From what I understand, this is a true story that happened to his friend… he got 20 years ….. I was in a dv relationship for 12 years and I wish I’d had someone stand up for me like this…. One of the most impactful songs I’ve ever heard ❤
I am thrilled at your reaction! I saw my mom get beaten and the police said if she pressed charges it would make him madder….so sad for violence against women. ❤
This video is one of the best I've seen come along in years. The way the story unfolds in brilliant. Hardy and Lainey's voices just complement each other so perfectly. Love that you caught that about the gun! A lot of people don't get the double meaning, that her day of justice did come from a 'judge under the seat' and I have to say I love that line so much. There was a case near where I live a few months ago, where a woman went into the parking lot and a man was beating on his girlfriend; the woman who comes up on the scene, she had a permit to carry and she pulled out the gun and told the man to stop and once he saw a gun aimed at him, he ran like the coward he was. The cops were called and one cop sort of lectured the woman with the gun, saying she should have called them first before pulling the weapon and she pointed out that in the time it would have taken her to call, he would have caused his victim more damage and she reminded him that she had her permit. Cop asked her, "What would you do if he had come towards you rather than run off?" and she said as calmly as possible, "If he had taken two steps in my direction, you would be at a very different crime scene because I would have put at least three in his chest."
I appreciate your reactions. Having said that where i grew up we were taught at a young age if your dad, mom, uncle, cousin, friend gave you that look and said "wait in the truck" or "get in the car" , you dont ask questions, you dont argue you just do it. I get not wanting to see a life taken, but the justice system does not protect these women. Ive seen survivors say the police stood in their living room looking at the marks on her neck and telling her there was nothing they could do. She looked up the laws in her state later to find out that according to the law he was supposed to be arrested and removed from the home, and they had done nothing. Everyone, even her family knew what was happening and they did nothing. And how many times you watch the news to see the man makes bail just to go home and kill her. Its not so cut and dry and sometimes this is what it takes and we need more men like this one. She got the only justice she would ever see, thanks to him.
I love your reactions to this video. Hardy is one of the most prolific song writers of this decade and his songs are lyrical gold. This particular song hits all three sides of the issue with DV. He addresses the victim, the rescuer, and the abuser. The victim is in the middle of a back woods road walking away from the abuser but knowing that in small town America many times it is impossible to get away. You have the people who absolutely can not stand an abuser and instinctively wants to put him in his place. He also addresses the abuser in the song who is in his home drunk off his rocker, threatening her with his shot gun and happens to be passed out at that moment. This scene happens way to much in real life. He has been in prison for 60 months = 5 years and she is still waiting in the truck for him and visits on visitation days. Lyrical GOLD!
I cried the first time I watched this cuz my mom is in an abusive marriage but there is nothing I can do to help her or get her out but to me Hardy just got rid of the problem if you ask me because abusers go to jail then they get out and do it a again and a restraining order is just a piece of paper. It’s not fair abused women are not protected enough it’s not just that easy to leave. thank you for this reaction I love it🥺💜
I don't tolerate any kind of bullies (at all). It might be my undoing someday, and it has cost me some when I was younger, but I don't care. I agree with you C. Protect those that can't protect themselves. Peace, Love!!
To me life can be very simple we just tend to make it complicated. If you abuse a woman or child then the abuser chose his fate which is a bullet between the eyes. I have absolutely no compassion for trash like that man.
Great reaction and yes right or wrong,, he wont do it again! many years ago a person i know was beating his "girlfriend" up,, ii walked into the house, told her to go out and get in my car,, then proceeded to give him a beating like he never had,, told him i wanted to show him what it is like to have someone beat the hell out you and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Said ,' if you ever lay a hand on her again, i will come back and end you".. he never did .. i took her to her parents house,, and that was it.. i dont stand for that,, there is no reason to beat women nor children.. And Cindy,, thank you for your service to this great country!
