That seems like it'd be right in the region of lockdown and curfews.
The Switzerland part is verifiable, somewhat.
The British part is dubious in its subject, you can see many arrests for protesting and other things the government doesn't like. But preaching? Like, religion? Thats a stretch.
You can probably find a couple over the years but not much more.
The beatings in Europe part seems anecdotal and vague.
The small town America part has strong "trust me bro" vibes and a long history of anecdotes and news stories to the contrary.
The native reservation part is verifiable in numbers but lacking in context.
North Alaska I've no idea.
Areas with high levels of organised crime (not the governmental or ruling class kind) being potentially dangerous isn't exactly high detective work, but sure.
Experiences do very wildly though, so points for that.
Overall a solid 4/10.
