MMA Fighter Who Brutally Beat His Ex: Men’s Oppression Is ‘Worse Than Slavery’

[La Lioness Priyanka]

MMA fighter War Machine, originally known as Jon Koppenhaver, was arrested on Saturday for brutally assaulting porn actress Christy Mack, his ex-girlfriend, and reality TV personality Corey Thomas.

The attack happened on Friday morning, when War Machine broke into Mack’s house and found her sleeping in bed with Thomas. After punching and choking Thomas and throwing him out of the house, War Machine then tried to rape Mack (unsuccessfully) and continued to beat her for several hours before she finally got the chance to escape while he left the room in search of a knife.

War Machine has had a distorted view of reality for quite some time. In the past, he’s complained that American men are suffering oppression far worse than African slaves or Holocaust victims.

1. sounds like way too much steroids.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. or way too much misogyny. even with steroids anger can be directed generally or specifically

and his anger is way specific

[hobbit709]

3. too many steroids and you're no longer capable of thinking rationally about anything.

At which point anything he already has an issue with is way past the tipping point.

[chervilant]

28. He's a batterer, by definition.

Unarguably, misogyny is the framework within which most batterers inflict their anger.

[Drahthaardogs]

36. Roid rage is mostly bullshit

Mytholgical side.

[AngryAmish]

6. How about steroids, misogyny and brain damage?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. that's probably exactly the combo. nt

[hifiguy]

22. +1

[DefenseLawyer]

4. I feel his pain

I'm a white, ancestrally protestant male and let me tell you, it has been a constant burden that was almost impossible to overcome. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.

[petronius]

13. Hmm... (looks up 'expert sarcasm' in the dictionary)... Yep!

There's your picture, right there!

[mythology]

20. Hopefully we can finally get you a statue

But it's hard to find a design that is appropriately awe inspiring for your unprecendented heroism.

But for now, I hope this will do:

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

[arcane1]

5. Sometimes, the stupid really does burn.

This is one of those times. Ouch!

[joeybee12]

8. Someone posted something that he tweeted once, "Real Men rape Women"

Can't find out if that's true...that he did tweet that...what a reall phucked up asshole.

[redqueen]

17. Reported here:

Koppenhaver himself is a fan of rape jokes — specifically rape jokes targeting the woman now accusing him of rape. Last year he tweeted, “Just raped @ChristyMack She tried to make me wait until ‘after errands’ As if! =p.” He followed up with, “Real men rape. (Their GF’s and wives, not strangers, don’t get your panties in a bunch.)” Oh, just their girlfriends and wives! That’s so much better.

[joeybee12]

18. What a piece of work...thanks.

[AverageJoe90]

34. That makes him even worse of a person, then. So yeah, I agree. nt

[951-Riverside]

9. Isnt he an ex-cop? n/t

[Lurks Often]

10. He can expound on his views in prison

Where I suspect he's going to find out the hard way he isn't the toughest or strongest person there.

Since this will be his second felony conviction in CA, I expect he'll be there for quite some time.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. he was already in prison, where he kept a homophobic/misogynistic blog. nt

[Lurks Often]

16. He gets to go back again this time for quite a bit longer.

Second felony conviction in CA and third assault conviction overall (misdemeanor conviction in Las Vegas) and given the extent of injuries to his former girlfriend, I expect this to be an aggravated assault conviction, which means even more time and extra time on top of that for severity of the injuries.

They may even get him under the 3 Strikes law since he assaulted 2 people that night, not one. That should get him at least 25 years if the 3 strikes law is applied

[LeftyMom]

11. That's funny. Last week some DUers were swearing he wasn't an MRA.

I'm sure they'll all be apologizing on this thread.

[Iggo]

12. You're telling me a guy named War Machine has a distorted view of reality?

Well, by golly, I accept that premise.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. Yeah ladies! When are you going to stop breaking up our families by selling us like cattle?