I'm so happy you reacted to this song. ❤It sheds a spotlight on domestic violence....which is a good thing. The story is a good one...i agree with his decision. Ty.😊
Thank you from domestic violence survivor. My dad told me once if anyone hurt me he would end up in jail, so i didn't tell him , i would do anything for my dad and protect him always ❤
I am a 52 year old man and I am so sorry that you ended up with a cowardice peace of $#it! Women are a gift for GOD and should be treated as such period!
I was that girl...never met a guy like this back then...that would have been a good thing .... When it was happening to me, in the 80s early 90s where it was still looked at as a family issue...at least in a Midwest small town....I survived it but still have days I'm fighting those memories and hateful words. I'm with a great man now but those memories haunt
What do the same thing for every time I believe he'd find me and😊 drag me back I finally got away after 15 years heartache and misery I wish to God there's somebody like him to take up for me back then and my children
Great reaction! This song is really different. Thank you for your service. I fought off a guy on meth that was beating a pregnant woman. The Navy taught me how to defend and protect. Instinct just took over. 🥰
I believe that Hardy's character lost someone he loved to domestic violence. He just met her but decided that her only chance was if the bastard was dead. I understand the mindset as well. There's a making of Wait in the Truck video where Hardy talks about the song. The actor playing the abuser talked to Hardy and said, "I listened to the song and you never to kill me hard."
Along with all the other comments, everybody has their own moral code ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’ that’s for sure but I think this video was particularly made to bring out awareness of abuse and in all aspects of it due to the fact that we’re talking about it right now and that’s something very important because there’s so many men out there they don’t know how to be in a relationship and there’s a lot of women out there that will take it because they don’t know either it’s just the way of the system of things. And the way that the laws are now there not strict enough for domestic abuse in my opinion, and that’s the reason why people in general get away with this kind of abuse along with child abuse but anyways, I really enjoyed y’all’s reaction. Thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe. ❤️🫶🏻🤠
Ya ladies are awesome... I did a couple things.... To help my 2 sissies... They was 5-10 years older than me. I helped when I was 13.... Ya are awesome....
Lady on the right.......this man wasn't a predator. He was a man that drove into a town he never had been to his whole life. And he made a decision to end the suffering of one person........and willingly submitted themselves to suffering in the process. We need more people like that.
I understand Ma'am. I always have my weapon on hand, so thankfully, I've never been in this situation, but we took an oath to the Constitution.... If somebody violates someone else's rights in front of me..... God help them, cause I will not. Semper Fi, Warrior!
I have seen comments such as, he had never been there and did not know her. He should have driven her to the police station. I will say this then leave the subject alone. There are adults out there who were once too young or weak to defend a sibling from an abusive father. Several attempts for the siblings to run away resulted(rightly or wrongly) in them being returned to a home more like Hell that only got worse then. Young boys have been beaten and tossed to the side and had to watch through the blood running into their eyes as their older sister is beaten to death. They are helpless to save their sister then but grow up and become adults. The principal in this song may not have seen a stranger at midnight in a driving thunderstorm. He may not have been able to save his sister but he is not going to trust the system to save this girl. He had a decision to make....
This is the first video I have seen where the reviewers caught the fact the singer only shot when the other man was reaching for a 12 gauge to kill him.
BLONDE LADY IS A WOMAN AFT= MY OWN HEART. THANK YOU FOR STATING TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE. JUSTICE IN US HAS BEEN REPLACED BY LEGALITY. LEGALITY PROTECTS INCOMES OF LAWYERS COS AND JUDICIAL EMPLOYEES THE PEOPLES INTEREST NOT PART OF EQUATION. LEGALITYS PROTECT THE MOST DEBASED AND LOWEST OF CHARACTERS, AND JUSTICE BY THE AUTHORITY HAS BEEN RELACED BY ; "HERE TAKE THIS "IN GOD WE TRUST",
I agree with you and even if a restraining order is put in place all too often the abuser walks right through the restraining order and in those cases it happens where they take the life of the person they abused.
gun laws are already in place. New laws are not going to make a change. For that matter, domestic violence already has laws, if judges or DAs would put some abusers away as they should. Prayers and speaking up like y'all do will help change the tide. thank you for using your platform to spread the word.
