Remember when MMA fighter (and failed porn star) War Machine (born Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver) attacked and raped his exgirlfriend Christy Mack, leaving her with 18 broken bones, missing teeth and a ruptured liver? The brutal assault (or, attempted murder, as some of us like to call it) took place on August 8, 2014.
Spending a few minutes on Mack's Instagram page, it would appear that she has recovered well these past few months. Friends, family and fans raised money to cover her medicial costs. Doctors have offered their services to Mack for free as well. She plans to donate the remaining fundraiser money to a women's charity.
Meanwhile, War Machine is STILL playing the victim behind bars. Spending the holidays behind bars has caused him to realize how much he cares about the lives of others, like his grandpa's life and his pets' lives and his gym friends' lives, but not the life that he almost took from Mack. Sigh.
FULL Tweets behind the cut, but here are some tl;dr highlights from this low-life:
"I can forgive her for cheating, I hope she can forgive me for my wrongs… But I can't forgive her for this. I can't forgive the lies, the exaggerations, and the ongoing threat to my life."
"Had I not found the girl I loved in bed with another man, perhaps I'd have lost her to cancer after 40 years of marriage, like my grandpa."
"I'll be over Christy in no time at all, my grandpa will never recover."
"I dream of my pets often, my pets and the gym… Sorry that daddy is no longer there; sorry that you're short a training partner, a coach, and a student."
"All that makes me wonder about Hitler and the nazis; what's the truth? Why did America really wait so long to intervene?"

"It is the duty of the historian to restore to the past the options that it once had." -Unknown
Why do our history books lie so much, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Why is Genghis Khan remembered as nothing more than a mindless, blood thirsty, barbarian...when he was so much more? He was the first "People's Champ"; while the kingdoms and churches of the entire western civilization were burning people at the stake, keeping masses poor and uneducated, and all sorts of ridiculous shit, Genghis was doing the exact opposite. He abolished torture, allowed freedom of religion, he allowed peasants the opportunity for advancement, he held ALL Mongols accountable to the same law, he integrated all races and ethnicities, and, under Kublai, the Mongols even initiated public education for the peasants. Where is the evil barbarism? Sure, he conquered, but every kingdom conquered... What else? You know why they thought him so evil and beast like? Because, the first thing he did upon conquering a people, was kill off the royal family and the nobility. The royalty thought that they were "appointed by God", so to kill them and allow only the "inferior" peasants to live, was the worst crime imaginable. Spreading rumors about the Mongols and horrifying the masses, was big time propaganda. If they didn't spread that fear, the masses would have likely overthrown their kings and joined the Mongols, long before they came knocking at the gates. Genghis' open-minded ness was one of the main reasons he was so successful, he was like a sponge. He learned from every culture he conquered and integrated their strengths into his arsenal. Genghis may have been one of the greatest men who have ever lived, no bullshit, and instead we have him down in the books as a huge villain. If you are interested in learning more check out "Genghis Kahn and the Making of the Modern World" by Weatherford. All that makes me wonder about Hitler and the nazis; what's the truth? Why did America really wait so long to intervene? Why did Time magazine make him "Man of the Year" ? Why did Princeton freshman vote him "the greatest man alive"? While Einstein came in 2nd? I don't know what the truth is, but I believe nothing we are taught 100%. I read a book last month called "Lies My Teachers Told Me" and it exposed all sorts of bullshit inside of our high school history books. Why do the people in power lie so much? Why do they want us to believe that all great things came into existence via Europe? What does it even matter? And what really happened on 9/11? What percent of Americans believe the official story? It's all a bunch of bullshit - shit pisses me off - from Genghis to GMO's - lies, lies, lies! Fuck you! Lying brainwashing fucks! Long live The People's Champ! W.W.G.D.

For the past two days I've been waiting for tonight: store night. It's my weekly mini Christmas, now I'm sitting here with two honey buns and two packs of pop tarts in my stomach…depressed. This is what my life has come to? In the blink of an eye my awesome little life became worthless. The woman who wanted to marry me now actively tries to ruin my life; she even adds lies to an already fucked situation, and she does so without remorse. Throughout my life I may have hurt loved ones while in fits of rage, but I could never even imagine hurting them with premeditation, cold calculation, and lies. That takes a sicker person then I. I get lost in good books, in daydreams… But they always end, leaving only cinderblock walls in their place. Newtonian physics is dead, quantum physics says that solid objects aren't solid at all…Broken down to the molecule…to the atom…to the electron- it's just energy. Then I should be able to find a way to reach right through those cinderblocks, walk right through them… Maybe somewhere, some monk knows how? I've seen photos of Indian yogis levitating; maybe they know how to move through walls as well? Maybe if you took a baby, and told them that they could, maybe their mind wouldn't be held to the same constraints as ours and they'd be able to walk right through the walls. If I were a king, I'd take a group of babies and raise them with the belief that they could do all sorts of things… See what type of magic unfolds. There is magic. Google: The Coral Castle in Florida; that guy knew the magic needed to build the pyramids; how? Who else knows magic? I wish I knew some. I'm a good person, I truly am, but I've made mistakes… I wish I knew magic so that I could go back and fix those mistakes; I hope I'm strong enough to never make those same mistakes again. I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've made, I'm sorry to all the love ones I've hurt, sorry to all the loved ones I've let down... I never meant to. I dream of my pets often, my pets and the gym… Sorry that daddy is no longer there; sorry that you're short a training partner, a coach, and a student. I hope I never see any of you behind these walls; think long and hard before you act, there's no rush; don't allow any room for regret to infiltrate its way into your life.

"The good times only count while things are well; once things turn bad they only serve as specters -which torment you in the night" War Machine
Fuck a memory. I just received the most gut wrenching letter ever from my grandfather. I'm nauseous. I have been dreading the day that we would finally make contact; I've had nightmares about him. My grandma died last time I was here… He'll die this time. I'll share just one line with you: "My time is running out, and I know I will never be able to share another Christmas with you and give you a hug." Fuck... Every time I read that I muster up fresh tears. He's been the greatest grandpa that a guy could have. He's had to deal with too much loss in his life, I hate to cause him more pain. Ah... I'm so sad. None of this is right. I can forgive her for cheating, I hope she can forgive me for my wrongs… But I can't forgive her for this. I can't forgive the lies, the exaggerations, and the ongoing threat to my life. If I were only charged with what I deserve I'd be able to be out on bail… I'd be able to say goodbye to my grandfather in the way that I couldn't do so with my grandmother. I'm not a monster, nor do I deserve to be treated like one. I wish I were a monster though, I wish that I had no heart. I can't adequately describe my pain. This isn't about love, I can deal with a lil heartbreak. This isn't about fear, I can face any fear. This is something all the more horrible. I'm scared of the TV, I'm scared of the newspaper; I hate phone calls and visits, I can only find moments of peace in the little bubble of my cell… While lost in books. I fear the endings though, the endings always suck. In life there are no good endings. Had I not found the girl I loved in bed with another man, perhaps I'd have lost her to cancer after 40 years of marriage, like my grandpa. All things end, and they end fucking bad. I can't even say that I prefer his road; I'll be over Christy in no time at all, my grandpa will never recover. 40 years of happy marriage… My grandpa said it best: "Memories aren't real; you can't hold them." Fuck a memory. The key to life maybe to die a young, violent, sudden death… Save yourself from witnessing too many bad endings. Growing old is a curse; so many memories to be haunted by. Fuck a memory.
