I'm in a town of 3600.. People are super fucking poor and still work their asses off. None of them would give a fuck if you "try that" or w/e the fuck that guy is on about.. They'd go on about their business because they are just surviving. They'd sure as fuck not give a shit about any sorta of vigilante justice. They'd say "that's definitely not my problem"
Pretty sure this dude is pandering to wannabees who probably have never actually spent any time in a small town in the US.
Ageing suburban boomers who think they still look cool on a Harley and spend the days in the garage avoiding the wife and working on their COPD and cirrhosis while listening to AM hate radio giving the stink eye to the kids walking by playing their vidja games and whatnot. They're the ones who think they're "small town" because their 401k bought them a McMansion in the woods 20 miles out from the city core.
