There is a case pending right now, where the wife talked her husband into letting her zip him up in a suitcase and video taped him begging for his life as he was smothering to death. ....she is on tape saying "thats how you made me feel". She is awaiting trial in jail for almost 3 years now, because she cant get a lawyer to defend her actions.

With Trudeau in power, this line has even more significance here in Canada: perpetrators of assault are committing assault getting arrested, bailed, and arrested again, same day. One guy in Vancouver was arrested 3 times in one day, once less than an hour after being released. Innocent people should not have to live in fear like this!

Because it's so often true. Usually an abusive partner who the courts agree to grant a restraining order against is exactly the kind of person who will completely ignore, or toy around with the restraining order in order to terrify their victim, when the abused partner is also at the highest risk time - when they leave and draw a boundary. The song does make the struggles clear. That she tried to do it the lawful way, it didn't protect her and he almost ended her, so they made a plan. The only way she'd be safe, since the courts won't lock them away, and they'll plot revenge even if they get a long sentence and victim is left in fear or in hiding for the rest of her life... Goodbye Earl! At least in the US, women can have weapons to defend themselves in their own homes. Those of us in countries where we cannot have a firearm, a taser, or even pepper spray, and abusers ignore restraining orders here too...

And, you may not be that much better off. Abuse victims here in the US may have more access to weapons, but so do their abusers. And the abusers tend to choose more lethal methods.

So....., goodbye Earl is "no body, no crime" elder sister? I LOVE IT!!! 🥰

This is storytelling perfection. I remember bouncing on the trampoline to this as kid. Brilliant.

Dixie Chicks Forever!

I was working in a battered women's shelter when one of the counselors put this song on during our staff meeting. We just sat there in shock before we asked her to play it again...and again...and again...and again. Let's just say we danced a little. She did note that our organization does not condone killing or revenge on batterers. We all nodded w/ a smile. That was some 16 years ago & I still get a smile.

All the young women would have to do is watch crime movies like CSI and NCIS then they would get ideas of how to dispose of bodies.

There has been a solid list of historical and popular songs which justify men murdering women. Both men and women, for a long time, have believed the reasoning of those songs--because they are on the air, in our lives. Part of the culture. The question recently came up in a group of women singers: are there any songs about women killing "men who done women wrong"? Without a blink, we all said, " Earl." Thanks, Chicks, for giving a voice to the Other! You had the balls and the words!

Had an awesome time last week seeing The Chicks in Vancouver with my BFF and we had matching Maryann and Wanda t-shirts.

Many years ago, I was to be a witness for an abuse case involving a 4yo girl - against her father (my neighbours at the time). I was also majorly harassed and threatened by the grandfather in an attempt to intimidate me into not testifying - which worked on two of the other witnesses - a babysitter and a pre school teacher. I was soooo angry about what he had done! And having experienced my own childhood and marital trauma, the emotions ran deep. This song was my catharsis song! I felt a bit naughty but played it over and over in my car on the way to & from EVERYWHERE, absolutely belting my lungs out to it! Thank you Chicks. You guys rock! You helped me express what I struggled to put words to, and that helped me to have the strength and courage I needed at a really difficult time xx

I Finally got the courage to up and leave (with some real good counselling). Today, 35 years later, I am not that person at ALL. I am strong, caring, and confident. BUT, I STILL love this song!!!

i just started a new job where no one knows i was in an abusive relationship a few years back and today this came on the radio and it was the first time i had heard it so i started crying but was trying to hide it, and i looked at my coworker and he was crying too. we both teared up at the wore sun glasses and long blouses part and the other two guys in the truck with us didnt get it but damn dv has touched so many of us.

Always felt connected with this song but im typing this after doing an exercise in therapy where you say a quote from your abuser that has always stuck with you. I put this song on to feel catharsis and feel like I made the right choice to get away when I did. Rock on, and I'll always sing along

and thats what he gets !

Geez a lot of times I hear a song and then don't wanna look up the music video because nowadays they usually do something stupid that ruins the way I imagine the song. This is one of those times it gets it right. This video should've won an award....oh it did. Good

I'm 19 and can't believe I just heard this song for the 1st time ever when it came on the radio in the garage with my dad last night. The second it started I said "ooo this sounds good" loved the melody/singing instantly. We were in the middle of moving stuff when the chorus hit "That Earl had to die!", I immediately paused and went "😯 Oh my gosh I love this". Immediately put it on my playlist. Watched this vid about 3 times now. You know when a song is so good, that it makes you cry from how good it is? Not even just sad songs. I'm just getting choked up smiling at how good this deceptively upbeat song about getting rightful revenge is!!

I've always thought this song was so unique and important. This, Janie's Got a Gun, and Independence Day by Martina McBride. All of them explicitly share stories about domestic violence and abuse and that's such an important topic that is not sung enough about, especially considering the time periods those songs were made.
