I’m from a small town of 4,000 people in Northeast Texas and …in the late 90s…
Had to finish high school out of church because a kid literally burned down the school. He got expelled and on his way out the door he said I’m going to burn this m*********** to the ground and he did.
Person I went to school with got strung out on meth and decided to murder three gas station attendants.
So yeah the entire thing is stupid. As if protest and crime are new concepts due to a new world order brought about by liberalism.
These are serious issues no doubt but when I see all the memes about this song in particular all I can think about, " The sky is falling Chicken Little" or “if these kids could read they’d be angry” or “it’s funny until it happens to me”
Can confirm, my small town of 2300 has like six sex offenders living here. Family got arrested a few years ago for having an incestuous relationship, old man was shot by a cop outside his home in a standoff a couple years back because he pointed a rifle at the cop. I know of a guy on the other side of town (like maybe 5-7 town blocks) who shot his wife in the face in front of their two kids, served time, and later re-married and had another kid. According to some hearsay, the new wife and kid apparently think his old wife faked her death and framed him for her murder. A kid in my local school took his own life after extensive bullying. The school wouldn’t do anything about the bullying but made sure to have a huge anti-suicide campaign after the kid died. The parents of that kid didn’t get any of their other kids counciling after his death, and one of his brothers would later attempt suicide, only to end up blowing off one of his shoulders. (He survived and his shoulder was even fully reconstructed) Local hospital had an RN work there for years only for them to find out she had zero certifications AFTER she quit. Same hospital also had a nurse baptize a stillbirth because she believed the baby would go to hell. I’m told that nurse was fired, but not for that incident. Had a cop that was fired after he was caught having sex with a sex worker on the hood of his police car.
Those are the things I can recall off the top of my head, though most of them are stories from my mother. I’m almost certain they all happened within the last 30 years though.
The entire discussion around " small town" is bs
