So much here.

They live in a town called Rifle and he was arrested in a town called Silt. I'm losing the will to live just reading those names.

Meanwhile the victims range in age from a toddler to a senior citizen. And the kids he was arrested with are all younger so he's some kind of ring leader. This is not going to end well for him. Or his kid. Yes, Boebert referred to him as "an adult and father".

Sigh.

What's wrong with Silt?

It's just not very inspiring. Makes me think of dried up river beds. There's a lot of things you can name a town. Silt and Rifle do not lead me to believe there's a lot of intellectual stimulation. More desperately trying to scrape a living out of scrub brush and rocks. Maybe it's really nice. What do I know.

silt noun

fine sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbour

verb

become filled or blocked with silt

Example: the river's mouth had silted up

Sounds like a Hollow Knight DLC

That's metal, man...

"Silt" sounds like the name of a settlement I'd set a post-apoc action-adventure novella in.
