Aldean obviously didn't learn a thing from escaping with his life from a concert where 58 of the attendees there to see him were killed. The fact that he is not universally shunned is an embarrassment.


To believe this isn’t intentional you would have to set aside knowledge of every other thing Jason and his wife have said about their personal and political beliefs. It was intentional.

Have you seen the drop shipping tee shirts with the song titles?

He’s encouraging men in small towns to hurt anyone they don’t like.

No he is not. I personally am sick of all the lawlessness. Good for him. In your little bubble you’re appalled, in the rest of the real world we are horrified what has happened in our cities. I’m happy to see people fighting back.


Which cities are those? The ones you are deathly afraid to enter because Fox News keeps telling you how terrible they are?


Nope. For example, I recently read in the NY Times about more police being hired after a fatal stabbing and 3 people slashed on the subway.

He was born in Macon, Georgia. When did he live in Columbia, Tennesse? Oh, right...never. Nice try. His whole defense was he didn't know the location, and someone else picked it.


Uh, given that location scouting is an entire profession, that seems entirely plausible? And actually much more believable than him personally spending hours researching federalist buildings before settling on one with a connection to a crime so obscure that it didn't even have a Wikipedia article until 2021.

He has definitely lived there and in nearby small towns since he married his current wife. I don’t know why he wouldn’t mention that, but it’s a google search away.

Can we call it “associated with black people” when he shoots the video in front of the place where a black guy was lynched?


You kinda have to make the racist associations first for that to be of any meaning.

If it's not intentionally racist, it's tone deaf racist. And I'm not sure the distinction matters in 2023.

And that’s ok, especially when there are PoC on TikTok blatantly mouthing off about hating white people, wanting them dead, and so on.

Room for everyone in this world. Hey I like country music including and especially Darius Rucker. Does that count for anything?

Nobody who isn’t from whatever town that building is in had EVER heard of it before this. And I have no idea why having a crime happen there years ago makes it a symbol of anything. The British burned down the White House, so is Biden speaking in front of that some kind of venomous anti-UK hate speech?
