I looked right at that cop and said "I bet you smack your wife around, too." But...I went back in bc I wasn't losing my son. It took me 5 more months, and a lot of scheming and suffering, but I got out. It's also why I'm now considered a "bitch" bc I will NEVER take anything from anyone, ever again.

Amen to that! I was 16 and pregnant, when I had to flee into the arms of a neighbor that I’d never met, after banging on his door for help- he opened his door, his arms, & his heart, after a quick comforting hug, all he said was “r u ok? Where is he?”. I quickly replied “somewhere behind me, I was running from him”- the man sat me on his couch, grabbed his gun and waited at the door. Spent the next 18 years being stalked & hiding. Still tear up, when I think of that angel that opened his door to me- wish I could thank him again, after all this time, & introduce him to my now adult child, that he saved that night!

😢

There’s no need to thank the few of us out here. But just my quick story of defending a young lady. One day I seen a truck swerving all over the road, I didn’t know what was going on until I got right up really close behind them, a guy was repeatedly hitting and pulling the girls hair, and he kept slamming on his breaks, so I was calling the police, then he pulls over, and by the time I caught up to near where he pulled over at, he had already had gotten out the truck and was on the passenger side, pulling her outta the truck while still beating on her. So, I slammed on my brakes and got out , ran up to him and grabbed him in a chokehold and slammed him to the ground and, I beat him into a coma . He was in a coma for a few weeks, and he partially recovered. I did get arrested because, I did call the law before he stopped, but sense the cops weren’t there yet , I had to do what I had to do to stop him completely. And at the trial the young lady showed up and testified about everything from him beating her to me beating him. And she said if I didn’t stop and help her, that her bf that was beating her, said he was try to pull her out to kill her, and this saved her life. Well, the judge gave me a 5yr sentence, but by the GRACE OF GOD, I asked for a review of my case and the warden and sheriff, asked the judge why was the guy that beat her getting about the same sentence. And by this time, I had already spent little over 6months in, the judge, changed his ruling and, the judge gave me time served, but it took them almost a month to get all the paperwork done. AND IF I EVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, I’LL DO IT AGAIN! Ladies or men,PLEASE DO NOT STAY WITH MENor a woman,THAT ARE BEATING YOU ARE EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY ABUSING YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN , LIVE THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY, THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PLACES THAT WILL HELP, JUST ASK THE POLICE FOR THE INFORMATION, and usually the police will take you and your children to a safe house!

We don't have a system of justice anymore. Death penalty needs to apply to most crimes again!

Almost happened to our family as well after my step brother in law was discovered to be molesting myself and his own step daughter, when we were 4 and 5. Thankfully the REAL men in our lives stepped in and made it impossible for by removing the possibility.

It is exactly this. The warning signs are ignored. And you can't do anything legally before they get violent, either. Even if everyone and their dog knows that's where it's headed. I don't know how you deal with that dilemma. I don't want people arrested on suspicion of future violence. But the system is failing abuse victims.

Back when I was still in LEO work I was asked several times by females what they should do to keep themselves safe, be it from an abusive relationship or an attacker. Told each one of them that I can’t be there in time, even if I’m cruising through a housing area and only a couple doors away that it’s not fast enough. They have to be ready and capable of defending themselves and their families. Now, there’s a complication in this matter because my last department was actually as an Army civilian police officer and for a bunch of moronic reasons military bases are essentially gun free zones. So I had to recommend certain other defensive tools that fell within the scope of what was legally acceptable on post. Inside the home if not in the barracks then a firearm was available, but to female soldiers who lived in the barracks they are basically defenseless except for maybe a small defensive style knife. All that said, the absolute worst domestics I ever encountered were those where the suspect was a woman. Especially if she had previously had her spouse charged with domestic (even if the case was dropped) because it completely ruins a service member’s career/reputation even if it’s false.

@@soonerfrac4611 Wow. Very informative. Thanks for the insight!

Now it is a lot of Oakies , that twang of awful country music for hicks but it is Americana music that is the best and does this, folk history as there is a war against women and the police do not give a damn or can but they let out domestic abusers all the time and they get out and murder the woman and children! WOMEN BEING MURDERED IS NOW AN AMERICAN TRADITION OF THE POLICE NOT HELPING WOMEN BUT HE DID THE RIGHT THING AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AND KILL THESE KINDS OF MEN , HATING AND RAPING AND MURDERING WOMEN !! HE SERVED JUSTICE BUT HE WAS MORAL AND HAD ETHICS ! DAMN SAD AND SO DAMN AMERICAN MEN NOW , NOT ALL OF THEM BUT WE GOT SOME OF THESE KINDS OF MEN , THE GOOD MEN!! AND WE LOVE THE GOOD MEN !!

