My family moved to a little town like that when I was a teenager, OP. It was seriously fucked up. The fire department would let your house burn down if they didn't like you. An Asian family who opened up a restaurant were forced to flee due to racism. The principal of the high school got caught abusing a farm animal with one of the students. There were reports that people would kidnap other people for the weekend for kicks. Seriously crazy shit in that town. We lasted a year and a half before my Mom and Dad sold the property and got the fuck out.
