:eek:

Ooof. That’s a helluva thing.

36 years at 35 years old is a helluva long time. It seems likely that she will not have to worry about the day he gets out.

I had hardly heard of this sick-o until this evening when I read an article in my Google news feed. Jesus what a fucking sick animal this is. Sadly spousal abuse is widespread and often lethal.

Aye; this was big news here in Las Vegas, as you can imagine. We were given a very clear picture of who all the people involved are (although Miss Mack is fairly well-known locally) and at no time did Mr. Koppenhaver come across as anything other than a vicious self-obsessed jackass.

Hell, just look at what he said at his sentencing:

> [@Jon "Convicted Rapist" Koppenhaver](#):
>
> Not a day goes by that I don’t seriously regret the things I did.

> [@Jon "Convicted Rapist" Koppenhaver](#):
>
> I should have killed myself. There is no reason right now that I should be in the dirt right now laying next to Aaron Hernandez.

> [@Jon "Convicted Rapist" Koppenhaver](#):
>
> I hate this happened. I hate I hurt the woman I love. I hate I hurt my family … teammates. I hate I hurt my career.

When this guy warms up to sing, it’s just ♫ “Me Me Me Me Meeeeeee…” ♫

And I love how he equates himself with Aaron Hernandez: “In my mind, I’m a superstar who lost it all, just like…”

What a worthless douche.

Sometimes, just sometimes, after all the bad stuff we see and read in the news, something GOOD happens. I can but smile at the verdict and the sentence. It has made my afternoon a happier one.

Well done US judicial system. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.