Making us work for nothing, whiping/branding, torturing, raping, etc, etc, etc? WHO'S WITH ME GUYS?!!!!!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. ..

[hifiguy]

23. Moo.

[riqster]

19. Help, help, I'm being repressed!

I'm a member of the gender, ethnic group and religious type that rules the country (and much of the world); have a good job; own guns; post freely on political matters; am a community activist; and have never, EVER had the government try to take away Bit One of my rights.

Oh, but I'm being oppressed! Yeah, that's the ticket! Those evil womenfolk are responsible for...something bad...yeah, Obama...oppression....shit, I need a beer to wash down my roids. I'll be back.

[A HERETIC I AM]

35. Hey...ummmm...Rigster?

There's some lovely filth down here.

[riqster]

38. It's Dennis, actually.

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. LOL....Well, I AM King. n/t

[riqster]

42. 'Ow'd you get that, then?

[A HERETIC I AM]

44. By exploiting the workers, of course!

There was this small bit involving a moistened bint and a scimitar, but I won't go into that.

[SunSeeker]

24. Unfuckingbelievable. nt

[LittleBlue]

25. "War Machine"- what a piece of sh*t

I hope when he goes to prison, the inmates show him how idiotic his name is. They aren't MMA fighters.

[chrisa]

26. "Alpha male" lmao - Who believes this shit?

All I can picture is a bunch of dumbass meatheads who think that bring able to deadlift 300 lbs makes you the pack leader, or something like that. Every time I asked these corny MRA-types what a human "alpha male" is, it's always a dumb answer like "someone who is confident."

[redqueen]

29. PUAs are all about it.

They are obsessed with their classification as either an 'alpha' or a 'beta', because they're all about their dicks.

[Starry Messenger]

27. But we've been told there are no MRAs.

Where are all the helpful posters to tell us that it is really women who beat the crap out of men?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. i know, right. always, missing in action. nt

[Glassunion]

31. Finally! Someone to stand up and lead the charge for Men's Rights.

Because there is alimony, and child support... and stuff...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. and emasculation of alpha males and women triggering men to beat them.

[AverageJoe90]

33. Honestly, shut the goddamn fuck up, Jonny boy.

Unfuckingbelieveable. Yeah, some men do have pretty rough lives, and there have been a few who have been sexually abused, or falsely accused of things(yes, even rape), etc.

But worse than the Holocaust? Are you kidding me? There were about 15 million people who were tortured, starved, shot, and gassed, etc., just because they weren't so-called "Aryans". 15 fucking million, Jonny boy. The slave trade wasn't a cakewalk either.

There may be individual men who suffer, sometimes, but there has *never* been a time where men were oppressed by high society simply because of their gender. Ever.

Honestly, it's stuff like this that helped convince me to become a feminist.

[riqster]

39. Well said!

Anybody who really thinks that men are oppressed is not really thinking.

[chervilant]

37. Crickets...

Do I hear crickets?

(Still waiting for the pro-porn, anti-feminist types to explain how oppressed and misunderstood is this pathetic batterer...)

[Orrex]

41. Why would you be waiting for that?

I don't believe that I've seen anyone saying attempted murder or domestic violence are ok. Not even the dreaded "pro-porn, anti-feminist types."

Who are you calling out, exactly?

[chrisa]

43. Nice guys are all picked on! Friend zone!

Etc. Etc.

[Initech]

45. I'm guessing that he scored really low on the South Park TMI index.

[wheniwasincongress]

46. Was Thomas blacked out when thrown out of the house?

"After punching and choking Thomas and throwing him out of the house, War Machine then tried to rape Mack (unsuccessfully) and continued to beat her for several hours before she finally got the chance to escape while he left the room in search of a knife."

[hifiguy]

47. This meathead is gonna have a nice long vacation

in the happy ol' pokey to work on his filoso, er, phhinoso, err, ideerz. About 20 well-deserved years, I'd bet. This is Palin-level stoopid.