The lyrics that are always missed in the song are the whiskey scars "I hid", which meansince there was no chance of him getting leniency for his crime to protect her because she hid the abuse
This and holy water by big and rich get me as a survivor of some stuff the emotional pull of the song makes me feel understood there is a special place for people who hurt women children or animals
The pistol is a 357 magnum not a Judge. The judge under the seat is a metaphor for the judge under the seat is the jury and sentence of the guys crime of beating her. This song has so much resonance because for what ever reason, maybe his mother was abused by an alcoholic, he felt it was worth it to fix a wrong that he couldn't when he was a boy. He knew he could survive prison but she wouldn't survive living with that guy. He traded his life for hers.
A mans honor is what he is. He knew he couldn't walk away and leave her to more torment and possible death. He told her to "wait in the truck" because it was in his hands now. This is his choice, his sacrifice, his consequence and he wanted her to have no part of that. He made that choice with his honor intact, he was sentenced with his honor intact, he is doing his time with his honor intact. And he still knew his God. He released her from her prison, her hell and he is at peace with that. And if you read the bible you know that Angels, even Jesus and God himself will raise their hands to protect "us" or even send someone to intervene. Great song. Great topic for discussion. For instance, would anyone's negative opinion on this man killing another man change if this woman were a child? Men who act on honor are a rare thing today. Very rare.
I love how you spelled Hardy like the fast food joint lol. First time watching y'all and really enjoyed. You have my sub. I love the song and it really shows how much times have changed - since Garth Brooks 'The Thunder Rolls' was banned for being about Domestic Violence and now, another song where it's front and center is/was number one in the country for a bit. Both Hardy and Lainey are amazing singers though and Hardy is great at story telling, which is probably why he wins song writer of the year awards lol
Thank you for subscribing and thank you for letting us know that I misspelled the artist name. I didn’t realize that thank you once again. I wish times were to change to where the domestic violence didn’t exist anymore.
@@jcsreactions5735 It's funny because I didn't notice it at first since it was spelled correctly everywhere else you typed it... I even thought I was just hungry for a second and scrolled to make sure LOL. Yes, I agree. It would be much better if the topic didn't exist at all and it's great it's doing so well, but I don't know if it's because people are just so used to it now and it's more talked about that it's "okay" (if that makes sense). It should never be okay, more victims die by their ex partners when they try to get away and the system doesn't really help them (they just catch and release). I've even seen/heard a few stories where the cops said 'it was out of their hands' until something happened. There's a movie called 'Telling Amy's Story' where the detective said they actually use her case as a way to NOT handle the issues. It was on PBS channels and you can find it on here. For it to get to a point where it's used as a case study, means the system is broken.
Some people have a problem with him shooting the abuser. If you look at the window you see the barrel of the shogun the man was going for. You look at the expression on Hardy’s face immediately after the shot and you can tell he does not take it lightly.
I agree that his character doesn't take it lightly. However, from a legal aspect.. he may not have entered with the intention to kill, but the moment he kicked in the door, he lost any chance of being able to claim self defence. That is why he still ended up in jail. That said, he still chose to trade his freedom for hers and did what he felt in his heart was right. And the abuser deserved it. I believe the song was inspired by a real situation where a guy found an abused woman then went and beat the guy with a tire iron, but didn't kill him. The guy got something like 20 months for assault. Some people say he was a friend of Hardy's others say he just wrote the song after hearing the story.
Catchy and compelling song/story. Civilized society involves a social contract that protects the weak. Our laws seek to ensure this -- but they and our justice system too often fall short. There are times when the right thing to do is illegal. Some (many) of those times are the result of someone going outside the social contract and preying on others. The protagonist taking limited information, making a life-altering decision and then acting on it may have been what I'd consider rash and short-sighted, but I won't say his actions were wrong or that he is a bad man for acting in the way he did. A good man is not a harmless man, but rather a man capable of great violence who voluntarily keeps that violence restrained.
