Going to come at this from a different angle: according to the arbiter of Truth aka Wikipedia, Sheryl now lives in West Nashville, which is basically downtown. (Candace Owens, Matt Walsh are a couple of the ‘younger’ conservative commentators.) Sheryl Crow also gave birth to a son after breaking up with Lance Armstrong, then adopted another. Wikipedia also states she was raised Presbyterian. The strange ‘mass shooting’ that’s referenced took place at Coventry Presbyterian’s private school; according to Wikipedia she has voiced concerns about US going into Iraq in 2003 (who hasn’t?) and about, wait for it...gun violence.
Then Aldean references Las Vegas. Another very strange event, as was Nashville. As a rabbit holer, neither of these ring true. Fetzer and others have been all over them. The Nashville one never could gain much traction because of the ‘shooter’s sexual identity.”
Lastly, there’s this barely watched, dry, smart guy who just moved off Bitchute because of shadow banning. He just talks. His main topic is
the MIC/CIA/NATO/Banker Anthropologist Agencies cranking out mind altering substances & control in California. It ain’t just drugs, but cultural influences throughout the entertainment/music industry. And, like in the old marriage vow, once one says “I do” it’s till death do us part.
To be honest after reading this article and linking the video and lyrics as well yesterday; I didn't see all that much offensive about this song.
As you say, Sheryl could have bitched about a lot of other songs that were much worse. This whole thing is about trying to continuously promote the false racist narrative that the left and MSM uses to divide this country. Actually, whether you like rock, rap, country, reggae or whatever, the song is about sticking up for what is right. So tell me, what's wrong with that?

I don’t particularly like country music & I had never heard of Jason Aldean. If it wasn’t for some Soros sponsored woke activism I would never have known about this singer or this song. I think this will resonate strongly with a lot of people.
Its a shame she decided to become political at this late date. She would have gone down in history as a widely revered American icon had she kept her silence. If she keeps it up, this is all she will be remembered for.
Why choose this song? I'm also in agreement with the Watchman (above) about how timely and convenient her denunciation has been: "This whole thing is about trying to continuously promote the false racist narrative that the left and MSM uses to divide this country." The one-sidedness of cancel culture continues unabated. To what end? Everything related to family, law and order, and tradition must be evil and bad and therefore abolished?
I refer any interested parties again to the 2020 CHAZ-CHOP lynch mob which killed one 16-year old black male and seriously injured another 14-year old black male. https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-fifth-shooting-antifa-celebrates-chop Something to be said for a basic commitment to Civil Society, and having a properly trained, supervised, and FUNDED police force. I am not endorsing the implicit community-based vigilantism in the song. But if the rule of law did break down, I would be one of people trying to restore civil society. Aldean is not wrong -- many Americans have a limited tolerance for lawlessness and chaos. Why is that now unspeakable?
The always good value for money Candace Owens has waded in with these insights. I’m going with Owens over Crowe as someone with an objective moral compass any day of the week. https://youtu.be/-YDrELR8hLQ
Apparently the video was filmed in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia Tennessee. In 1927 a gang of white men dragged a black man, Henry Choate, through the streets behind a car & then strung him up in front of the courthouse. The symbolism is there if you look for it. There is perhaps an argument that the video is borderline insensitive. Also apparently the singer did not grow up in a small town, he grew up in large cities. Well that’s another great big ‘so what’. I grew up in a city. I now live remotely with the closest town (3 miles) having a population of 400. I relate to that small town culture.
None of this in any way counters your point about far, far more offensive, violent and disturbing material that Ms Crowe seems comfortable with.
It's going to be difficult to find an older public building or institution in the USA which cannot be associated at some point with a disgraceful event. Harvard has numerous lapses. Faculty who collected human specimens, etc. I don't know the intent behind the video or location choice.
But I think your point is on target. People are objecting more to the video. It shows and seems to generally condemn the violent riots of 2020. These remain remembered by many as well-intended "mostly peaceful" protests which got out of control. I think the reality far more complicated. But ANY criticism of riots -- or of the now obvious corruption of certain BML former leaders -- is still seen by some as racist.
As you've mentioned, I find the uproar highly selective and self-serving. As for the possibility that citizens will take matters into their own hands if the reign of law breaks down, sadly, that is a real concern. But if you want a moden-day lynching, recall what happened in Seattle's CHAZ-CHOP. An armed mob playing security and reacting to rumor targeted and shot-up an SUV, killing a 16-year old black youth and seriously injuring another 14-year old black youth. The same mob initially celebrated their actions on social media. The PM captures that here: https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-fifth-shooting-antifa-celebrates-chop
The MSM, largely silent on condemning this lynch mob action. Why? Because it was mostly black-on-black violence, and it was also clearly (in retrospect) a mistake. There was no imagined -- rumored -- excursion by Proud Boys, or Bugaloo Boys, or White supremacists whatever -- only these two black teenagers driving around the scene. The one young man is still dead at 16 -- with no due process to speak of. I think he was entitled to more than an "Oops" from the MSM. But no outrage.
The lynching that happened almost 100 years ago in Tennesse was evil. The 2020 CHAZ-CHOP killing, also evil. A mob who put themselves beyond the law and acted out their violent fantasies to deadly consequences. When do we pay attention to the present?
Forgot to give link to “Juxtaposition 1” who is also adamant about drugs in all high-level sports; Armstrong!

I am sure Crow is jabbed to the gills; hopefully Aldean is not.

Streisand Effect
Maybe. The more people pile on, the sillier they look. Censor this song -- as opposed to countless others which are explicitly violent?
