I don’t think they have a “key to the city” award for hitting a woman lying on the ground in the head with a folding chair.

Note that in the video even in the heat of the moment when people were enjoying the show the woman recording it started screaming “oh my god”, shocked over it, and a man commenting that he was going to jail.

I’ll have to finish that later for the commentary but the way that all went down is utterly gut wrenching and infuriating!

Insta commentator [Bookersquared](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvoQZVNg1zQ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)  
condensed her thoughts on the melee calling out Jason Aldean fans to see what happens when you try that in a small town. 👍

That would certainly be true. I tried repeatedly to view the whole video of what transpired but it kept locking up. Ignorance fought.

I appreciate the dig at Jason Aldean, but my inner nitpicker needs to point out that Montgomery is a city of 200,000+ people and the state capitol.
