I definitely didn’t expect this video to perform so well I appreciate everyone that has watched and left a comment also please subscribe more reactions being cooked up as we speeeaaakkkk Jefe Jefe
Even if you forget about politics, this is just terrible music. Country music has good completely for shit. There is no country in this modern whatever it is. Aldean didn't write it, doesn't play lead guitar he just stands there with his skinny jeans, his "cowboy " hat and earrings. He's never lived in a small town and went to a private school. Makes a whole lot of money singing garbage that somehow is popular among people that enjoy mediocrity.
I live in a small town in Louisiana. The population is made up of Black, White, Hispanic and Vietnamese. We are all about family and protecting ours. We all get along because we respect one another. The kind of place that your Sheriff Department staff is also your neighbors. And if someone decides to act like a delinquent….the whole town will know and someone is calling your Mama! 😂❤️🇺🇸
Small town living is 2 days ago a tree fell on my house. My neighbors are Mexican and black. We handed out beer and they brought spotlights and chainsaws. We all worked together for hours and having a bbq this afternoon. That’s small town love regardless of race or hate in the big towns
Born and raised in a town of less than 500. We still have our problems. But violent crimes are basically unheard of. It's hard to act a fool when everyone is on first name bases with each other's dogs. People talk and Sketchy people quickly get blackballed. Same with overzealous cops.
You don't hear any the violent crimes because small towns are good at keeping them as quiet as possible. When they do happen they are usually extremely violent, like putting a mother and children in a closet and setting them on fire. Crime happens everywhere, but mostly small town crimes are DUIs or stealing out of people's cars. Killings probably happen once or twice a year or once or twice every couple of years. The more outsiders move in the more crime will happen.
@lifeislife489 Individual families might be able to temporarily keep the skeletons in the closet (not to pun your example), but I can assure that small towns are not good at keeping secrets. The gossip-fu is strong.
@@t.dig.2040 I live in a small town and lived here all my life. I didn't say anything about keeping secrets. I said they try to keep it quiet by not putting the crime stories in the paper ect, unless they need help from the public.
Talk about incest; emotional, domestic, physical abuse, poverty, lack of medical care, poor education, no special needs care. Just to start. But…. But….. try that in a small town😮. Embarrassing. U r.
I'll tell you about life in a small town. People respect each other and care for each other, regardless of color or anything else. It's their community. Life in a small town is boring. But bring trouble to a small town-- come to harm or victimize, life quickly becomes less boring. You'll find people standing together on core common values of protecting each other, what they have, and standing for the weak. You want to be part of the community, welcome. You want to hurt others? There's a hog farm right up the road, and hogs eat more or less all of anything. ;) There's nothing hateful in this song, it's just an anthem on FAFO.
Yep, we raised hogs and chickens when I was a kid. Early part of bow season, before it was time to slaughter the hogs, we'd toss the leftovers of a deer carcass in the pen with about 10-15 grown hogs. Less than a week later, the bones and even the skull would be gone without a trace.
Hey man !, thanks for sharing your comments. I'm a 62 year old white guy in Kentucky and I'm making it a point to listen less to politicians and media and looking more to individual reactions. We need to stand together as Gods creation and not let politicians divide us. We have much more in common than not. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your opinion.
We need to take the dividing politicans out of office! Quit voting party instead of humanity! Quit supporting the criminals or we will be like California is now!
My husband and i were born and raised in California him in Northern California me in Southern California also raised our three girls in California. We moved to a small town in Idaho about 4 years ago and never looked back. Our two oldest moved a few years before us and our youngest 23 years old came out with us and she loves it also. Unfortunately we went back for a passing in the family and we could not get home fast enough. We had several family members if we would move back and that was a big HELL NO. People are so much nicer like we moved to a different planet. People wave with there whole hand not just one finger. One of the best things we ever did.
Small Towns are simple places where people just try to live a simple life. We mind our own business, don't tolerate any bullshit, and we always have each other's backs. Most people all grew up around each other as well. We all get along in a Small Town (race is not a factor at all). A lot of people still keep their doors unlocked (at least until meth or opiates becomes a big problem in the area). Most crime in small towns usually revolve around underlying drug activities, and that's about it. I'd rather live in a small town over a city any day. The way of life is more wholesome.
My father unfortunately got hooked on drugs at 13 and lived a life of crime. He left the city to try armed robbery in a small town thinking he would get away and the local cops would never even know where to look for him. Those folks were not having any of it, and he ended up with a 30 year sentence. And btw he is as white as it gets. The critics of the video are desperate to make it a racial issue but it's not. It's about resisting violent crime as community, be it a small town or an urban neighborhood.
Yet the video focuses on protest against cops for there violent crimes against the public clipping only the worst part and not showing what led to that
@@ivanvalera3250 Accusing people of supporting police brutality just because a music video montage lacks context is a strawman argument. That is not the focus of the song or video.
@@Danne1886 but that's what they are clearly talking about showing it in the video you peon...saying dont do your protests in a small town fool of good ol boys a phrase used by David duke and other white supremacists groups to refer to them selfs such as. Saying dont punch a cop not saying I condone any violence but when in a times of technology been able to observe the police and its shown what has always said about them violent rasict tyrants murders without any since of justice in the courts broken pay system
@@ivanvalera3250 Lots of people say good ol boy with no racist intent whatsoever. Most cops try their best to do a hard job. Now you are the one completely ignoring all context to demonize country people and all the local law enforcement departments across the country. I figured you were being disingenuous, and now you proved it with flagrant hypocrisy and insults.
@@Danne1886 so we gonna forget under operation pegasus and amadeus the government had police all over the country protecting there sanctioned drug dealers while keeping it out of white neighborhoods and letting in run rampant in black and poor neighborhoods so they could arrest there targeted people to send into the private prison system flesh for cash the hundreds if not thousands of cases of planting drugs on innocent people of color .and the only people I seen use that phrase is David duke and every white supremacist group out there ..and again he specifically talking about what he is showing in the video why else would it be in the video ...smh
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song, the only critics are the idiots and enablers trying to divide us. Love and respect, brother, hang over gang Canada 🇨🇦
@@ivanvalera3250 You are absolutely delusional. You are what's wrong with America You're ok with rappers talking about selling drugs and shooting opps. But you have a problem with Jason Aldean telling you not to start shit in his town. Lol unbelievable. How do people like you make it through the day without winning a Darwin award?
Criminals will do what they can get away with. If the people get together and fight back against them, they will disappear. The big cities don't really enforce the laws like they should. Whether it is because they are short handed or apathetic, crime is much higher in cities. In small towns, criminals will stick out like a sore thumb and the locals will "take care of business"....if they have to.
Yeah because serial killers are never found in small towns ...should I roll out the list of the endless list of small town serial killers ..Ted bundy ,the guy they based the Texas chainsaw movies off...or the pig farmer lady who killed over 23 handymen and fed them to her pigs smh
There is not crime like that in a small town. Because everyone knows you and your family. You can't get away with sh!t if everybody gonna run and tell your Momma or Daddy 😅 And if we see people we don't know, we'll keep an eye out. Not just to see if they do bad things but also to see if they need help.
