A WOMAN held a machete to her ex-boyfriend’s face and forced him to have sex with her before urinating on his bed, police said.
Samantha Ray Mears allegedly ordered her former lover to remove his clothes and “lie down” before attacking him at his Great Falls home.
Mears, 19, has been charged with aggravated burglary and assault with a weapon — as well as several misdemeanours, according to the Great Falls Tribune.
The teenager, of Montana, reportedly broke into her ex of seven years’ house on Friday while he was away.
When he returned, she confronted him with the large knife, demanded that he take off all his clothes and ordered him to lie on his bed, the New York Post reports.
Fearing his ex’s actions, the victim complied.
When he tried to get her to stop, Mears refused and bit him on the arm, according to KFBB.
After she’d finished, she sat naked on the bed, brandishing the weapon.
At that point, the victim was able to take several photos of her, which he turned over to the police as evidence.
When an argument ensued, an enraged Mears ripped a piece of trim from the victim’s wall and deliberately urinated in his bed, according to KFBB.
Do the math on the bolded parts of the story…
Men punching random women in NYC: A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA
Men are punching random women on the streets of New York City. As usual with these kinds of diffuse and chaotic stories, there’s much that is unknown, including how often this is happening, how many people are involved, or whether it’s at all coordinated. But what we do know is already alarming. CNN reports that dozens of women have discussed being victims on social media, and formally interviewed six of them. NBC News reports there have been at least 3 arrests. CBS News reports that NYPD released images last week of a fourth man wanted for allegedly punching a woman in Union Square. Even reality TV star Bethany Frankel says she’s been victimized.
Women report being assaulted by men of different races and ages. Still, across the different stories, a couple of similarities pop out: The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty, and most of them say they were minding their own business when they were attacked. Some were on their phones or reading on tablets. Others were speaking to friends or daydreaming. Whatever they were doing, they were just living their lives, and that, it seems, is what enraged their assailants.
The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty, and most of them say they were minding their own business when they were attacked.
Whatever the scale of this problem eventually turns out to be, it’s not surprising that these stories have gone viral and captured the public’s imagination. While it rarely turns to violence, most women who spend much time walking around in public have experience with men who berate them for paying attention to something other than the man who is now, often out of nowhere, spewing invectives. In our modern era, that often manifests with men who are infuriated at women for looking at their phones. But I’m old enough to remember when I would get yelled at for reading books in public.
Whatever the excuse the angry man concocts, the impetus is always the same: The eyes of a woman are directed at someone or something that is not him, and he is indignant over it. So he will make sure she has no choice but to look at him, either by getting in her face or — in these alarming New York cases — punching her. If he cannot capture her adoring gaze, well, he will make her stare at him in fear.
These stories resonate, as well, because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man’s every whim. Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there’s an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner.

She got 20 years for that.
Should have been a politician who raped little boys. Would have gotten 13 months tops.
She should have loudly announced she was a vegan who voted for Hillary. Would have just got probation.
I thought that story sounded familiar. Machete rapes are pretty uncommon.
She’s 22 now.
I thought that photo looked familiar.
I’ve seen that pic before.
Haunting your nightmares, one might think.
“Great Falls police noted Mears seemed to be suffering from some sort of mental illness. She said the man had kidnapped her and gave her a machete to protect herself, according to police.
In April, Mears was charged with felony strangulation of a partner after another argument escalated at the victim’s home. In that case, according to court documents, Mears had grabbed his hair and hit him in the face. The man was able to get the Mears off him, “but was hesitant about physically protecting himself, as he thought he would get into legal trouble if he did.”
The argument, however, continued, and the man told police Mears began strangling him by pressing her thumbs on his windpipe.
Court documents indicate the pair had been in a relationship for approximately seven years.”