This is a great song it is a modern rendition of alot of old 50s country music and western ballads,

Great ballad, I guarantee in the future, we will see many things like this if JUSTICE doesn't clean up its act.

Hardy’s wordplay is fantastic. He can write serious songs like this that make you feel something, but he’s also great at making those back road blow-out-your-speakers anthems that aren’t exactly thought provoking but provide a great backing track to your beer drinking adventures

And this is why America is doomed. This some weird revenge porn. We know damn well you have a house full of traitors and their ain't no cowboys like this putting them down

Yes!!! That's what I love about the culture of the American south!

Even if it wasn't that model of gun, it could still be used metaphorically. Like the "judge" handed down the sentence of death.

I'm 14 and this is deep

Honestly, how I think many will interpret this song and how I think it was meant to be interpretted is that the first response to domestic violence can be murder. It is telling a story and doesn't directly say "do this", but it paints murderous vigilante justice as a great thing. Does it solve a problem, objectively yes. It also creates an ideological and moral conflict about how a civil society should govern itself. If that's excusable, then what else is?

@@jas9574 The fact that the protagonist of the song turns himself in, changes the tone a bit though. If you watch a superhero show like the Green Arrow you'll see a vigilante performing illegal acts "for the good of the people" and then running away to be able to keep doing "good." This song says something different though. It says that vigilantism comes with consequences. He gives up his life to end the life he deems to be evil. Does that make it ok? No. And he struggles with that even asking for forgiveness. The mane point I'm making is that most people aren't going to imitate this song, if for no other reason, because they don't want to give up the rest of their life, and even if you think the song presents the protagonist and his chosen actions as mostly good, it doesn't present them as heroically rewarding, and that's important. It is actually a thinker, and to me it leaves the question open... and only open because he was willing to satisfy justice by paying the penalty for his crime.

Which is very different from some other country songs...Good By Earl by The Chicks, Gun Powder and Lead by Miranda Lambert, and Independence Day by Martina McBride

i see him as a total simp who threw his life away over the word of a woman he just met

There can be no true justice, so long as laws are absolute. Life itself is an exercise in exceptions.

He killed someone he could’ve just beat the shit out of the guy but shot him he deserves to go to jail it’s a dumb song by a dumb artist followed by a dumb genre of music country is terrible

Appealing to God who commands “you shall not murder.”

Are you insane? Its an ode to rash decisions and it is horrible. So a guy meets a girl and within 10 minutes he drives and murders another man. I know the point you are trying to make but the premise supersedes anything noble, so accepting one's actions isn't manly when it was a bad decision to begin with. I see nothing good in this, should be a warning that a rash decision doesn't cover a bad situation. The song is borderline dangerous because it makes people feel like you do and blurs the line that this anything but noble and good. Also she'd be in prison for accessory.

@@MasterBojangles I'm not saying that it's okay to do something bad as long as you are responsable about it. What I say is that in this song he commited the sin, isn't proud of it and has to live with that. It is manly to face the concequences of your actions, the easiest way is to vowardly run away from it. He faced the repercutions and regrets what he did. I think that's a good story. Noble? Nah. A noble man would not have killed. I dont think it was a rash desition because he had time to think about it and killed the man rather calmly, there's also the fact that he stayed. That was clealy thought out. There is nothing good in how the facts went, it is actually tragedy after tragedy. But seeing him see himself over his head and pleading to the only One that can get him out of there was moving. It's a reflection of moral values and a reflection of the fragility and impotence of humanity when faced with hardships. I find it poetic, and a good story on human nature, but an example to follow? No.

@@PaulGraham-qy9xh thank youuu. Nobody ever talks about that or the fact that there are thousands of women’s shelters all across the country, she could’ve gone to one of those and told that man “please take me to a shelter, I will absolutely not give you directions back to my place to kill him, that’s crazy talk”. I’ve lived rural all my life and love country music and this song just irks me. Why would you portray this as something romantic like this? You know how many men I’ve heard say “ya that’s what a man should do if he finds a woman like that! Go kill that f’er!” These are men who have wives and children, like do they really think they would go sacrifice all that to help a woman they don’t know? I can almost guarantee they wouldn’t. More than likely they’d just take her to the police station or something. I can enjoy the beautiful writing of the song but do I think it’s one of the best country songs of our time? Absolutely not.

a "good man"" who is also a sucker

A good man doesn't commit murder

I think that's the most frustrating that you tried 2 help because u knew she needed it but she wasn't ready 4 help and then it was 2 late 4 help. I hope that the next time u see this u do the same thing because hopefully that woman eill be ready 4 help. My husband always says he will go out of his way 2 help a woman if he can because he hopes someone does same 4 me. I've always known I was covered by my husband, my daddy, my brother and my family bur I also never put myself in a situation that they had 2 clean up just because I knew they would...

