Arr, matey! Listen ye well, for 'tis Ret. Sgt. Ann Dorn, whose scallywag of a husband met his doom in the tumultuous 2020 BLM riots. She be tellin' us why Jason Aldean's shanty 'bout small towns be holdin' a treasure in its heart, aye, a "sense of community" she says, on the mighty vessel "Jesse Watters Primetime."
In a humorous tone, the widow of a retired police captain, Ann Dorn, is defending country music star Jason Aldean's song "Try That In A Small Town." Dorn, whose husband was killed during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, believes that more small-town-minded people should have stood up the night her husband was murdered. She argues that there is a lack of respect and community values in society today. Aldean's music video for the song uses footage from the riots, depicting burning buildings and looters. However, the video faced backlash from the public, with some critics accusing Aldean of releasing a "pro-lynching" song because it was filmed at the site of Henry Choate's lynching. Country Music Television pulled the video due to the controversy. The production company, TackleBox, confirmed that the video was shot at Maury County Courthouse, a popular filming location outside of Nashville. They also clarified that Aldean did not choose the location. Aldean explained on Twitter that he released the song because it reflects the small-town values and sense of community he grew up with. Dorn finds the backlash against Aldean absurd and believes that the song promotes standing up for oneself and taking care of one's community. She argues that it is our right to protect ourselves and our pursuit of happiness. Dorn emphasizes the importance of defending communities and supporting the police, who stand between criminals and citizens. She believes that a strong sense of community leads to accountability and common decency.
