Country music star Jason Aldean sparked controversy with his new hit song 'Try That in a Small Town', which slams left wing antagonists for antics that wouldn't fly in the South.
Aldean, 46, released the gun-toting, anti-woke song Friday, just days before he suffered a severe heatstroke on stage in Hartford, Connecticut.
But the singer is facing the heat again for his latest track, which interlaced clips of BLM protestors vandalizing cities with lyrics endorsing traditional values and 'taking care of our own.'
Aldean opens the song: 'Cuss out a cop, spit in his face. Stomp on the flag and light it up. Yeah, ya think you're tough? Try that in a small town.'
The music video was met with backlash among some who felt the lyrics were dog-whistles intended to offend, while others saw it as a commentary on America's sharp divides.
Aldean's newest hit takes aim at woke activists for acting 'a fool', particularly condemning the series of BLM protests that sprung up across America following the police-killing of George Floyd in 2020.
The riots resulted in billions of dollars in damage and led to questions over why such a large number of people were willing to break the law, with Aldean feeling the unrest was due to people not being 'raised right'.
'Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk, carjack an old lady at a red light,' he sings. 'Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store - ya think it's cool, well, act a fool.
'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 try that in a small town.'

A worthy protest song against the commies.
Antifa tried it in Weatherford, Texas. The men gathered together and drove them out of town. It was glorious.
“When not showing footage of BLM protests, Aldean was seen in the divisive music video singing in front of a large white property”
LOL- yes- calling out hoodlums and cowards is divisive!!
Englewood, IL did the same.

Black Lives Matter protesters were kicked out of a Chicago neighborhood by residents Tuesday night.
Demonstrators had shown up in front of the 7th District police station in Englewood to protest a Chicago police-involved shooting, WFLD-TV reported.
However, they were only in the area for an hour because residents of the neighborhood — which is 94 percent black — pushed back.
So, condemning unrestrained violence, assault, murder and destruction is, now, considered “controversial”./sarc
Yankee small towns don’t put up with BLM/Antifa crap either.
Just 2 articles from Ohio:

He’s not wrong and they never will. 😏
Y’all come down to Pikeville, Kentucky for a little Southern Hospitality.😎
Everybody regardless of whatever hates these bastards.
Ordinary citizens just doing the job that law enforcement officers can’t or won’t do.
Here it is for anyone who has not heard the song:
And.......?
Thanks for the INFO. I have lived all over this nation I loved more then my life. I don’t believe many cities would put up with any race riots.
Could blm or antifa riot in my neighborhood?
Tybalt would have understood what the left is trying to pawn off on us all — kneel down and bow. He called it “vile submission!!!
“ Antifa tried it in Weatherford, Texas. The men gathered together and drove them out of town. It was glorious.”
We call them Pantyfa!