My husband is law enforcement and he OFTEN shows up to the same domestics that were reported by neighbors. Unfortunately most of the women don't leave or even speak up for the man to be prosecuted. It is disgusting how many of those women are found dead not long afterwards. It is heartbreaking... but you can't force those women to leave. They have to do it themselves. Please know it is NOT your fault and truly a horrible situation.

Just wait in the truck, sweetheart.

I’m glad you got out. I hope you found or will find peace and happiness. My neighbors listened to my screams and never came to help. My getting out came after he poured hot pasta sauce all over me I saw my reflection in the mirror. Like really saw me and what I had become. Four hours of being held there I finally got the car key and ran for the door. Almost hit him pulling out of the driveway. The police never charged him. He had friends on the force. I’m remarried to a strong and gentle man. He wakes me when I have my nightmares and scream in my sleep. The only justice I want anymore is to forget. To be able to actually sleep without seeing his face. I’d take that.

I was a bouncer after I got out of the Army. I personally “escorted” anyone that laid their hand on a woman out of the bar. Sometimes they “fell” down the stairs or ended up having to visit a doctor.. not tough and have taken my licks but it’s up to men to step and stop these boys from hitting women.

Exactly

Never lived in any “hills” so I don’t know a hillbilly, but I’m from the country, and we call it country justice.

You like this song because you're dumb. And it's exactly how the government/media cabal wants you to think so, that it has a reason to imprison you for something stupid you did because of an unrealistic idiotic heehaw country song.

Isn't it sad that nowadays that's considered "toxic masculinity"?

Lol... don't forget about the Dixie chick's (puke) Earl song.

Yet another reason that I'm glad I got myself and my family out of WA.

I can't wait to get out of WA

Or a functioning justice system that doesn't require a man like the one who picked her up. Beating a spouse/significant other/child should have higher punishment than drug possession.

Yeah, I have no problem with people taking out the trash. My only problem with vigilante justice is the possibility of someone who has done nothing wrong getting killed over false allegations. In my early 20s I was with a girl who was an absolute nutcase. Any time we had a disagreement she would find a way to fall and hurt herself. At first I thought she was just clumsy but the more she did it the more I realized it was just something she did to manipulate people around her, to get herself out of trouble or get sympathy from others. Then one day I said something she didn't like and she punched me, and I immediately broke things off for good. Fast forward a few years and now she has taken her abuse and manipulation to a new level, beating on her boyfriends and/or beating herself then calling the cops to punish them for angering her. I never once even thought about threatening her or getting violent because I've been raised all my life to hate wife beaters, but if I hadn't gotten out when I did she would have beaten me, then beaten herself and have me locked up for nothing. She did it to multiple other guys after I left. Some of them made the mistake of hitting her back when she tried to beat them, but some of them did nothing and got thrown in jail anyway. Violent sociopaths like her are my one problem with doing the kind of thing shown in this video, because she easily could have gotten a man killed for nothing in a situation like this. She may have fucked a bunch of guys behind my back and emotionally manipulated me but at least I was lucky enough to get the hell out before she went full psycho. Oh, I almost forgot: when I broke up with her she tried to emotionally blackmail me by threatening to kill herself if I didn't take her back.

@@katieinhops5163 They tend to go hand in hand, a lot of abusers become abusive after getting addicted to one substance or another. In my ex-husband's case, it was meth; in my uncle's (a different uncle than the one mentioned above - his older brother), it was alcohol. My uncle eventually got help, sobered up & became the husband & father his wife, children, 5 brothers & many many grandchildren & nieces & nephews knew he was in his heart. My ex? He's currently on trial for 2 1st degree felonies 18 years later, one of which is trafficking Fentanyl. Im honestly shocked he's still alive, I've been expecting a phone call from my in-laws that he overdosed for years. He'll probably get out of it again, despite Florida's mandatory sentencing laws for habitual offenders & now, fentanyl, he always does somehow. I don't think drugs should carry a prison sentence unless it's the last resort, though. I think they should send them to involuntary, locked down rehab. I know an addict won't get sober if they're not ready but long enough in rehab to force sobriety so they have time to think, I believe it could really help a lot of people, my ex included. He wasn't always a bad man, he was pretty great when I married him, but it didn't take long for meth to change him into a completely different person & over the years he's just got worse & worse.