FACTS!!!! When I was in high school, I had a lime green beetle… people ALWAYS knew where I was and best believe they would call my mom n dad if my car was spotted somewhere it shouldn’t be!! 😂😂 Violent crimes are basically unheard of where I’m from, maybe like 5 in my 38 years. And I’ve never personally seen a “sundown town,” but I know back when my dad was in high school it was a thing in a few places. I think we’ve moved passed that now, thankfully. Love my small town life ❤
Serial killers are always found in small towns you goof smh like the lady who killed 23 handy men cops said it was more but she fed the remains to to her pigs .or ted bundy the list goes on
I used to lived in L.A. and i now live in West Virginia. The biggest underlying difference is the mindset. Small communities tend to band together when faced with hardships and tragedy. People lean on and help other people. In the cities were most folks only know the people living on their particular block. So the mindset falls into a why isn’t the government fixing these things. When you believe the government is the solution to problems you are always going to end up disappointed, frustrated, and angry inevitably. So, long and short one group has a mindset of “what can i do to help make it even a little better” vs “why aren’t our politicians fixing this.”
I grew up in a small town with about 600 people in it. If someone came there and acted a fool, the entire town, black, white, and every other race would ride you out of town on a rail. Everyone knew everyone and if someone was sick or had a death in the family, the entire town brought a dish to your house. We all went to the same school, my entire class had 22 kids and about 50/50 black/ white. We didn't know we were supposed to be some kind of enemy, we just wanted to play and favye fun.
I am from a small town in Arkansas. I traveled all over the world with the Marine Corps and after, big cities, other countries. ...came back home when it was time to raise a family for this very reason. Also, sundown towns are a thing of the past. They existed at one point, but I'm unaware of any that currently do. When I was growing up it was mostly white people in my area. We had one black boy in my class. ...but now my neighbors are black, hispanic and east asian and we love and care for each other the same as we ever did.
I lived 42 years in Southern California and now live in Omaha Arkansas…I love it…..but I fly home to eat real tacos in East LA or Orange County. That’s the one thing you can absolutely not find here!!🤣🤣💪
Small town living is the best it gets! You need for something….. we gotcha!!! **THE OLD TIMER AT THE END SAID IT PERFECTLY** The #1 thing to know……. YOU ONLY GET THE RESPECT YOU GIVE!!! Which in my personal opinion is all anyone deserve!!!
I'm from Newark NJ and moved to a small Amish town. It's like moving to a new and improved universe. We look out for each other, respect each other and live peaceful lives. Try it!!!
My friend’s husband got in a head on collision. His neighbors came and took care of the farm chores until he healed. It’s just what farmers do. I drive a semi across the country and the amount of land used for farming in this country is mind boggling. You’ll find farmers everywhere and they live in a culture of hard work and being good neighbors.
I grew up in a small town. This is exactly how it is. We are all neighbors. We help each other out. Have our neighbors back. We don't invite violence and crazy nonsense. We enjoy the quiet and corn fields. But we are all packing.
I live in a small town in the south and it’s so diversely whites, blacks, Mexicans and people from India. There’s a vet and his dog that hangs out in front of the gas station/ store everybody buys him a coffee/drink the store started selling dog treats. I promise no one wouldn’t help someone in need. If someone has enough to bring to the food bank they do. Churches help a lot! I never want it to change!
I grew up in the 1960 and 70's in California and it was like small towns we cared for our neighborhood. We helped and protected and skin color was nothing. California is not the same anymore most my family have left. Living in small town is what I remember from my childhood in California. Never heard of sundown towns in my 60 years till today and I pray they are not in the USA because the LORD loves us all the same. In small towns we protect our own and why the protesters didn't burn down small towns or cities. The police had the whole towns help and they run away. They tried my town and it didn't take long from when they enter their buses in our town that we had them surouned they never got out of the bus, they just left because they were out numbered and the police stood by us. FYI the Fargo ND police just chased them away and they thought our smaller town would be easier to burn down and they were sowrong.
It changed because the government started selling crack cocain to the black and poor communities while keeping it out of rich white neighborhoods all while over policing these areas for the private prison system cash for flesh . they are willing letting and protecting sanctioned government drug dealers to make money for the there proxy war regardless of the damage they did to those communities and generation of people they destroyed pushing those drugs on those communities which is what made .. the comment just say no to drugs said by Regan's wife a bigger slap to the face to the black and poor communities knowing its was the government fault even on directions of the president to keep the drug out of white and rich communities ...and oliver north a government man who took the blame for the cocaine epidemic and trafficking was held a hero and now on fox news while the black man the real rick Ross who sold the drug for the CIA and made all the money for there proxy war was sentence to life in prison only got out because they tried charging him three times at once so he could get life but he read to be lawyer and got out ...showing the bullshit most small town and good ol boys dont know about and act proud of a government that does this to it's own people
Cosigning what she said- 6 and 7 gen N CA native born and raised with entire life here... In the 60s and 70s, even in many parts of the SF Bay Area kids could play outside and go explore by themselves, neighbors kept an eye out, doors were often unlocked unless going to be gone from home for hours, troublemakers were known and dealt with one way or another, real parenting was expected not punished, law enforcement was community vs armored up in teams and in rigs, politicians and teachers were expected to be examples of decent human beings and do their jobs equally. And color or foreign origins (or even from another part of the US!) meant nothing more than you might have an interesting history or family stories to share, were skilled in more than one language, or - and this was the game winner - homemade food we could taste and fall in love with. All of this was definitely anywhere outside the immediate Bay cities, and with the added help each other and band up in crisis or disaster automatically for anyone. Just like virtually anyone hitchhiking outside the big city zones was almost guaranteed a ride as leaving someone by the side of the road was an uncomfortable worry on you later. People wrote and sang about the Flower Power in SF and Summer of Love in Berkeley, but truth was that friendly openness towards and trust of strangers was stronger outside the busy metro areas. And still is, even if picking up strangers has become not safe to do. Not so much the cities as you well know. Sadly, even small cities here have that view now as the influx of metro types with their attitudes towards selfish and criminal behavior came with them.
I lived in California my entire life but moved to Dayton, Ohio about 3 years ago. California has fallen into a pit and when I grew up in the 60's and 70's all the way up until you got these crime-ridden leaders who would rather take their millions and could give a SHIT about the communities. I look at where I live now and see a California I used to know many years ago. That Antifa crap was attempted in a small town about 20 minutes from here when all of that began and about 700+ showed up completely armed and they scrammed out of town quick and never returned. That is what I think of a small town and living in one
One morning I was walking my pit...little before sunrise. I walked into a spiders web and screamed like the devil himself had grabbed me. Before I could blink there were 2 gentlemen and a lady running up with guns drawn. I'm almost 60 and a widow. It was so comforting to know that my neighbors were listening out for me. I also make it a point to be seen at least once a day or folks check on me. The nearest town is less than 4,000 and I live in the country. That's whats it like to live here.
I live in western NC town of 2400 people of every color, race. If we have a crime rate you don't hear about it. Its Respect, if you go stupid, guarantee you will get checked by somebody.
Be like the small town in Texas when blm and antifa, blacks and whites showed up to riot. Well the Sheriffs Deputies on horses with 700 armed to the teeth residents surrounded the rioters and herded them like cattle down the highway to the county line and “Advised” them that it would not be in their best interest to come back. That’s what small towns will do. In my small town 3 blm leaders came and told the Police Chief what he was gonna do or they would come riot. He told them in plain English what would happen to them if they showed up to riot. The “gentleman” left quicker than they came, never heard from them again.
I live in a small town in Indiana.. 30miles from Indianapolis, where there are murders and all this going on daily.. Population is around 10k.. There has not been a murder in over 10years, people leave their doors unlocked, and its so welcoming to everyone of any race or creed.. This song hits home and people who say its racist are fools.. My daddy and grandpa taught me to be a good man, and I will stand and fight for my small town and neighbors any day..
@@christinal3106 Martinsville, not in town but just north west of town off SR67 on a back road called Wilbur road.. Morgan county has the cheapest property taxes anywhere near the city. I can be in Indy in 25min, Bloomington in 20min and Greenwood in 20min.. I love it down here.. And there is no crime, and I can't even remember the last time there was a murder, been over 10yrs at least..
