Some dumb country singer apparently put out a new piece of shit glorifying and encouraging violence against people protesting for a better life for all.

I don’t know the name, don’t care to either. Just another conservative bigot

Normalized violence by singing how he was going to hurt protestors…

in a town with a history of lynchings.

Jason Aldean, the song’s called "try that in a small town. Basically threatening to shoot the “wrong people” if they go to small country towns.

I don’t know the song, are the “wrong people” shooting kids or holding hands with a person of the same gender?

I have a hunch it’s the latter, but I want to have some hope.

No mention of LGBT people in the lyrics, but the music video has footage probably meant to evoke the BLM protests and he recorded scenes for the video in front of a courthouse with a history of race riots and lynching ( Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, TN. Mostly the lyrics of the song seem to be talking about “city crime” and conservative no-nos like flag burning and disrespecting police. There’s also a “don’t come for our guns” line.

He probably means the people who riot, destroy cars, homes and businesses of average people.

Shooting them is wrong and this guy probably is a dickhead, yes, but a lot of normal, average citizens will agree to this.

Edit: To clarify, I mean that‘s how the right get‘s people on their side. Rioting will just result in more people agreeing with people like this guy, even if the message is absurd.