As a survivor of abuse twice, almost dying with one I tbh can't speak on what I'd do now on the moment. Trauma response would take over for me. This one really got me crying, though 😭 you gained a new subscriber
As she is on the stand testifying she says "I don't know if he's an angel because angels don't do what he did" I would submit that he was both a guardian as well as an avenging angel. When the system, when society fails to protect those weakest among us it is left to rough men standing outside the rule of law to do what is necessary to preserve the peace, protect the innocent, and return civility. Some call this "vigilante justice" but for some the vigilante is the only hope to obtain justice. Here is what I saw in the video: A drifter, a loner, a ex'con (Based on the prison tats) finds a gal who has been beaten, he knows the signs he's seen them in the past in a woman he holds dear. He makes the decision to help her, the only help he knows is violence. He has been to prison and knows he can do the time. He makes the choice to remove her from her prison, a prison of abuse and pain, he frees her.
Sometimes it's not a matter of what's is right or wrong, or what's legal. Sometimes it's just what needs to be done.
Never let your sense of morality get in the way of doing what is right
Agreed!
The man deserved a medal. When a redneck tells you wait in the truck...there's something fixin' to go down.
Damn straight. Us rednecks don't put up with this kinda BS.
From what I understand, this is a true story that happened to his friend… he got 20 years ….. I was in a dv relationship for 12 years and I wish I’d had someone stand up for me like this…. One of the most impactful songs I’ve ever heard ❤
No, he and a friend just started soeculating about how they might react if something similar had happened to their girlfriends/wives.
I've watched over 100 reactions to this song and you ladies are the FIRST to point out the "Judge" under his seat! Well done!
😊
I am thrilled at your reaction! I saw my mom get beaten and the police said if she pressed charges it would make him madder….so sad for violence against women. ❤

He gave up his freedom to set her free. He traded places with her. He is a hero and a real man 😊❤
Thanks for the reaction. Thank you for your service. Glad you caught the " judge underneath the seat " excellent video.
Thank you for reacting from all of us that have been there and survived ❤
I couldn’t have said it better. I am a survivor as well and didn’t have this guardian angel. Powerful song! Thank you.
I appreciate your reactions. Having said that where i grew up we were taught at a young age if your dad, mom, uncle, cousin, friend gave you that look and said "wait in the truck" or "get in the car" , you dont ask questions, you dont argue you just do it.

When our boys are raised to the love ,respect,pertect a woman...they will step in.
To me life can be very simple we just tend to make it complicated. If you abuse a woman or child then the abuser chose his fate which is a bullet between the eyes. I have absolutely no compassion for trash like that man.
Whole heartedly agree!
Great reaction and yes right or wrong,, he wont do it again! many years ago a person i know was beating his "girlfriend" up,, ii walked into the house, told her to go out and get in my car,, then proceeded to give him a beating like he never had,, told him i wanted to show him what it is like to have someone beat the hell out you and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Thank you. From a domestic violence survivor
I am a 52 year old man and I am so sorry that you ended up with a cowardice peace of $#it! Women are a gift for GOD and should be treated as such period!
Great reaction ladies! Appreciate the honesty.
Thanks for explaining the Judge, great line.
I was that girl...never met a guy like this back then...that would have been a good thing .... When it was happening to me, in the 80s early 90s where it was still looked at as a family issue...at least in a Midwest small town....I survived it but still have days I'm fighting those memories and hateful words. I'm with a great man now but those memories haunt
The alternating lines "Have mercy, have mercy" & "Just wait in the truck" towards the end gives me goosebumps every time.
Appreciate the reaction. Might not want to pause every 15-20 seconds. 💜
He believed in what he did. He only asked the Lord to have mercy on him ( not the court ).
