The article came up for me. Kingman is uh....different. There have always been a large component of rednecks there. To say that it is a racist town would be inaccurate though. The article stated Timothy McVeigh lived there. As I recall it was one of his conspirators that lived there. I think McVeigh just stayed there a while. The ironic thing is for a bunch of people who are anti-government types, they have no problem accepting welfare, food stamps, etc.

Yeah Kingman is um.......”different”

I tell people.......

Kingman Arizona,  inflatable banjo player sold separately

Except downtown where they have REAL banjo players

Yes I did know that mcveigh lived here

For the record I wanted to move to Arizona my parents picked Kingman

“Anti government types” or smaller government types

When they need/want more we tell them to go to California
