^^^^ How is that even funny?? Who do you think he'll be topping, a tackling dummy? If you think that Christy was this guy's victim, how is it funny that he will potentially be making more victims in jail?

Well, if you could get a bunch of saps to pay your bills in exchange for sending them an autographed picture or a dirty thong that you bought at Walmart for a couple of bucks, would you?
You realize that net worth is different than cash in hand, right. Net worth is if you sold all of your assets, turned in all of your accounts (retirement, etc). There is a huge difference between net worth, liquid assets, and actual cash on hand.

I certainly would. I don't blame porn chicks (or porn guys who are now doing the same thing) for taking advantage of this gravy train. If people want to pay their bills and send them expensive gifts, then who wouldn't take it?

I didn't say she has a retirement account, I don't know if she has one or not. I am just trying to point out the difference between net worth and money that can be spent. Net worth also includes all her possessions including any houses she may own, any cars she may own. Net worth can be a very different number than cash on hand and liquid assets combined.
^ Also to sell an asset on a good occasion is one thing, to sell it when in need is another.

I'll believe her net worth is $500k right about the time I believe pigs can fly.Net worth is total assets minus total debts, all reduced to cash value, with respect to a particular moment time. Debt includes taxes owed in converting the asset/debt to cash. The balance of a 401k account can look high, but you have to pay income taxes to get the cash, and penalties if you cash out. The net worth of many assets is the proceeds from sale minus capital gains taxes and fees related to the sale. Also, that fancy house may be worth a lot, but you have to subtract the mortgage and the taxes and fees related to sale. Finally, many investments cannot be accessed at all until some time in the future: such illiquid assets have a current value of $0 even though it's customary to value them at a discount to their future value.

Bringing the conversation back around to Christy and away from Financial Planning 101. Has anyone heard if she's gotten her hearing checked?
It looks like he may face the possibility of life without parole. http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/9/3/6102259/war-machine-faces-attempted-murder-charges-life-in-prison-for-alleged He faces 32 felony charges stretching back to May 2013 and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 17th. it doesn't matter if she attacked him first, maybe he was trying to defend himself but he went too far with the beating plus cutting her hair off and then trying to rape her. He's never going to change and has had too many chances.

Charges from 2013? Sounds like they pulled up a bunch of other indictments against him to add on to this case in order to increase the likelihood of him getting more time. I think sentences like life without parole or capital punishment should only be reserved for crimes like murder, particularly if it's premeditated or without remorse. In this case, no one was killed, the victim is still alive, and I don't believe he attempted to kill her. So the possibility of life without parole for what appears to be a crime of assault and battery just comes off as draconian, and is another example of the problems within our judicial system.
Whatever happens, he will be going away for a long time. The beating plus the attempted rape should be enough. I think they can prove the premeditated murder charge, 18 fractured bones, multiple organ damage plus he texted all her friends using her cell phone cancelling an entire weeks worth of work so no one would find out. Good luck finding a jury who haven't watched the news or won't hold his criminal past, mma history and his overly sexist/racist views against him
As it would seem he entered HER house at 1:30 AM with her and her date sleeping , plus assault and battery happened twice , her buddy and then her Also maybe we have different judicial system but when a trespasser assaults someone or his hosts in his own house those in self defence are those who already were in the house, there's no way such trespasser could claim HE was in self defence , and even so once his attacker is no longer a threat rights of self preservation don't allow you to beat him almost to death

Anyone who thinks he's going to get life for smacking some chick around a little is delusional. Outside of this thread, it's little more than a "Porn star gets assaulted by her boyfriend in a domestic dispute" story. Take away the 2 words "porn star" and the fact this guy was in the UFC briefly and this is a non story.

It would still be a story because the UFC angle would instantly be jumped on by the press. There are still a lot of people who think UFC is little more than organized brawling, in spite of everything Dana White has done. A UFC fighter beating a five-foot, 100-pound woman half to death, porn star or not, would be a story.

No what i mean is these people are in the public eye so the story exploded. If he drove a bus and she worked at walmart would it be getting the same attention? How many christy macks are out there? Domestic violence cases far worse than this ( ending in death) dont get this much hype
I'm not sure why some posters seem to think she didn't receive a severe beating. If I recall rightly some of the bones around her eye socket were fractured. That's a very dangerous thing that can really mess up/destroy your vision. From what I've read, War Machine in his deluded mind thought he was going to bring an engagement ring and propose to Mack that night. When he saw she had moved on, he went ballistic. Not to cliche it up, but he seems to have been of the mind "if I can't have her, nobody else will" (or I'll destroy her looks so badly, nobody will look at her). There is a chance she was too afraid to completely break it off with War Machine knowing how violent he could be. There are two counts of attempted murder. Not sure they can prove it with the chap who was beaten, although he apparently took a bad beating. I am pretty sure (from my "outsider" view) they can make the one of attempting to murder Mack might stick.
That kind of trivializing and belittling what happened is a little bit much IMHO. Not your best post ever on ADT.

