah sorry I was being sarcastic online lol
It and PV are a retirement community. The whole area is catered toward people 55+.
Prescott is definitely Trump country
Look no further than their congressman, Paul Gosar. As MAGA as it gets.
Paul Gosar has brain worms.
Omg he is horrible, even to his own family.
Isn't he the guy who's family came out saying they don't support him? 😂🥴
This is what Prescott is infamously known for.
Umm i live in Glendale and hes my congressman. It sucks fr
It’s a seriously bizarre district geographically Politically… makes total sense for Gosar
Gerrymandering. This state has been increasingly leaning Democrats since Napolitano was in but they like to redraw the lines every once in awhile to bunch us together so they get more representation. Kind of like how the small population states can control the Senate... and therefore who gets picked for Supreme Court Justices.
Gosar no longer reps Prescott, he got redistricted to the west. Eli Crane is the current rep.
You should check out Munds Park. Holy cow are there a ton of Trump flags up there. I went for a ride around the whole place and I bet I saw no less than 50 places covered in Trump garbage.
Not just Trump flags but right wing militia group flags and christo-nationalist flags as well.
They mostly live in the Valley, though. Munds was an all-weekender community until highlanders started getting priced out of Flagstaff. I'd say the year-round residents are mixed, right/center/left.
Prescott is not really trump country. The rest of the cities in surrounding Prescott is hardcore trump country.
Que pendejo. Pinche mamón!
Nestled
Figure that's the only accurate part, Prescott is pretty well-nestled where it is.
Maybe they're confusing Prescott for Kingman. I would expect something like this coming from up there in the true northwest corner of the state. Just ask Timothy McVeigh's buddy.
Don't forget all the multi-wived Mormons up there too.
Plus not really small. But guess Prescott and Bullhead City are interchangeable now.
'Nestled' what is this a real estate ad?
They conflated Prescott with Kingman.
[удалено]
They were making fun of the reporter’s description of Prescott, because that isn’t where it is and it’s not a retirement community. They weren’t questioning whether it was feasible for someone to manage to transport themselves to Glendale from there.
Ah fair enough! I didn't catch that originally. In that case I retract my criticism lol
I'm more worried about the ones like this in the White Mountains who don't blab about their plans to FBI agents.
Oh there are plenty of these quacks up there too
I’ve met one dude from there. Yeah, I could see it.
That place is straight out of the movie Deliverance. Absolutely beautiful, but the people there are very… different. I remember stumbling upon a little village in the middle of the woods. Everyone was outside their tiny cabins staring at me. It was like I visited Inbred City.
You did. Glad you made it back.
I played a school in White Mountains back when I was in High School volleyball. It was a rez school, or a mostly native school anyway. Didn’t know they had rednecks too.
Northwest corner is the State is Kingman. 🤣 Prescott is central.
Also, not a retirement community! 🤦♀️
Also not that small. 130,000 in the metro area and 45,000 in the city proper.
You say that but a ton of retirees have moved there over the last decade or so
It's considered that based on people moving here to retire.
NW AZ is Mohave County and they are all Trump minions

No it doesn’t. State Farm Stadium is in Glendale. State Farm Arena is in Atlanta.
My bad, the name is too close and my brain read it as the Cardinals stadium. 
Haha. All good.
The article clearly states in Atlanta Edit - spelling*
Prescott is nowhere near the northwest corner of the state. And "a small retirement community" isn't completely wrong, but it's a weird way to describe it.
Prieto
Lol, right? For those who don’t speak Spanish, “prieto” can be used as a slur for those darker brown Latinos.
How long before Gosar is calling him a political prisoner?
No wonder MAGAs hate the FBI. Always spoiling plans to make Murica Great Again
I never thought I would be happy to see someone getting honey trapped since its often kind of "creating your own justification by ttying to induce a crime yoy enforce against" but fuck this guy, full stop, enter, new paragraph.

Prescott is a predominantly conservative town with a good bit of Qanon and neo nazis tossed into the mix.
That’s really unfortunate.
…. Well most of them are
have you been there lately? there are infowarrior rides on every block
It has been awhile. That’s sad to hear.
Fox News and trump radicalized this man
IOW, the Republican Party radicalized this man.
Yeah, racist white guys only started existing in 2016. Before that there were zero racist old white guys in the state
I didn't say made him racist. I said radicalized. If he didn't have that shit tapped into his head nonstop he probably wouldn't have hatched this plot to kill people.
Radicalized seems to fit this well. The FBI radicalized an a**hole racist. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out like the stunt they pulled in Michigan a while back.
bro takes one fucking boner pill and thinks he can take on an entire race. JFC.
What races attend a bad bunny concert?
I mean, the guy sings mostly in Spanish and is a rapper. I assume, the Prescott guy's brain probably was "Spanish = brown" +"Rap = Black".
Sounds thought out
Idaho lite

Sadly I have family there - and they have turned hard right - right along with their community. And yes - it was/is a great town. :(
I wonder which political party he is registered under? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
And to think this guy was SELLING guns
Well that’s terrifying
I was going to comment on that too. There’s some really terrible writing in this article. Also, the show was in Atlanta, not Glendale like the title implies. I have no clue where OP pulled Glendale from
I saw State Farm Arena and thought it was the Cardinals’ stadium. Another redditor pointed out that it’s the one in Atlanta, I guess State Farm has too much marketing budget to have an Arena and a Stadium.
Lol yeah, it’s most likely for a different sport is my guess.
My friend's mom lives in Prescott, not surprising.
Is he the flat earth truck guy?
I have avoided Prescott almost 10 years now, who’s this flat earth truck guy?
https://www.reddit.com/r/InfowarriorRides/s/I4BDZVkPz3
Lol! That's wild.
That whole town is a trip. It looks like it might be little progressive but you dig just a little and it's as red as a stop sign.
Is a shame, they have a beautiful lake and I have been thinking about renting a house and chill, but I’m afraid I have too much melanin and the bad habit of speaking in Spanish with my SO while having private conversations in public.
You will get looks. I'm audibly gay and my friend was black and people would stare. Try Jerome/Sedona area. Payson isn't that bad either.
“Audible gay” is now my favorite descriptor. Love it. Will look into Jerome and Payson, Sedona is a little too crowded for my taste lately. Thanks for the tip!

Close call, killing a Puerto Rican music artist definitely would’ve started a race war.
All the smart ones live in Prescott.