I believe that if criminals felt that rolling up on someone would cost them their life they would be less inclined to do it. I also believe that is the way things SHOULD be.
I was born and raised in hayward ca and Oakland. Moved to a small town under 600 people after someone broken into my daughter's room and i was charged with battery . And never had a problem in that town or my snowbird small town in airzona. Most crimes there are drinking , and domestic violence.
Small towns take care of each other. Doesn’t matter what color you are. You need help, we help. It’s our community and thats what we care about. You bring that crap to us and we will take of it.
Sundown towns were around 1960’s and before if you find one of those today I am surprised they are not being flashed and embarrassed all over the place. There are small towns all over this country whether they are Black, White or Mexican, everyone knows everyone and watches out for everyone. I live in South Texas just North of the border and as a White family around Majority Mexicans in our neighborhood we all watch out for each other
i can't speak for every small town, but in mine, yes there's small crimes, but everybody no matter skin color look out for each other, and try to help those in need. because there's a belief that we're in the same perverbial boat.
In small towns everyone knows everyone. You will always have help. No one is going to commit petty crimes without the people raising up to stop it and help. I feel sorry for people who do not know this communal love and respect.
I live in a small town in NC and it's quiet and quaint, nobody bothers anyone no matter the color, neighborhood bbq all colors and backgrounds, good shit
I never came across Jason's music before hearing about "Try that in a small town" song" and all the cringe and fuzz. I think it's Amazing. The song voices the sentiment of many people across this country and from all races and backgrounds. Not just in small towns ... Even here in Los Angeles we can remember decades ago when riots happened.... Korea Town and the rooftop boys. Also a couple of years ago in the riots... When the mob advanced to hit Van Nuys they stopped on their tracks and did a U turn.... Why? Well, the neighbors standing with their tools ( if you know what i mean) outside their business and buildings... White, black, hispanic, Arminian and Asian brothers and sisters standing shoulder to shoulder... also another interesting thing happened. The following days after the riots, many of the anti gun people that I know were standing in line to get in the local armories to try to buy their first one... Just saying.
I was born in California grew up in Las Vegas I've lived the last 20 odd years in Tennessee it was a serious culture shock because people are so genuine and friendly. They care for their neighbors they pull together in times of trouble and they don't put up with bs. I think you should try to visit just to see. You'd be welcome i promise😊
I grew up in a town of 10k in NW Ohio and what he says is right! Everybody knows everybody and know the owners of the stores. Nobody is going to let somebody bust up their own community. it's all about respect for everyone. It was a great place to grow up. I live in Columbus Ohio now, but sometimes miss the slower pace of a small town. Glad the song came across to you like it did me. Only the shit stirrers have a problem with it. Great reaction!
I live in a small town on the east coast and the crime rate is low, people respect their police officers and people help each other when someone is in need. So relaxing and unbelievably beautiful. I grow up in the city and would never go back. Life is slow and easy.
I live in a small town in Pennsylvania, we help each other when someone needs anything. You know mostly everyone, and if you step out of line if you mess with one person you mess with everyone in town and there is only one race and that's the human race, we don't look at skin color, we look at what's in your heart and how you treat others.
Small towns are a life town. Its wonderful. People stick together like glue, black and white, we are ONE, people in my town is my family don't matter what or who u are u my family and I support!!!! Georgetown SC
We live in a small town. We look after each other. Crime is basically drug related. I mean, how you gonna rob your high school sweethearts grandma when you mowed her lawn last week, and she had you over for dinner and made your favorite pie to take home to your family? You gonna car jack your 1st grade teacher knowing she came and took care of your momma when she got sick and you couldnt be there? Or maybe you wanna rob your best friend after he came and harvested your crops last year when you broke your leg and couldnt do it yourself? Rob the gas station? Thats the only place in a 20 mile radius that makes hot wings the way you like them...just for you. The girl working the counter is married to your cousin. Shes family. You really gonna shoot her for $50? THATS how it is in small towns. Everybody knows everybody. You do something stupid, and your momma is gonna know about it before you get home. Nobody wants to deal with Momma when she is mad! And if you're an outsider, its even worse. You better hope the police find you before the locals do because the locals wont tolerate that kind of behaviour. Theyll beat it out of you or worse. And...its not race related at all. Our small town is quite diverse. We watch everybodys back, no matter their skin color, because they are one of us.
I live in a small town its peaceful we dont judge one on the color of there skin everyone knows everyone for the most part have some cookouts have a good ole time when we can its the media mainstream media wants us to hate each other based on the color of your skin.
I live in a small town I don't lock my front door or my car and I know most if not all of the people in my town where there are Hispanics, Asians, and black people and we love everybody and we help everyone. I don't care about your skin color I care about your character. Yea, small towns have their problems but I promise you this if you share the same values and want the same things you will be welcomed.
Born in the country, raised in the city, and moved even further out than I started lol. Now living in a small rural community in Ohio made up of all different people. What I will say is we are very 2A (to the point our teachers in our school systems are allowed to conceal carry) and more than happy to protect out own... And that's his whole point. As far as crime, no much - some petty stuff but nothing major ever happens outside of car accidents. And we like it that way - and we absolutely intend on doing our part to keep it that way!
Small town in Pennsylvania here. Living here is knowing almost everyones first and last names, what vehicles they drive, who's pet is the one running down the street. Lol It is being early 30's calling an ambulance for chest pains and having everyone who shows up already know you..... AND this is a VOLUNTEER ambulance service!!!! As I was a member of my local volunteer department for years, we take the time out of out day or our nights sleep at the drop of tones to help those in need, race, religion, orientation, .... are never a factor!!! Being raised here, I will protect my family, home, neigbors by whatever means necessary. Need a ride at 3am because you're too drunk to drive, call me.... I'll make sure you get there. Come barging in my door at 3am trying to harm my family.... You're not walking back out.
I'm from a very small town, the other day I found a man at an air pump at a gas station with a broken valve stem, kinda screwed, I didn't know him from Adam, but I did take him around to find a way to fix him up and get him going, the tire shop gave him the part he needed for free, and I took him back to his vehicle, he wanted to give me gas money, and I told him to just to pass it on. He had just moved to our little community with his wife and kids, I found out while talking to him. That is how small towns work.
I'm from small town IA where we all have a sense of pride and community. No matter our little differences, we all band together when someone needs us. Our kids needed help with lunches during the summer months and our community comes together to provide them meals and deliver them. Everybody knows everybody and watches out for each other. That's small town living.
I live in a town of 2400 total people, in rural Michigan. We have practically no crime. Our police coverage ends at midnight. Everyone is armed, and most people are related to one another. It is peaceful here.
Young fella….Not every place in CA is a big ol city. Small town CA way up north is where one would find comfort knowing this song is fitting. Folks take care of their own. Does not matter r@ce, color, s€x, creed, r€ligion, etc…. Just as that Veteran Farmer said; it’s exactly how it’s done in those small towns. If the big cities could only do the same as the local small towns….perhaps this world might someday be a better place. As a retired LEO I approve of this entire message that this song promotes. As it’s about a community that sticks together in times of need. Something that this Country desperately needs. I appreciate your content, your support for this project, and I hope some day you’ll be able to travel to small town Ca. Where you can wear a good ol pair of black jeans, a nice pair of boots, your favorite hoodie or flannel shirt even, and a felt hat. Yes, it gets cold enough to dress like that in small town CA. Stay blessed 😇
Morgan Wallen yes indeed. I remember when Morgan was taped and he was drinking out with his buddies, the neighbor taped him saying good night to his buddies and he was almost canceled for saying good night my Nigga, yes he Said he apologized. He truly wasn't trying to use that terrible word being derogatory or ignorant. What people must understand out here in small places like in North Texas ,small towns in West Virginia we are of all races, colors, cultures and we stand up, help each other. This song is saying just what you think, try that in a small town, they'll meet their maker fast. We just want to live in Peace. We all love each other.
