Lookup the Springfield Cobra Scare. It's a classic bit of Americana from right here.

In 1953 a dude got mad about his pet fish dying, and released a crate of cobras into the town. As one does. The entire town then proceeded to lose their shit and organize armed cobra hunting parties. And because it was the 50s and everyone was old-timey racist, they also hired an Indian snake charmer to drive around playing snake charming music.
Anyway they ended up beating all the cobras to death with garden hoes.
This sounds made up but I promise you it's entirely true.