What do the same thing for every time I believe he'd find me and😊 drag me back I finally got away after 15 years heartache and misery I wish to God there's somebody like him to take up for me back then and my children
Thank you for your service and your honesty. I enjoyed y'all"s reactions.
Great reaction! This song is really different.
Thank you for your service.
I fought off a guy on meth that was beating a pregnant woman. The Navy taught me how to defend and protect. Instinct just took over. 🥰
Thank you for your service in both situations
Did want to add. Love your reaction. First time
If I was the judge ,i would say 1 day time served.
Outstanding Ladies!
I believe that Hardy's character lost someone he loved to domestic violence.
He just met her but decided that her only chance was if the bastard was dead.
I understand the mindset as well.
There's a making of Wait in the Truck video where Hardy talks about the song.
The actor playing the abuser talked to Hardy and said, "I listened to the song and you never to kill me hard."
This situation happened to a friend of his.
@Banana Mix from what I saw in an interview with Hardy about the making of Wait In The Truck that isn't true.
The video is in TH-cam.
@@bananamix7847 Nope, don't know how that rumor started, but it's not correct.
As a U.S. Army veteran, I agree with Cindy. I would have done the same thing. I would've just had to serve whatever sentence they gave me.
Hooah!!! Go Army🇺🇸💯❤️
Thank you for your service.
HARDY is the best. You should do more HARDY
That’s a HARDY answer
@@tarheelforlife4008 62 songs and not a single one of them bad. I love HARDY
Loved your reaction. I have seen abuse myself. If I was older I would have done the same thing. Keep putting out videos.
Ladies you are a joy to watch thank you.
He was her guardian angel….
Thank you gals, for all that you do. God Bless you.
Cindy, NEVER apologize for being a Protector. A Warrior.🙅🏻♂️
…the Valkyries never would, and neither should You!🫡🤗🫶🏻
I'm from Louisiana. They can get it
You’re one of the first channels that caught the “ Judge under the seat “ line, not a lot of other channels catch on to that
Along with all the other comments, everybody has their own moral code ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’ that’s for sure but I think this video was particularly made to bring out awareness of abuse and in all aspects of it due to the fact that we’re talking about it right now and that’s something very important because there’s so many men out there they don’t know how to be in a relationship and there’s a lot of women out there that will take it because they don’t know either it’s just the way of the system of things.

That’s how we handle things in Texas too.
Ya ladies are awesome... I did a couple things.... To help my 2 sissies... They was 5-10 years older than me. I helped when I was 13.... Ya are awesome....
Got your army back marine ,army family
Please , don't stop it so much. PLEASE.
Lady on the right.......this man wasn't a predator.
He was a man that drove into a town he never had been to his whole life.
And he made a decision to end the suffering of one person........and willingly submitted themselves to suffering in the process.
We need more people like that.
I think she was referring to the person abusing her as the abuser, not the guy who got her out of it.
Love it ladies.
Right there with you, Cindy.
I understand Ma'am. I always have my weapon on hand, so thankfully, I've never been in this situation, but we took an oath to the Constitution.... If somebody violates someone else's rights in front of me..... God help them, cause I will not. Semper Fi, Warrior!
07, from one Army Veteran to another!
As a survivor, yes!
I agree with you ladies 💯 I agree with you ladies on avoid subject
Y'alls setup is a little low tech but fantastic. I'm willing to watch more, especially Hardy, it's/he's good/great.
She's still waiting in the truck too!!
I have seen comments such as, he had never been there and did not know her. He should have driven her to the police station.
I will say this then leave the subject alone.
There are adults out there who were once too young or weak to defend a sibling from an abusive father. Several attempts for the siblings to run away resulted(rightly or wrongly) in them being returned to a home more like Hell that only got worse then. Young boys have been beaten and tossed to the side and had to watch through the blood running into their eyes as their older sister is beaten to death. They are helpless to save their sister then but grow up and become adults. The principal in this song may not have seen a stranger at midnight in a driving thunderstorm. He may not have been able to save his sister but he is not going to trust the system to save this girl. He had a decision to make....