I hear ya kid, I drank bud light for 30 years. Not no more. People got no compassion anymore, in big cities people are expendable in small towns people depend on each other.
I live in a small town and volunteer for a group that helps people in need with small household projects; meals, lightbulb changes, rides, snow shoveling, etc. The most common call I get is from people concerned I am not calling them often enough to help others. My 12 year old boy went on his first deer hunt last fall. It's just a different life.
I lived in a town with 200,000 people when going to college. HATED IT! Moved back home with my family few years ago. Entire county has only 20,000 on a good day. Things are a lot less stressful. We only have 6 full time officers and our fire department is strictly volunteers.
I live in a small town in west virginia and have neighbors of all races. And I promise that when the ish hit the fan we would ALL stand together to protect our community. That's just how we roll round here
Small town boy checkin in! Like everyone else said small town livin is about respect. That’s pretty much all it comes down to. We respect each other, even if we don’t always like each other, or even know each other. We look out for each other. If something looks shady, we check it out. Crime is almost nothing besides some domestic disputes, few noise complaints, maybe some kids riding dirt bikes on private property or something but nothing major. This is NO lie, I haven’t locked my truck in years and I don’t even have a key to my house. If someone locked all my doors while I was gone I wouldn’t have a clue how to get into my house. Don’t even know where the keys are! Never had an issue. And if someone did try robbing the place while I was gone I KNOW my neighbor would come running, and I’d do the same for him.
Every town,no matter if it's big or small, has their own issues. What makes smaller towns different is during times of need, people put adide whatever beef they have and help each other.
Reading all of y'all's awesome comments only validates me having served to make sure that you're free to live as you please with no harm coming to you. Trust me from the core of my heart, my fellow brothers-in-arms and I wouldn't hesitate to risk losing our lives for all of you. YOU are the reason why I served like my grandfather and great grandfather before me. So yeah, growing up in a small town gives you much perspective about what it's like to be an American. Much love from deep south Texas.
I live in a small town in Louisiana. The population is a little over 1000. We have a caution light, no other traffic lights. We have a store, Dollar General, and a cafe. I love it here. Everyone has everyone’s back.
Grew up in the bay area. Moved to a small town about 6 years ago. I cant see my neighbors but we all know each other better than i knew my neighbors in the city. Sure petty disputes happen from time to time. But if something like a car jacking were to happen.... there will be a line of pickup trucks, with people of multiple races, chasing them down before the sheriff/local pd even has time to react.😂
Thank you! One of my favorite songs and it is the truth! I come from a small city surrounded by small towns...my mom: Town of like 100. Seriously. One of my favorite places to go!
I’m originally from S.Fla I moved to a small town outside of Nashville. Trust me when I say I’m so thankful I got my kids out of the city. Love small town life cost of living is crazy cheap!
Born and raised in a really small town. The culture is you are their for neighbors 100% You'll give the shirt off your back for a stranger. A hand shake still seals the deal. My mom and dad lost their home, then my mom had months in the hospital that started with a broken pelvis and ended with a heart attack and a leg amputation. The basically made sure they could buy a new home, put in a cement ramp, and held several fundraising events. All to help them out. And if any outsiders bring trouble, everyone has a gun and will protect anyone in need. We know how to grow, hunt, and survive anything thrown at us.
I lived in the city when I was young but moved to NC to a small town. I love it here. Theres very little crime and everyone is friendly. Plus if someone is sick or needs financial help people are willing to pitch in. I thought one day I would move back to the city but after seeing how the people are here that really changed my mind.
There hasn't been a "sundown town" anywhere in probably 50 years. Maybe 40 in only one or two areas of the south. Small southern towns are the best place to raise a family, reguardless of your race.
I grew up in a small town....very low crime. It was nice. I have family in southern California, so I've visited there some as well. I think you would like it in a small town.
I live in smaller town where people know most of the families. People are friendly and will help anyone who needs it. Laws are enforced! I have 2 pistols and a rifle myself. Most people own at least one gun. There is some petty crime, but when people are arrested, they actually go to jail!
I know both worlds and the best comparison is having someone come into your hood and disrespect you or your homies simply because they think they’ll get away with it. “We don’t play that” = “Try that in a small town.”
I lived in California until 15 years ago. I saw the downhill trajectory it was heading down back then so I left and moved to iowa. Yeah, Des Moines is not exactly a small town but it does have that vibe. Living here is so much more relaxed than even Tracy was. Frankly I'm glad i moved here and never looked back.
I was born and raised in a small town of 2100 in northeast Texas. I think in the 18 years before I joined the Army there was a few thefts but normally all items were returned because the thief's family normally beat the hell out of them until they return the property. In a town that small everyone knows everyone and your word and action means everything. You come together and help anyone who needs help. In my small town even your neighbors are basically like family.
I say this as an old man who grew up in a small town and now lives in a city. This is a country version of "fuck round and find out". If the shit hits the fan, my money is on country folks regardless of race. Let that sink in brother.
Born and raised in a little town in Texas, population 658. We take care of neighbors and have each others backs. We are color blind. Community of farmers and ranchers of all colors. Black, White, Brown. Doesnt matter, we are all like family. Virtually no crime to speak of. In fact, the local Sheriff gets bored alot and visits random people, just to chill and hang out. We have ALOT of Veterans, including myself. Just about everyone living here owns multiple firearms. Guns are very common place. .......nobody has been shot or died by firearm since I was in this world, and Im 47.
FAMILY CAME FROM A RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA , MOVED TO CALIFORNIA . I WAS RAISED IN CALIFORNIA, COMPTON WAS MY BACKYARD . MOVED TO A SMALL TOWN IN WASHINGTON STATE , AND NOW BACK IN CALIFORNIA . MANY DIFFERENT RACES , POLITICS, BELIEFS AND IDEAS ALL AROUND, WE ALL FIGURED IT OUT , GOT ALONG GREAT AND LEARNED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER, THAT'S WHERE IT ALL STARTS . RESPECT ! DON'T LET THE TELEVISION OR ANYTHING ELSE SEPARATE US OR DIVIDE US . WE ARE NOT AS DIFFERENT AS THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE. GETTING ALONG, GIVING A SHIT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND HAVING RESPECT ISN'T HARD .
From little old Thomasville PA. We protect our own around here. All for one one for all round here. None of this crime would fly where I am from. Great people of all backgrounds and colors.
I definitely didn’t expect this video to perform so well I appreciate everyone that has watched and left a comment also please subscribe more reactions being cooked up as we speeeaaakkkk Jefe Jefe
Even if you forget about politics, this is just terrible music. Country music has good completely for shit. There is no country in this modern whatever it is. Aldean didn't write it, doesn't play lead guitar he just stands there with his skinny jeans, his "cowboy " hat and earrings. He's never lived in a small town and went to a private school. Makes a whole lot of money singing garbage that somehow is popular among people that enjoy mediocrity.
I live in a small town in Louisiana. The population is made up of Black, White, Hispanic and Vietnamese. We are all about family and protecting ours. We all get along because we respect one another. The kind of place that your Sheriff Department staff is also your neighbors. And if someone decides to act like a delinquent….the whole town will know and someone is calling your Mama! 😂❤️🇺🇸
And stand and watch Momma beat your ass all the way home.
