I present to the jury Florida man's brother:

Average Montana people

Not disputing that Montana is full of meth, but this happened in Minnesota

Jesus I'm dumb.Thank you, Farengi. Maybe Montana is a little methed but they didn't deserve to catch my strays like that

No, they definitely deserved it. (Former resident)

Same, what prompted your flight?

Cost of living in Bozeman. Only things worth being there for are Wilcoxsons huckleberry and Pickle Barrel. Not enough reason to stay.

I heard Bozeman was one of the first to get bad fast maybe after Glacier. I do miss huckleberries and coldsmoke beer

I'm a current MT resident, planning to leave because I can't afford it anymore and I keep having to travel out of state for specialty medical care. And honestly, the number of times people have used slurs around me is too damn high

About what I was expecting. It's the same story all along the Rocky Mountains. The States keep becoming tax havens for billionaires, prices go up, the locals get nasty with the newcomers and eachother. MT always had that underlying KKK populace though.

Hope you make it somewhere you feel safer