I have shown this video to my girls and told them that i will take care of business if anyone touches them.
That's a real man
Wait in the truck she was in it Waiting
This is the first video I have seen where the reviewers caught the fact the singer only shot when the other man was reaching for a 12 gauge to kill him.
Maybe she reminded him of his mother, sister, daughter or someone he lost to abuse. Perhaps he is an Angel; an avenging one.
I was in a dv relationship for 6 years I ended up on a ventilator for 3 months. My now husband is a just wait in the truck guy ❤
I've watched a dozen reactions. You're the first person who got the Judge double entendre
The ones that say they dont like country music are thinking of the basic stereotypes but this is what they're really missing
BLONDE LADY IS A WOMAN AFT= MY OWN HEART.
THANK YOU FOR STATING TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE.
JUSTICE IN US HAS BEEN REPLACED BY LEGALITY.
LEGALITY PROTECTS INCOMES OF LAWYERS COS AND JUDICIAL EMPLOYEES THE PEOPLES INTEREST NOT PART OF EQUATION.
LEGALITYS PROTECT THE MOST DEBASED AND LOWEST OF CHARACTERS, AND JUSTICE BY THE AUTHORITY HAS BEEN RELACED BY ; "HERE TAKE THIS "IN GOD WE TRUST",
I agree with you and even if a restraining order is put in place all too often the abuser walks right through the restraining order and in those cases it happens where they take the life of the person they abused.
My favorite part of the video is when he picks up the cigarette Dude was smoking!!!!!
one thing to fear above a man of evil is a riches man.
gun laws are already in place. New laws are not going to make a change. For that matter, domestic violence already has laws, if judges or DAs would put some abusers away as they should. Prayers and speaking up like y'all do will help change the tide. thank you for using your platform to spread the word.
People miss the fact that she is driving His truck at the end
I'm with you ma'am... I wouldn't stop till the ___ was empty..
True story Hardy friend did 20 years. She waited for em got hitched had 4 kids and still got the Truck. SOUTHERN JUSTICE YA'LL. ❤❤
He broke in the house so no self defense could come from that. He committed a crime by breaking in. I get why he did it.
That bad man reached for that shot gun and that was it..
Avenging angel
I agree.
He may have not been legally correct but he definitely solved her problem.
He's from Ms she's la . We do it different down South
The lyrics that are always missed in the song are the whiskey scars "I hid", which meansince there was no chance of him getting leniency for his crime to protect her because she hid the abuse
Powerful song on a stranger willing to give his life for another. Committing domestic violence needs to have the fear of God/ firearm
From hardy's side he was happy to free her and would have done it again
Y'all remind me of my mamma! I love y'all ❤️
This and holy water by big and rich get me as a survivor of some stuff the emotional pull of the song makes me feel understood there is a special place for people who hurt women children or animals
Thanks!
She's 100% right. He traded his freedom for her freedom..
The pistol is a 357 magnum not a Judge. The judge under the seat is a metaphor for the judge under the seat is the jury and sentence of the guys crime of beating her. This song has so much resonance because for what ever reason, maybe his mother was abused by an alcoholic, he felt it was worth it to fix a wrong that he couldn't when he was a boy. He knew he could survive prison but she wouldn't survive living with that guy. He traded his life for hers.
A mans honor is what he is. He knew he couldn't walk away and leave her to more torment and possible death. He told her to "wait in the truck" because it was in his hands now. This is his choice, his sacrifice, his consequence and he wanted her to have no part of that. He made that choice with his honor intact, he was sentenced with his honor intact, he is doing his time with his honor intact. And he still knew his God. He released her from her prison, her hell and he is at peace with that. And if you read the bible you know that Angels, even Jesus and God himself will raise their hands to protect "us" or even send someone to intervene. Great song. Great topic for discussion. For instance, would anyone's negative opinion on this man killing another man change if this woman were a child? Men who act on honor are a rare thing today. Very rare.