Where I live not only is your mom mad about what you did. She’s pissed 10-20 people (depending on the time of day) have let her know what happened! 😂😂
You live in New Orleans East?

@@TBerryhillOKYep, and sometimes you wish you'd get picked up by the cops before your mom or dad get to you. Mainly to give them time to calm down.
Small town living is 2 days ago a tree fell on my house. My neighbors are Mexican and black. We handed out beer and they brought spotlights and chainsaws. We all worked together for hours and having a bbq this afternoon. That’s small town love regardless of race or hate in the big towns
You must be in Indiana! Same here!
Your exactly right small town people don't see color we see are nabors and if anyone of them needs help we come together to help one another...
Love this!!❤
That's how it is here in iowa too
Similar down here in Alabama
Born and raised in a town of less than 500. We still have our problems. But violent crimes are basically unheard of. It's hard to act a fool when everyone is on first name bases with each other's dogs. People talk and Sketchy people quickly get blackballed. Same with overzealous cops.
You don't hear any the violent crimes because small towns are good at keeping them as quiet as possible. When they do happen they are usually extremely violent, like putting a mother and children in a closet and setting them on fire. Crime happens everywhere, but mostly small town crimes are DUIs or stealing out of people's cars. Killings probably happen once or twice a year or once or twice every couple of years. The more outsiders move in the more crime will happen.
Plus we all watch each others homes
@lifeislife489 Individual families might be able to temporarily keep the skeletons in the closet (not to pun your example), but I can assure that small towns are not good at keeping secrets. The gossip-fu is strong.
@@t.dig.2040 I live in a small town and lived here all my life. I didn't say anything about keeping secrets. I said they try to keep it quiet by not putting the crime stories in the paper ect, unless they need help from the public.
Talk about incest; emotional, domestic, physical abuse, poverty, lack of medical care, poor education, no special needs care. Just to start. But…. But….. try that in a small town😮. Embarrassing. U r.
I'll tell you about life in a small town. People respect each other and care for each other, regardless of color or anything else. It's their community. Life in a small town is boring. But bring trouble to a small town-- come to harm or victimize, life quickly becomes less boring. You'll find people standing together on core common values of protecting each other, what they have, and standing for the weak. You want to be part of the community, welcome. You want to hurt others? There's a hog farm right up the road, and hogs eat more or less all of anything. ;) There's nothing hateful in this song, it's just an anthem on FAFO.
Strip pits, hog farms, old dried up wells...

@@bloodbought1776🤫
Yep, we raised hogs and chickens when I was a kid. Early part of bow season, before it was time to slaughter the hogs, we'd toss the leftovers of a deer carcass in the pen with about 10-15 grown hogs. Less than a week later, the bones and even the skull would be gone without a trace.

@@timstarnes8587
Gotcha 😜👍🏻
I live on a Reservation. So, very small towns. Not much crime. Criminals disappear. Police are bypassed most of the time.
BLM were tied up to trees so mosquitoes could eat them all night. For some strange reason, BLM left us alone after that.
Sometimes you don't have time to wait.
Rez cops....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Disappear? Damn.
Hey man !, thanks for sharing your comments. I'm a 62 year old white guy in Kentucky and I'm making it a point to listen less to politicians and media and looking more to individual reactions. We need to stand together as Gods creation and not let politicians divide us. We have much more in common than not. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your opinion.
Well said sir
💯 agree
Amen, brother! Well said!
We need to take the dividing politicans out of office! Quit voting party instead of humanity! Quit supporting the criminals or we will be like California is now!
My husband and i were born and raised in California him in Northern California me in Southern California also raised our three girls in California. We moved to a small town in Idaho about 4 years ago and never looked back. Our two oldest moved a few years before us and our youngest 23 years old came out with us and she loves it also. Unfortunately we went back for a passing in the family and we could not get home fast enough. We had several family members if we would move back and that was a big HELL NO. People are so much nicer like we moved to a different planet. People wave with there whole hand not just one finger. One of the best things we ever did.
Small Towns are simple places where people just try to live a simple life. We mind our own business, don't tolerate any bullshit, and we always have each other's backs. Most people all grew up around each other as well. We all get along in a Small Town (race is not a factor at all).
A lot of people still keep their doors unlocked (at least until meth or opiates becomes a big problem in the area).
Most crime in small towns usually revolve around underlying drug activities, and that's about it.
I'd rather live in a small town over a city any day. The way of life is more wholesome.
My father unfortunately got hooked on drugs at 13 and lived a life of crime. He left the city to try armed robbery in a small town thinking he would get away and the local cops would never even know where to look for him. Those folks were not having any of it, and he ended up with a 30 year sentence. And btw he is as white as it gets. The critics of the video are desperate to make it a racial issue but it's not. It's about resisting violent crime as community, be it a small town or an urban neighborhood.
Yet the video focuses on protest against cops for there violent crimes against the public clipping only the worst part and not showing what led to that
@@ivanvalera3250 Accusing people of supporting police brutality just because a music video montage lacks context is a strawman argument. That is not the focus of the song or video.
@@Danne1886 but that's what they are clearly talking about showing it in the video you peon...saying dont do your protests in a small town fool of good ol boys a phrase used by David duke and other white supremacists groups to refer to them selfs such as. Saying dont punch a cop not saying I condone any violence but when in a times of technology been able to observe the police and its shown what has always said about them violent rasict tyrants murders without any since of justice in the courts broken pay system
@@ivanvalera3250 Lots of people say good ol boy with no racist intent whatsoever. Most cops try their best to do a hard job. Now you are the one completely ignoring all context to demonize country people and all the local law enforcement departments across the country. I figured you were being disingenuous, and now you proved it with flagrant hypocrisy and insults.
@@Danne1886 so we gonna forget under operation pegasus and amadeus the government had police all over the country protecting there sanctioned drug dealers while keeping it out of white neighborhoods and letting in run rampant in black and poor neighborhoods so they could arrest there targeted people to send into the private prison system flesh for cash the hundreds if not thousands of cases of planting drugs on innocent people of color .and the only people I seen use that phrase is David duke and every white supremacist group out there ..and again he specifically talking about what he is showing in the video why else would it be in the video ...smh

Criminals will do what they can get away with. If the people get together and fight back against them, they will disappear. The big cities don't really enforce the laws like they should. Whether it is because they are short handed or apathetic, crime is much higher in cities. In small towns, criminals will stick out like a sore thumb and the locals will "take care of business"....if they have to.
In a small town you can't rig elections. That's why the Dems don't even try to run.
Yeah because serial killers are never found in small towns ...should I roll out the list of the endless list of small town serial killers ..Ted bundy ,the guy they based the Texas chainsaw movies off...or the pig farmer lady who killed over 23 handymen and fed them to her pigs smh
There is not crime like that in a small town. Because everyone knows you and your family. You can't get away with sh!t if everybody gonna run and tell your Momma or Daddy 😅 And if we see people we don't know, we'll keep an eye out. Not just to see if they do bad things but also to see if they need help.
There aren't any "no snitch" rules either.
