I think War Machine should be executed for what he did to Christy and her friend. Barring that, he should be incarcerated for the rest of his natural life — he should die in prison, if other considerations weren’t paramount preferably while the “five bubba club” is “punishing” him in their own “special” way. To me when you kill, beat someone within an inch of death or penetratingly rape someone mental illness is no excuse. If anything, if someone is so mentally ill that they hurt someone to this extreme it is more reason to take someone out of society permanently — not less. I say that being mentally ill myself. The mental illness defense has more credibility for relatively minor crimes such as embezzlement, a simple burglary, maybe a simple assault, etc. However, penetrative rape, assault with intent and murder should not have any allowance for a mental illness/insanity defense. I know this sounds cruel but considering the extreme strength and volatility of War, I hope he attempts suicide again and succeeds at killing himself. Normally I would say let him rot in prison with nightly “five bubba club” treatments but War will fuck up prison guards and/or inmates numerous times if he is allowed to live so I hope he dies — the sooner, the better. War being tortured for years has a sort of perverse allure to it but it isn’t worth the carnage allowing him to live will inevitably cause to many innocent prison guard lives.
As for Christy, I am truly sorry you had to go through this. I hope you can now move on with your life (if that is truly possible) and I hope the rest of your life goes better for you.