@@adambyrd3012 Most of us probably are, but I have definitely seen people ask in the comments on reviews of this song, because they aren't familiar. It's not hurting anybody to have the answer sitting there so somebody doesn't have to ask I guess.

As a Metalhead and Progger . . . I was really impressed by this. Its like the "Country" my Father enjoyed, not just "Pop" with a Southern twang.

I know, I stopped listening to country music 10 years ago. If I want a sermon I go to church.

Check out Upchurch if you like this.

Yep, modern country is simple and pathetic. Most don't have any deep means.

And rap

Check out metal.

In a sense, yes. However, modern country is mostly garbage, though I struggle to actually call that kind of stuff country anyway. It's just pop.

Oh i love the stories inside the music.

@@darylsmithofficial 🤣🤣

There’s drilling plenty of great country. Its just usually not played on the radio. You have to know where to find it, and its more accessible than ever with streaming. Check out Charley Crockett, Colter Wall, or Joshua Ray Walker

this is really similar to the old school stuff I grew up with as far as not a lot of instrumentation and counts a lot on the vocals. Country and some crossover like The Oak Ridge Boys, The Forester Sisters, Kenny Rogers, Johnny and Roseanne Cash. In fact, Kenny's song Coward of the County, I would consider to be kind of the grandpa of this one as far as subject matter.

Yeah. I’m a fan of old country. Last week, Alabama came on the radio and my two and a half year old goes “Daddy’s song”. Lol. But yeah. George Jones once asked who’s gonna fill their shoes? It certainly isn’t Florida Georgia Line or Kane Brown.

@@thefreeman8791 Aaaaawwww. too cute. Can't go wrong with Alabama. I think, like was said above you, the artists that will carry us on are out there, they're just mostly independent and don't give a crap who Hollywood says is cool. You see it with rock and metal, too. We have some over here that's alright and overall fun for what it is. Rock and metal over in Europe is masterpiece after masterpiece and frikken deep.

I know get you're saying, but it was written by men, 2 different men to be exact. Sometimes men also fantasize about what they would do in that situation or similar situations because it makes our blood boil just thinking about it, and we're hard wired to protect. Well, I shouldn't speak for ALL men. Some are hard wired to be a coward, as I'm sure you've noticed.

yea, that one reminds me of all the men in my family. they all live, work, play and die hard.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are doing well.

That song specifically got me into HARDY. 2nd favorite country artist after Morgan Wallen. Saw them live together last year and it was worth every single penny.

@@BIGJAKE-sq4ds Thank you, but I'm lucky compared to my mom. She lost her grandpa, little brother, and now her own uncle within the span of a year. I'm praying they can make it through this because losing that many people that quickly is more than I could imagine going through.

This is why females need to rise up in support of the 2nd amendment. It makes us equal, women and men, cause it can stop men from doing this bullsh!t.

I'm sorry that you, and countless others, had to go through that. Males have no reason at all to be cruel to females. Much less if they are hooked up in whatever situation. I hope that you are in a better, safer place now. Blessings.🇺🇸⚔️🇬🇪

@@manchu6005 What a thoughtful reply. Thank you for your kind words. Nobody has the right to be cruel to another person, especially someone who loves you. These days, humans in general aren’t very kind to one another and it’s a nice change to read something uplifting and nice on the internet. Thank you❤️. Is that an Alabama flag I spy by any chance?

I know many folks who have been through something similar. My son even got suspended for fighting when he watched a boy shove a girl. 🤷‍♀️ I can't say he was wrong. He wasn't in trouble with me.

Only two deadbeat dads.

It's not just being done to men. They have moved from men and assault to women and False claims of Munchausing by Proxy. God like mental health people acting like no harm can be future harm. Wail parents just get new spouses.

@@MisstyG that’s a lie. “Deadbeat dads” is one of the biggest lies of the last few generations. Women just have way too much power in the court systems and they use it to abuse the men they’ve come to resent, using his children as a weapon

You think that rapists, child molesters and murderers not being prosecuted, getting light sentences or being released early from prison is worse than men having to pay child and spousal support? I agree that the current family court system in most counties and states that punishes the husband/father is wrong and bad, but to say that it’s worse than being a victim of rape and murder is ridiculous.

Sounds like you like to cry a LOT

Ryan upchurch, Struggle Jennings, Adam Calhoun. There are a few they just happen to be silenced by the mainstream because a lot refuse to play by big music’s games.

@@BudderInYoMudder I’ll check them out. Thanks. Oh, if you haven’t heard Colter Wall, start with “Kate McCannon” and “The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie.”

I heard the songs randomly on a prime playlist and i was hooked
