Where do you live?

Why is Paris, Tx a hellhole you ask? You ever been to a part of a city where you've been scared to death of being mugged if you make one wrong move? Now, imagine that same scenario, only instead of a city it's a tiny little podunk town. And instead of being mugged, you have to worry about being tied to the tailgate of a pickup and dragged over dirt roads for an hour. And instead of being afraid of one or two people jumping out of the shadows at you, it's the entire population of the town you're afraid of being lynched by. If your name isn't "Billy Bob Humpkins" and you don't drive a red pickup with a confederate flag in the back window, you'll get death-glares from every inhabitant of the town. Easily the most threatening place I've ever been to.

Now I'll agree about it being a lame twon but, afraid to walk down a street because you may be tied to a truck? wtf, it may be Podunk, but this isn't the 50's