FACTS!!!! When I was in high school, I had a lime green beetle… people ALWAYS knew where I was and best believe they would call my mom n dad if my car was spotted somewhere it shouldn’t be!! 😂😂
Violent crimes are basically unheard of where I’m from, maybe like 5 in my 38 years. And I’ve never personally seen a “sundown town,” but I know back when my dad was in high school it was a thing in a few places. I think we’ve moved passed that now, thankfully. Love my small town life ❤
Serial killers are always found in small towns you goof smh like the lady who killed 23 handy men cops said it was more but she fed the remains to to her pigs .or ted bundy the list goes on
I used to lived in L.A. and i now live in West Virginia. The biggest underlying difference is the mindset. Small communities tend to band together when faced with hardships and tragedy. People lean on and help other people. In the cities were most folks only know the people living on their particular block. So the mindset falls into a why isn’t the government fixing these things. When you believe the government is the solution to problems you are always going to end up disappointed, frustrated, and angry inevitably. So, long and short one group has a mindset of “what can i do to help make it even a little better” vs “why aren’t our politicians fixing this.”
good decision to move to WVA
I grew up in a small town with about 600 people in it. If someone came there and acted a fool, the entire town, black, white, and every other race would ride you out of town on a rail. Everyone knew everyone and if someone was sick or had a death in the family, the entire town brought a dish to your house. We all went to the same school, my entire class had 22 kids and about 50/50 black/ white. We didn't know we were supposed to be some kind of enemy, we just wanted to play and favye fun.
I am from a small town in Arkansas. I traveled all over the world with the Marine Corps and after, big cities, other countries. ...came back home when it was time to raise a family for this very reason. Also, sundown towns are a thing of the past. They existed at one point, but I'm unaware of any that currently do. When I was growing up it was mostly white people in my area. We had one black boy in my class. ...but now my neighbors are black, hispanic and east asian and we love and care for each other the same as we ever did.
I lived 42 years in Southern California and now live in Omaha Arkansas…I love it…..but I fly home to eat real tacos in East LA or Orange County. That’s the one thing you can absolutely not find here!!🤣🤣💪
@@dylanhaddock1394 Nice and agreed lol. Southern Cali can't be beat for Tacos.
Small town living is the best it gets! You need for something….. we gotcha!!! **THE OLD TIMER AT THE END SAID IT PERFECTLY** The #1 thing to know……. YOU ONLY GET THE RESPECT YOU GIVE!!! Which in my personal opinion is all anyone deserve!!!
I'm from Newark NJ and moved to a small Amish town. It's like moving to a new and improved universe. We look out for each other, respect each other and live peaceful lives. Try it!!!
I live in the Midwest and a small town. This song is accurate. Farmers will help anyone and they grow all of the food that everyone eats... 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Minnesota here! Same. Farmers don't take no shit from anyone.
My friend’s husband got in a head on collision. His neighbors came and took care of the farm chores until he healed. It’s just what farmers do.
I drive a semi across the country and the amount of land used for farming in this country is mind boggling. You’ll find farmers everywhere and they live in a culture of hard work and being good neighbors.
I grew up in a small town. This is exactly how it is. We are all neighbors. We help each other out. Have our neighbors back. We don't invite violence and crazy nonsense. We enjoy the quiet and corn fields. But we are all packing.
And granny still has the best shooting record and the longest distance peeing off the front porch.
I live in a small town in the south and it’s so diversely whites, blacks, Mexicans and people from India. There’s a vet and his dog that hangs out in front of the gas station/ store everybody buys him a coffee/drink the store started selling dog treats. I promise no one wouldn’t help someone in need. If someone has enough to bring to the food bank they do. Churches help a lot! I never want it to change!
I'll put it this way! In every small town! There are always unmarked graves that belong to outside troublemakers.
I grew up in the 1960 and 70's in California and it was like small towns we cared for our neighborhood. We helped and protected and skin color was nothing. California is not the same anymore most my family have left. Living in small town is what I remember from my childhood in California. Never heard of sundown towns in my 60 years till today and I pray they are not in the USA because the LORD loves us all the same. In small towns we protect our own and why the protesters didn't burn down small towns or cities. The police had the whole towns help and they run away. They tried my town and it didn't take long from when they enter their buses in our town that we had them surouned they never got out of the bus, they just left because they were out numbered and the police stood by us. FYI the Fargo ND police just chased them away and they thought our smaller town would be easier to burn down and they were sowrong.
It changed because the government started selling crack cocain to the black and poor communities while keeping it out of rich white neighborhoods all while over policing these areas for the private prison system cash for flesh . they are willing letting and protecting sanctioned government drug dealers to make money for the there proxy war regardless of the damage they did to those communities and generation of people they destroyed pushing those drugs on those communities which is what made .. the comment just say no to drugs said by Regan's wife a bigger slap to the face to the black and poor communities knowing its was the government fault even on directions of the president to keep the drug out of white and rich communities ...and oliver north a government man who took the blame for the cocaine epidemic and trafficking was held a hero and now on fox news while the black man the real rick Ross who sold the drug for the CIA and made all the money for there proxy war was sentence to life in prison only got out because they tried charging him three times at once so he could get life but he read to be lawyer and got out ...showing the bullshit most small town and good ol boys dont know about and act proud of a government that does this to it's own people
Cosigning what she said- 6 and 7 gen N CA native born and raised with entire life here...
In the 60s and 70s, even in many parts of the SF Bay Area kids could play outside and go explore by themselves, neighbors kept an eye out, doors were often unlocked unless going to be gone from home for hours, troublemakers were known and dealt with one way or another, real parenting was expected not punished, law enforcement was community vs armored up in teams and in rigs, politicians and teachers were expected to be examples of decent human beings and do their jobs equally.
And color or foreign origins (or even from another part of the US!) meant nothing more than you might have an interesting history or family stories to share, were skilled in more than one language, or - and this was the game winner - homemade food we could taste and fall in love with.
All of this was definitely anywhere outside the immediate Bay cities, and with the added help each other and band up in crisis or disaster automatically for anyone.
Just like virtually anyone hitchhiking outside the big city zones was almost guaranteed a ride as leaving someone by the side of the road was an uncomfortable worry on you later.
People wrote and sang about the Flower Power in SF and Summer of Love in Berkeley, but truth was that friendly openness towards and trust of strangers was stronger outside the busy metro areas. And still is, even if picking up strangers has become not safe to do.
Not so much the cities as you well know. Sadly, even small cities here have that view now as the influx of metro types with their attitudes towards selfish and criminal behavior came with them.
I lived in California my entire life but moved to Dayton, Ohio about 3 years ago. California has fallen into a pit and when I grew up in the 60's and 70's all the way up until you got these crime-ridden leaders who would rather take their millions and could give a SHIT about the communities. I look at where I live now and see a California I used to know many years ago. That Antifa crap was attempted in a small town about 20 minutes from here when all of that began and about 700+ showed up completely armed and they scrammed out of town quick and never returned. That is what I think of a small town and living in one
I moved out of California in 2006. To small town USA! Indiana...best move ever!
Amen!
One morning I was walking my pit...little before sunrise. I walked into a spiders web and screamed like the devil himself had grabbed me. Before I could blink there were 2 gentlemen and a lady running up with guns drawn. I'm almost 60 and a widow. It was so comforting to know that my neighbors were listening out for me. I also make it a point to be seen at least once a day or folks check on me. The nearest town is less than 4,000 and I live in the country. That's whats it like to live here.
Oh, you made me laugh! That is so sweet that they came to make sure you were all right and ready to defend you, though!
The message is simply saying fuck around and find out in a small town
Listen handsome, move to a small town. I promise you… you’ll love it. Don’t worry about the money. God provides.
Ayyyee thank you so much A playerr might have to take a trip to a small town

Be like the small town in Texas when blm and antifa, blacks and whites showed up to riot. Well the Sheriffs Deputies on horses with 700 armed to the teeth residents surrounded the rioters and herded them like cattle down the highway to the county line and “Advised” them that it would not be in their best interest to come back. That’s what small towns will do. In my small town 3 blm leaders came and told the Police Chief what he was gonna do or they would come riot. He told them in plain English what would happen to them if they showed up to riot. The “gentleman” left quicker than they came, never heard from them again.
