  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

Just some good old boys

Always meaning some harm

Beats migrants you never saw

Been working with the law since Maga was born

Straightening their hoods, yeah

Burning crosses in the hills

Someday their wife will try to leave them but the law will never allow.

What makes you think they haven't already? For all we know they could be buried in some third world supermax prison. Multiple citizens have already been victimized by crazy bullshit like this with little to no meaningful repercussions.
