There is a place for opinion documentaries, but this seems to try and take the approach of an unbiased documentary. Given that premise, it was a poor documentary.
The premise is that the vigilante murder of the town bully set the stage for the deterioration of the town and other violence. The premise doesn't hold up, and about half of the interviews with the townspeople have very little credibility.
The documentary should be about half the length and more focused on the central story of the vigilante murder.