You're right and that's the point I was making, although calling them public figures might be pushing it a bit. Lots of people on this thread are riding on white horses and wearing white hats almost as if they're coming to Christy's rescue. The bottom line though is that if the words "porn star" weren't in the equation, this story would have barely registered in the police report. This would have been just another domestic violence incident, nothing more nothing less. However, the only reason this story was mentioned was because every article could use "porn star" within the first 10 words. As far as this guy facing life, Ha! As one who's lived in Vegas for years, I can speak with knowledge that the current DA/DA's Office and the criminal justice system is mediocre at best. If this even goes to trial versus plea bargain down to simple assault and he's convicted, it's be 5-7 tops with him out in 3.

^ ^ I would be amongst the first to admit the sensationalistic angle of the story is a major reason it's in the news. News unfortunately has evolved into a business of getting numbers of readers/viewers. That's how advertising rates are set. More readers = ability to charge more for advertising. That being said, I don't think we can trivialize what transpired. There has been a growing awareness that violence against women has for too long been somewhat "under the radar." Incidentally here is some coverage of the court proceedings from the major Vegas paper.
The bottom line is that such behaviour cannot be accepted ,Christy and WM are just a mean to talk about it, the bottom line is not the defence of Christy, is the defence of any other women or men such behaviour could harm. Public figures put things in the light , yet the thing continues to exist , the problem would continue , to rule out this as "another domestic abuse" almost implies it's nothing, nothing to be concerned about. A wise man once said : When pointing to the Moon the fool would look at the finger. Christy is the finger , domestic abuses are the Moon Edited by - LCF on 9/6/2014 8:47:34 AM

As long as people put up with it, it's going to happen. I could be wrong, and I'm just too lazy to look it up, but I thought it was reported that this wasn't the first time that he gave Christy a few shots. So after they first time it happened, it's only logical to say that she's okay with it and will tolerate it. If you tolerate something the first time, don't be surprised when it happens the second time.

Not at all. Most of the so called charges they've charged him with are just that, "so called" as they know the overall case will be weak and they're trying to get a conviction of any sorts. If you think for a minute that he's going to get life you're the one out of your mind. Maybe just maybe if they convicted him of every single charge, which they won't, and the Justice of the Peace not Judge sentenced him to the max for each charge, which she won't, and the charges were served consecutively, which they won't be, he would get life. They've already said they're going to work in the self defense angle. So, it'll probably play out like this. The romantic in him goes to her house to propose, to which I thought I read he still has a key, so no forceable entry there. He finds "his woman" as evident by the "Property of War Machine" tat, because if she wasn't his, why would she indicate such, in bed with another man. He gets upset at the sight of his sweetie in bed with another man and they attack him. Self defense right there. And since the other guy fled the scene and James stuck around with Christy for a while and didn't kill her, which given his fighting abilities he could have, there goes the attempted murder charge. Then take into account that the jury will not be stacked with a bunch of white hatted porn fans wanting to protect a poor sweet innocent girl next door sex worker and you'll have a not guilty verdict. They'll play it as an all American athlete type done wrong by a girl who has sex for money. Bye bye the majority of the charges. And on the off chance he does get convicted the majority of charges will get overturned on appeal due to technicalities as they repeatedly do in Clark County. Anyone that's lived in Las Vegas will tell you that there is still lots of "old wild wild west' mentality still in existence there. All things considered the defense couldn't have asked for a better location for a trial. Edited by - rosco fuji on 9/6/2014 4:02:22 PM

Well she did leave him so it appears she stopped tolerating it. I agree that there would usually be little chance of serving serious time (unfortunately, domestic abuse cases should be more forcefully prosecuted) for this but the publicity it has garnered and his past history making the case a slam dunk they may decide to really go after him in this case.
You're speaking too much sense for some of the online feminazis.

It would be a story to everyone who knew her. Just because "more" people are talking about it due to their public personas, doesn't diminish what happened. The story is just as big with a bus driver and a walmart girl, it just just "not known" by people outside of their circle.
Pretty awkward timing for her new TeamSkeet scene.

really ? since when after the Civil War a human being can be property of another one ? Also I'm really surprised not even a marriage which is a legal bond allows the husband to beat his wife , let alone to kill her , and as far as I know they weren't married Unless of course you consider a tattoo made as a joke far and above the Constitution
