REACTION: FIRST TIME LISTENING TO HARDY - WAIT IN THE TRUCK - OMG

[@TJ_in_SC]

Every true southern man has a judge under the seat & every southern woman knows what wait in the truck means ! She doesn’t need to be a witness to whatever’s about to go down.

[@thequestionqueens]

So true!

[@pennybrock4858]

Being born and raised in the South I agree 100 percent

[@zach9036]

I ended up in a simular situation with my sister. He was about to meet the "judge under the seat" but my sister talked me out of it. He beat her, and she saved him from me. I told her "I will take care of it, it will never happen again. Wait here." And she said "I know you would, but I am asking you not to. Please, that is not what I want." I calmed down and she divorced him and moved in with me for a while. We have not seen or heard from him in 10+ years. I think about that day often. One day I finally broke down and asked her "why did you stop me? That day, why save him after what he did to you." She looked at me and said "It wasn't him that I was concerned about saving. He would have deserved it, but I couldn't save you without saving him in the process.". All that time I thought she was protecting him because part of her still loved him. It wasn't him she was protecting.

[@taxidermydavid]

Chicken sh*t. You should've done it anyway.

[@shane6060]

You would not have done it, its a nice story but when your mind is set up nobody can talk you out of it. Its like a person saying I am going to kill myself but waits for somebody to talk them out of it. Your not a killer and most people are not. we like to fantasize about being a badass but were are not and you are not. Your just another person speaking about what you should of done and did not do. Its nothing to be ashamed about you would not walk up to a 6 foot 5 man and pick a fight because he called your mother a whore, you would say come on mom lets leave.

[@wilsonwarner6903]

wow....i respect that.

[@lylelookingbill6606]

In country boy vernacular "Wait in the truck" translates as "I need to handle something and I don't want you to see it being done." Sometimes real men must unleash the monster inside us, we must be meaner than evil. We don't want you to see that side of us, we don't want you to fear that side of us so we tell you to ''wait in the truck" 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.

[@jb-ik8sj]

This is the best written song EVER. Kudos to Hardy.

[@shortrib71]

As a child that grew up having to see his mother in this situation, this song hits hard. I was unable to stop it for so long but eventually I could stand up to help her, and I'm still super protective of my mom to this day.

I was raped yrs ago and this video really touches me. I know what he did was against the law but I totally understand it. It's called justice for that girl. Too many rapists are never punished.

[@thequestionqueens]

This is heartbreaking to hear. I’m so sorry that you endured such a horrific, evil act.

[@3SailorMartin]

​@thequestionqueens personally I'm of the opinion that rape shouldn't have a statute of limitations. If someone's rapist isn't caught for 20 years (Lord, prevent that) then he should still be prosecuted for each and every rape he committed no matter how long ago it was. Also, with the amount of rape kits that don't get tested in time... it's not fair to the victims to fall through the cracks because the justice system doesn't have the manpower or the money to process them Speaking of fair, can someone please explain why the people accused of rape seem to have more rights than the victims? I mean, every molecule of the victim's life is put under a microscope from what they were wearing to how many drinks they had to how they conduct themselves in their private lives. The people accused don't usually get asked those types of questions because it could be "prejudicial" to their case. I say "So what? It might prove motive or create a pattern." If more people accused's were treated to the same scrutiny maybe more people would be less afraid to come forward

Listening to this, when the line comes "Justice coming from a judge under the seat", I knew someone was gonna die. The judge is a "Raging Judge .454 magnum revolver". I own one, and you can kill a full grown grizzle with that gun. If you run out of rounds, you can load 28 gauge shotgun shells into it, it's no joke.

Were it not for this Angel things would have been very different for her.

If you aren't into country anymore, keep listening to Hardy. He's creating his own genre with a blend of country and rock that is completely unique at this point. He just dropped a new album last week and while there are both straight up country and full on rock songs on it, there are several that are a cool blend. Give Mockingbird and the Crow a listen, you may like it. And also, completely off topic, you have beautiful eyes and your hair is absolutely glorious! Ngl, a little jealous over here. Lol. 😃😉

[@robwilliamson-kv9qr]

That's right! One angel slew 185,000 men in one night for king Hezakiah and the people of Judah. And would have killed more had that not been all that were there. As I see it this is how men of God are to be, warriors against evil, whatever that evil may be. The only way to defeat evil is to utterly destroy it. God gave His archangels weapons, as He, the Almighty Himself, knew that you do not defeat evil with tolerance and understanding.

You talked about PTSD in one of your recent vids. When I saw this for the first time (Ive watched it many times), my mind goes to possible trauma of this character who helped a stranger. People think trauma no longer affects you once you are out of the situation. We both know differently, don't we. I imagine that he may have seen his mother or friend go through domestic abuse and couldn't do anything about it as a young person.. but when he became a man he wasn't going to tolerate it ever again. People need to think about what they expose their children too. Just sayin'...

Shaunna, I got into a fight with 3 guys in a bar, 1 of them sexually assaulted her, and she got my attention to show me what was happening.

It's a lose-lose situation, but a reality many of us men have been faced with at times, knowing someone who has been through what she endured. He screwed up by shooting that monster in the back, though, and he didn't ask for mercy from the judge but from God . He knew he did wrong and was willing to trade his life for hers. The truth is the phrase " Wait in the Truck " has a well-known meaning, as does " a judge under the seat." Although a lot of people think that it is about a particular type of Taurus pistol...that's just not true in the least, the pistol is a " judge " and represents justice , caliber and make don't matter in this regard. Sometimes, the only choice is a bad choice, to save someone from a monster. You gotta do what you gotta do and then stand by your decision knowing the consequences.
