Mack began a relationship with mixed martial artist War Machine (born Jonathan Koppenhaver) in 2013. She says Koppenhaver became physically abusive toward her a few months later. The relationship ended sometime before August 2014, when Mack and her then-boyfriend Corey Thomas were assaulted by Koppenhaver in her Las Vegas home. Mack sustained eighteen broken bones, a broken nose, missing teeth, a fractured rib, a ruptured liver, and a thigh bruise that made her unable to walk for a week. Mack says Koppenhaver also attempted to rape her at knifepoint, but was unable to maintain an erection. Koppenhaver was later found guilty of sexual assault and kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole after thirty-six years.
I remember that. At the time, I was dating a girl who was a bit obsessed with Christy Mack, so she was pretty shook up. Of course, I responded "Some guy called War Machine is a massive asshole? I am SHOCKED." Apparently that was not the right answer.
Combat sports athletes and being an abuser/rapist. Name a more iconic duo.
No seriously, it seems damn near every top dog in that industry has a history of, at minimum, credible rape and abuse allegations. Almost seems like a requirement.
Probably explains why the majority of them are MAGA too. Rapists love other rapists.
that is a draconian punishment for an obscene crime. i'm not saying it doesn't fit, but damn. only times i see judges give sentences beyond 20 is when the defendant goes out of their way to piss off the judge.
just committing this crime is enough to piss me off, which is reason alpha i don't have the temperament to be a judge, but the extreme sentence gives me the feeling perpetrator must have been intransigent, incorrigible, showed no recognizance or remorse, stuff like that throughout the entire trial. Had a lawyer who repeatedly (to the point it appeared intentional) ignored court rules and procedures. represented himself. sovcit bullshit. stuff like that.
He called himself "war machine" and was the exact type of loser that you imagine he is.
She broke up with him because of his violence, she started dating, the guy got in het house, best up het date and then beat her to an inch of her life. Had she not escaped, she would have been dead
Friend of mine is a friend of her and he testified in her court case against that human shit stain, so I had some more interest in it
Most people have the weird "she is a porn actress so she had it coming" thing, i just think that violence is never okay, no matter who the victim is.
A lot of people see those they interact with sexually as lesser for it, especially if they're ashamed of being attracted to such people. Sex workers in particular get it really bad because a lot of people are ashamed of using porn or paying for sex. But you see the same in people who fetishize fat folks and trans folks for example and it's a huge thing with racial fetishes too.
This is at its extreme with people engaging in violence towards such people, but a lot of folks are really uncomfortable with the idea that they may be waiting in line at a grocery store behind a prostitute or the idea that a porn star may want to get involved in the pta because they care about their child's education. Sex workers' entire existence is reframed through the lens of their job, and their job is given the moral weight of these people's discomfort with sex that they don't approve of.
(almost) Everyone watches porn, yet in my experience, the vast majority of people look down on performers
I guess it's this social status thing.
It's similar to how in all the most religious.placea people are mostly into gay and trans porn. Noooooobody watches it, but porn sites continuously have to stream that porn there, they don't know how that happens either, magic!
I need answers. What is the tcp/ip part? Like are we talking Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol?Punching oneself seems like a crazy concept to begin with, but adding the tcp/ip is very confusing. "Over tcp/ip" as in "because of it"? Or are we speaking cardinal directions - he was physically above something running tcp/ip? Or is it "over tcp/ip" as in that he broadcasted it?
A DETECTIVE investigating former mixed martial arts fighter War Machine’s grisly attack on his ex-porn star girlfriend says she was too battered after to give her account.
“I just couldn’t understand what she was saying but it was because she didn’t have teeth,” Mr Tomaino said at the trial.
Here's a long but super interesting video on the case for when you get home, made by the guys who made "What pretending to be crazy looks like", which popped up on everyone's feed during the pandemic.
On the sides is very easy. If you get an electric hair clipper at home you can buzz it down yourself as part of your morning routine, in probably less time than an average beardless guy takes to shave his face.
When you start involving the back of your head it gets trickier.

How do you put TCP/IP on a desk? Not the words or the letters, like what that actually stands for.
starik@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 149d
You have to mix it with a gel to prevent evaporation. It will last several hours like that - plenty long enough to punch yourself over it.