I love how you spelled Hardy like the fast food joint lol. First time watching y'all and really enjoyed. You have my sub. I love the song and it really shows how much times have changed - since Garth Brooks 'The Thunder Rolls' was banned for being about Domestic Violence and now, another song where it's front and center is/was number one in the country for a bit. Both Hardy and Lainey are amazing singers though and Hardy is great at story telling, which is probably why he wins song writer of the year awards lol
Thank you for subscribing and thank you for letting us know that I misspelled the artist name. I didn’t realize that thank you once again. I wish times were to change to where the domestic violence didn’t exist anymore.
@@jcsreactions5735 It's funny because I didn't notice it at first since it was spelled correctly everywhere else you typed it... I even thought I was just hungry for a second and scrolled to make sure LOL. Yes, I agree. It would be much better if the topic didn't exist at all and it's great it's doing so well, but I don't know if it's because people are just so used to it now and it's more talked about that it's "okay" (if that makes sense). It should never be okay, more victims die by their ex partners when they try to get away and the system doesn't really help them (they just catch and release). I've even seen/heard a few stories where the cops said 'it was out of their hands' until something happened. There's a movie called 'Telling Amy's Story' where the detective said they actually use her case as a way to NOT handle the issues. It was on PBS channels and you can find it on here. For it to get to a point where it's used as a case study, means the system is broken.
Lainey Wilson is in the tv show yellowstone
Some people have a problem with him shooting the abuser. If you look at the window you see the barrel of the shogun the man was going for. You look at the expression on Hardy’s face immediately after the shot and you can tell he does not take it lightly.
I agree that his character doesn't take it lightly. However, from a legal aspect.. he may not have entered with the intention to kill, but the moment he kicked in the door, he lost any chance of being able to claim self defence. That is why he still ended up in jail. That said, he still chose to trade his freedom for hers and did what he felt in his heart was right. And the abuser deserved it.
I believe the song was inspired by a real situation where a guy found an abused woman then went and beat the guy with a tire iron, but didn't kill him. The guy got something like 20 months for assault. Some people say he was a friend of Hardy's others say he just wrote the song after hearing the story.
Catchy and compelling song/story. Civilized society involves a social contract that protects the weak. Our laws seek to ensure this -- but they and our justice system too often fall short. There are times when the right thing to do is illegal. Some (many) of those times are the result of someone going outside the social contract and preying on others. The protagonist taking limited information, making a life-altering decision and then acting on it may have been what I'd consider rash and short-sighted, but I won't say his actions were wrong or that he is a bad man for acting in the way he did. A good man is not a harmless man, but rather a man capable of great violence who voluntarily keeps that violence restrained.
All the lovely ladies love it!!! 🥰🥰
The Little Girl- John Michael Montgomery next please!
Theres absolutely no reason to treat a women like that and there should be no law that says a man cant make it right
The pistol is the judge and jury. Thank you
As a survivor of abuse twice, almost dying with one I tbh can't speak on what I'd do now on the moment. Trauma response would take over for me.
This one really got me crying, though 😭 you gained a new subscriber
As she is on the stand testifying she says "I don't know if he's an angel because angels don't do what he did" I would submit that he was both a guardian as well as an avenging angel.
When the system, when society fails to protect those weakest among us it is left to rough men standing outside the rule of law to do what is necessary to preserve the peace, protect the innocent, and return civility. Some call this "vigilante justice" but for some the vigilante is the only hope to obtain justice.
Here is what I saw in the video: A drifter, a loner, a ex'con (Based on the prison tats) finds a gal who has been beaten, he knows the signs he's seen them in the past in a woman he holds dear. He makes the decision to help her, the only help he knows is violence. He has been to prison and knows he can do the time. He makes the choice to remove her from her prison, a prison of abuse and pain, he frees her.
damn. First hard core lefty reaction of this video I've seen. 2 dems vs reality is what I would title this. I don't see how you 3 are friends
