Country singer Jason Aldean released a new music video this week touting how small towns wouldn't put up with the kind of riots and lawlessness many cities across the country faced during the summer of 2020.
With lyrics warning violent criminals, as well as those who disrespect law enforcement and the American flag to “try that in a small town,” Aldean sings, “Yeah, ya think you're tough? Well, try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road. Around here, we take care of our own, you cross that line, it won't take long for you to find out, I recommend you don't.”
Footage from smash and grab robberies and cities burning during the 2020 riots are shown in the background of the new music video for “Try That in a Small Town.” The song's tough stance on crime and pro-Second Amendment messaging upset some liberals, who voiced their complaints on Twitter.