I live in a small town in Indiana.. 30miles from Indianapolis, where there are murders and all this going on daily.. Population is around 10k..

Most crimes there are drinking , and domestic violence.
Small towns take care of each other. Doesn’t matter what color you are. You need help, we help. It’s our community and thats what we care about. You bring that crap to us and we will take of it.
Sundown towns were around 1960’s and before if you find one of those today I am surprised they are not being flashed and embarrassed all over the place. There are small towns all over this country whether they are Black, White or Mexican, everyone knows everyone and watches out for everyone. I live in South Texas just North of the border and as a White family around Majority Mexicans in our neighborhood we all watch out for each other
What is south Chicago?
i can't speak for every small town, but in mine, yes there's small crimes, but everybody no matter skin color look out for each other, and try to help those in need. because there's a belief that we're in the same perverbial boat.
In small towns everyone knows everyone. You will always have help. No one is going to commit petty crimes without the people raising up to stop it and help. I feel sorry for people who do not know this communal love and respect.
I live in a small town in NC and it's quiet and quaint, nobody bothers anyone no matter the color, neighborhood bbq all colors and backgrounds, good shit
Man idk, we screwed either way! Doesn't matter who gets elected. All I know is. We are all Americans, and we all in this together! Stay strong guys!
I never came across Jason's music before hearing about "Try that in a small town" song" and all the cringe and fuzz. I think it's Amazing. The song voices the sentiment of many people across this country and from all races and backgrounds. Not just in small towns ... Even here in Los Angeles we can remember decades ago when riots happened.... Korea Town and the rooftop boys. Also a couple of years ago in the riots... When the mob advanced to hit Van Nuys they stopped on their tracks and did a U turn.... Why? Well, the neighbors standing with their tools ( if you know what i mean) outside their business and buildings... White, black, hispanic, Arminian and Asian brothers and sisters standing shoulder to shoulder...
also another interesting thing happened. The following days after the riots, many of the anti gun people that I know were standing in line to get in the local armories to try to buy their first one... Just saying.
I was born in California grew up in Las Vegas I've lived the last 20 odd years in Tennessee it was a serious culture shock because people are so genuine and friendly. They care for their neighbors they pull together in times of trouble and they don't put up with bs. I think you should try to visit just to see. You'd be welcome i promise😊
I grew up in a town of 10k in NW Ohio and what he says is right! Everybody knows everybody and know the owners of the stores.

You know mostly everyone, and if you step out of line if you mess with one person you mess with everyone in town and there is only one race and that's the human race, we don't look at skin color, we look at what's in your heart and how you treat others.
Small towns are a life town. Its wonderful. People stick together like glue, black and white, we are ONE, people in my town is my family don't matter what or who u are u my family and I support!!!! Georgetown SC

We live in a small town. We look after each other.
Crime is basically drug related. I mean, how you gonna rob your high school sweethearts grandma when you mowed her lawn last week, and she had you over for dinner and made your favorite pie to take home to your family? You gonna car jack your 1st grade teacher knowing she came and took care of your momma when she got sick and you couldnt be there? Or maybe you wanna rob your best friend after he came and harvested your crops last year when you broke your leg and couldnt do it yourself? Rob the gas station? Thats the only place in a 20 mile radius that makes hot wings the way you like them...just for you. The girl working the counter is married to your cousin. Shes family. You really gonna shoot her for $50?
THATS how it is in small towns. Everybody knows everybody. You do something stupid, and your momma is gonna know about it before you get home. Nobody wants to deal with Momma when she is mad! And if you're an outsider, its even worse. You better hope the police find you before the locals do because the locals wont tolerate that kind of behaviour. Theyll beat it out of you or worse.
And...its not race related at all. Our small town is quite diverse. We watch everybodys back, no matter their skin color, because they are one of us.
I live in a small town its peaceful we dont judge one on the color of there skin everyone knows everyone for the most part have some cookouts have a good ole time when we can its the media mainstream media wants us to hate each other based on the color of your skin.
I live in a small town I don't lock my front door or my car and I know most if not all of the people in my town where there are Hispanics, Asians, and black people and we love everybody and we help everyone. I don't care about your skin color I care about your character. Yea, small towns have their problems but I promise you this if you share the same values and want the same things you will be welcomed.

What I will say is we are very 2A (to the point our teachers in our school systems are allowed to conceal carry) and more than happy to protect out own... And that's his whole point. As far as crime, no much - some petty stuff but nothing major ever happens outside of car accidents. And we like it that way - and we absolutely intend on doing our part to keep it that way!
Small town in Pennsylvania here. Living here is knowing almost everyones first and last names, what vehicles they drive, who's pet is the one running down the street. Lol
It is being early 30's calling an ambulance for chest pains and having everyone who shows up already know you..... AND this is a VOLUNTEER ambulance service!!!!
As I was a member of my local volunteer department for years, we take the time out of out day or our nights sleep at the drop of tones to help those in need, race, religion, orientation, .... are never a factor!!!
Being raised here, I will protect my family, home, neigbors by whatever means necessary.
Need a ride at 3am because you're too drunk to drive, call me.... I'll make sure you get there.
Come barging in my door at 3am trying to harm my family.... You're not walking back out.
I'm from a very small town, the other day I found a man at an air pump at a gas station with a broken valve stem, kinda screwed, I didn't know him from Adam, but I did take him around to find a way to fix him up and get him going, the tire shop gave him the part he needed for free, and I took him back to his vehicle, he wanted to give me gas money, and I told him to just to pass it on. He had just moved to our little community with his wife and kids, I found out while talking to him. That is how small towns work.
I'm from small town IA where we all have a sense of pride and community. No matter our little differences, we all band together when someone needs us. Our kids needed help with lunches during the summer months and our community comes together to provide them meals and deliver them. Everybody knows everybody and watches out for each other. That's small town living.
I live in a town of 2400 total people, in rural Michigan. We have practically no crime. Our police coverage ends at midnight. Everyone is armed, and most people are related to one another. It is peaceful here.
I love knowing young people understanding this Fantastic story!!!!
Young fella….Not every place in CA is a big ol city. Small town CA way up north is where one would find comfort knowing this song is fitting. Folks take care of their own. Does not matter r@ce, color, s€x, creed, r€ligion, etc…. Just as that Veteran Farmer said; it’s exactly how it’s done in those small towns. If the big cities could only do the same as the local small towns….perhaps this world might someday be a better place. As a retired LEO I approve of this entire message that this song promotes. As it’s about a community that sticks together in times of need. Something that this Country desperately needs. I appreciate your content, your support for this project, and I hope some day you’ll be able to travel to small town Ca. Where you can wear a good ol pair of black jeans, a nice pair of boots, your favorite hoodie or flannel shirt even, and a felt hat. Yes, it gets cold enough to dress like that in small town CA. Stay blessed 😇
Morgan Wallen yes indeed. I remember when Morgan was taped and he was drinking out with his buddies, the neighbor taped him saying good night to his buddies and he was almost canceled for saying good night my Nigga, yes he Said he apologized. He truly wasn't trying to use that terrible word being derogatory or ignorant. What people must understand out here in small places like in North Texas ,small towns in West Virginia we are of all races, colors, cultures and we stand up, help each other. This song is saying just what you think, try that in a small town, they'll meet their maker fast. We just want to live in Peace. We all love each other.
I admire the creative use of hand signals.
I hear ya kid, I drank bud light for 30 years. Not no more. People got no compassion anymore, in big cities people are expendable in small towns people depend on each other.
