I just tried that in a small town. Oh myyy…

@georgetakei I think you meant this to be a reply to something? No context.

@freemo @georgetakei I think he’s saying he committed an act of violence 👀

It’s a reference to #TryThatInASmallTown, an anti-violent crime song by #JasonAldean

@realcaseyrollins @freemo @georgetakei Nah. It doesn't take much. He probably walked down the street while holding his husband's hand.

@SharonGibson3 @freemo @georgetakei The song is about violent crime, that’d be the only thing to try in order for the reference to make sense.

Unless I’m missing something, and something in the song says something about gay people holding hands? 🤔

@realcaseyrollins @freemo @georgetakei There's reference to flag burning, with the dare, "Try that in a small town." (Flag burning is the method used in the disposal of old flags; it's protected speech as well, yet the song promises violence toward such an offender.)

So, there are lots of acts that one had better not try, even today, in a small town, including being Black after sundown. Aldean's message is loud and clear.
