Hear me out, but childhood trauma and neglect is common in rural areas. This was especially the case 30-40 years ago when family violence prevention programs were just lip service and practically non-existent.

I assume those children grew up to become maladapted adults with Cluster B traits. This manifests as antisocial nuisance behaviours such as rolling coal.

Childhood trauma isn't an excuse for being an asshole, though.
They could drive a modest sedan and with the difference they saved they could afford some real good therapy.