I live in a small town and volunteer for a group that helps people in need with small household projects; meals, lightbulb changes, rides, snow shoveling, etc. The most common call I get is from people concerned I am not calling them often enough to help others. My 12 year old boy went on his first deer hunt last fall. It's just a different life.
This is the Top reaction to this great song. Thank you LiTT
I love my small town!!🙏❤
God BLESS JASON ALDEAN. He's RIGHT ON....
Yes, crime happens in small towns. But they also get dealt with and exposed. You dont want to be a criminal in a small town. 🇺🇸
I lived in a town with 200,000 people when going to college. HATED IT! Moved back home with my family few years ago. Entire county has only 20,000 on a good day. Things are a lot less stressful. We only have 6 full time officers and our fire department is strictly volunteers.
I live in a small town in west virginia and have neighbors of all races. And I promise that when the ish hit the fan we would ALL stand together to protect our community. That's just how we roll round here
Basically... He's just saying in a small town, "F*** around, and find out."
Small town boy checkin in! Like everyone else said small town livin is about respect. That’s pretty much all it comes down to. We respect each other, even if we don’t always like each other, or even know each other. We look out for each other. If something looks shady, we check it out. Crime is almost nothing besides some domestic disputes, few noise complaints, maybe some kids riding dirt bikes on private property or something but nothing major. This is NO lie, I haven’t locked my truck in years and I don’t even have a key to my house. If someone locked all my doors while I was gone I wouldn’t have a clue how to get into my house. Don’t even know where the keys are! Never had an issue. And if someone did try robbing the place while I was gone I KNOW my neighbor would come running, and I’d do the same for him.
Every town,no matter if it's big or small, has their own issues. What makes smaller towns different is during times of need, people put adide whatever beef they have and help each other.
Oh, and great video man. Thanks for putting stuff out there.
Reading all of y'all's awesome comments only validates me having served to make sure that you're free to live as you please with no harm coming to you. Trust me from the core of my heart, my fellow brothers-in-arms and I wouldn't hesitate to risk losing our lives for all of you. YOU are the reason why I served like my grandfather and great grandfather before me. So yeah, growing up in a small town gives you much perspective about what it's like to be an American. Much love from deep south Texas.
This video was shot in Columbia, TN. 30 min north of my hometown. Very proud to say that I'm from a small town.wouldnt trade it for anything.
I live in a small town in Louisiana. The population is a little over 1000. We have a caution light, no other traffic lights. We have a store, Dollar General, and a cafe. I love it here. Everyone has everyone’s back.
Im from the carolinas born and raised. Definitely come visit and see our culture. The small towns rock
Grew up in the bay area. Moved to a small town about 6 years ago. I cant see my neighbors but we all know each other better than i knew my neighbors in the city. Sure petty disputes happen from time to time. But if something like a car jacking were to happen.... there will be a line of pickup trucks, with people of multiple races, chasing them down before the sheriff/local pd even has time to react.😂
Thank you! One of my favorite songs and it is the truth! I come from a small city surrounded by small towns...my mom: Town of like 100. Seriously. One of my favorite places to go!
Enjoyed the thought-provoking commentary. Thanks for getting the gist of this song. ❤️
If criminals don’t know who may be armed they are much less likely to try something, most are cowards at heart.
I’m originally from S.Fla I moved to a small town outside of Nashville. Trust me when I say I’m so thankful I got my kids out of the city. Love small town life cost of living is crazy cheap!
I absolutely loooove you! You are officially my new favorite! Keep on....keepin on!!
With the gun he is talking about the government saying they are coming after peoples guns. Small town folks aren't giving up their guns.
Born and raised in a really small town. The culture is you are their for neighbors 100% You'll give the shirt off your back for a stranger. A hand shake still seals the deal. My mom and dad lost their home, then my mom had months in the hospital that started with a broken pelvis and ended with a heart attack and a leg amputation. The basically made sure they could buy a new home, put in a cement ramp, and held several fundraising events. All to help them out. And if any outsiders bring trouble, everyone has a gun and will protect anyone in need. We know how to grow, hunt, and survive anything thrown at us.
Small towns are about old fashion values and manners. People help each other out.
I lived in the city when I was young but moved to NC to a small town. I love it here. Theres very little crime and everyone is friendly. Plus if someone is sick or needs financial help people are willing to pitch in. I thought one day I would move back to the city but after seeing how the people are here that really changed my mind.
There hasn't been a "sundown town" anywhere in probably 50 years. Maybe 40 in only one or two areas of the south. Small southern towns are the best place to raise a family, reguardless of your race.
I grew up in a small town....very low crime. It was nice. I have family in southern California, so I've visited there some as well. I think you would like it in a small town.
Grew up in a small town in the 50s and 60s. Everyone had a gun in their truck except for the sheriff.
Didn't think he needed one!
I live in smaller town where people know most of the families. People are friendly and will help anyone who needs it. Laws are enforced! I have 2 pistols and a rifle myself. Most people own at least one gun. There is some petty crime, but when people are arrested, they actually go to jail!
There are small towns in California too, and you will find that most of them share the sentiment of this song.
I know both worlds and the best comparison is having someone come into your hood and disrespect you or your homies simply because they think they’ll get away with it. “We don’t play that” = “Try that in a small town.”
I lived in California until 15 years ago. I saw the downhill trajectory it was heading down back then so I left and moved to iowa. Yeah, Des Moines is not exactly a small town but it does have that vibe. Living here is so much more relaxed than even Tracy was. Frankly I'm glad i moved here and never looked back.
Guns laws aren’t the main issue in California it’s the criminals not afraid of anything because the arrest and prosecution laws are too lax
California Democrats blocked a bill that would have made child trafficking a serious felony.
The gun part was that the government wasn't to come and take his gun. They might take it in a city not a small town
Born amd raised in a small town and jason is right try that in a small town.
I was born and raised in a small town of 2100 in northeast Texas. I think in the 18 years before I joined the Army there was a few thefts but normally all items were returned because the thief's family normally beat the hell out of them until they return the property. In a town that small everyone knows everyone and your word and action means everything. You come together and help anyone who needs help. In my small town even your neighbors are basically like family.
I say this as an old man who grew up in a small town and now lives in a city. This is a country version of "fuck round and find out". If the shit hits the fan, my money is on country folks regardless of race. Let that sink in brother.
Born and raised in a little town in Texas, population 658.
We take care of neighbors and have each others backs. We are color blind. Community of farmers and ranchers of all colors. Black, White, Brown. Doesnt matter, we are all like family. Virtually no crime to speak of.
In fact, the local Sheriff gets bored alot and visits random people, just to chill and hang out.
We have ALOT of Veterans, including myself. Just about everyone living here owns multiple firearms. Guns are very common place.
.......nobody has been shot or died by firearm since I was in this world, and Im 47.
FAMILY CAME FROM A RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA , MOVED TO CALIFORNIA . I WAS RAISED IN CALIFORNIA, COMPTON WAS MY BACKYARD . MOVED TO A SMALL TOWN IN WASHINGTON STATE , AND NOW BACK IN CALIFORNIA . MANY DIFFERENT RACES , POLITICS, BELIEFS AND IDEAS ALL AROUND, WE ALL FIGURED IT OUT , GOT ALONG GREAT AND LEARNED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER, THAT'S WHERE IT ALL STARTS . RESPECT ! DON'T LET THE TELEVISION OR ANYTHING ELSE SEPARATE US OR DIVIDE US . WE ARE NOT AS DIFFERENT AS THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE. GETTING ALONG, GIVING A SHIT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND HAVING RESPECT ISN'T HARD .
From little old Thomasville PA. We protect our own around here. All for one one for all round here. None of this crime would fly where I am from. Great people of all backgrounds and colors.
