Pistols are brandished several times, used to threaten people a couple of times, used for shooting targets, and handled carelessly.
Rioting between protestors and police is shown, but mostly limited to shoving. A sense of danger from the police and other government actors is depicted.
A parent threatens violence against one high school guy on multiple occasions. Other guys refer to the potential for violence from parents.
Several times a guy grabs, threatens, and coerces his sister to make her comply with his idea of how girls should behave. A man attempts to verbally dominate his wife. Declining acceptance of these actions, which the characters call "macho", is a source of contention.