Hi Robby! Thanks for stopping by! One small correction: I don’t think you’ve ever “reported” a goddamn thing in your life. (And because I know you’re going to do this, either here or in my Twitter mentions, which you and your friends are currently stink-clouding up with your Feelings, I have a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia and I write investigative stories. Have done for years, both at Jezebel and before I got here. Thanks for asking!)
Instead, I think, as I made clear above, that you’re piggy-backing on the work of other people who are calling Erdely’s story into question without a single shred of evidence. You don’t get brownie points for saying *IF* the story is true *THEN* UVA should have called the cops. That’s what any decent human being would suggest.
But by all means, do some journalism! Follow up on those leads! Let’s see it! Can’t wait!”
Mandy got fired from the Edwards campaign after she had a meltdown over Duke Lacrosse hoax.

Context matters. On a park bench or bus it’s fine. At least probably on the bus depending on the other passengers. When you’re walking, running, or operating a vehicle, not so much. While pedestrians, cyclists, etc primarily endanger themselves they also risk causing injury or death to others by their self-absorbed negligence.
And don’t even get me started on the females who cannot drive anywhere without a phone in their fricking hands. Are they really incapable of figuring out car mode which has been on every smartphone I’ve ever owned? And what is it with that weird holding the phone horizontal thing they all do?

I can only read it as dating for seven years. Otherwise the story would be stranger and then play up that aspect.
From the Common Tater link above:
Too bad — I was thinking she’d get extra bonus crazy points if the guy was a “We said we were gonna get married on the playground then she moved away and I’d never seen her until she showed up with the machete!” scenario.
^that is how I translated it. what nonsense.
Ok, going back to the source the story was originally(?) reported in:
Great Falls police noted Mears seemed to be suffering from some sort of mental illness. She said the man had kidnapped her and gave her a machete to protect herself, according to police.
Note that the GFT says she was 19. The NYP stole the story and also reported her as being 19. The Sun (which ripped it off from the NYP) dropped the age to 17. I wonder if they were just doing “age of consent +1” to make it more scandalous.
1 dog year is all they were together
Also, why was he so frightened of her threat to push him out of the first floor window?
Now, when you say “temporary”…
The US government says that next month it can only pay about half of what low-income Americans are eligible for under a popular federal benefits program that is running out of money — a crisis that threatens to plunge millions of households into economic distress within weeks.
The announcement by the Federal Communications Commission reflects the first concrete impacts of Congress’ failure to extend the Affordable Connectivity Program, a pandemic-era benefit that provides monthly discounts on internet service to more than 23 million US households, including seniors, veterans and schoolchildren.
——-
Many ACP subscribers have told CNN that without help, they could have to choose between paying for internet and putting food on the table.
Tough choices are tough.
Which should only reinforce:
+ Don’t let the government kill the economy because some quacks push pseudo-quarantine
+ If you do, don’t let them hand out money to everyone — because it is never going to stop, regardless of how the law is written…
+ If we’re really, really lucky… maybe this small bit will die. We can dream.
Yet Another Reason I really think a hard reset to the FY2019 budget should be mandatory at this point. 2007 would be even better, obviously…. but getting all this “temporary but now baked in” stuff out would at least slow the progression over the cliff a little…. we’re using a damned JATO in the salt flats with it in.
So where exactly is that extra money that they got from normalizing the 50% spending increase during COVID? It never seems to go to, you know, government programs….

Need to know the age of the man who was raped. Could well be a youthful romance that carried over into adult life.

Or, alternately, she alleged in court that they had been together when she was 12, and he invoked the Fifth Amendment on that topic.
Middle school sweethearts.
Dating through puberty into young adulthood.

“Over the past four years, wages of nonsupervisory workers, who account for more than 80 percent of private employment, are up by about 24 percent, while consumer prices are up less, around 20 percent.”
He had to dig really far up his ass to get that number. I know NOBODY who is making 24% more than they were 4 years ago.
while consumer prices are up less, around 20 percent.”
Horseshit. Food is up 50% or more. Energy is way up. Vehicles are way up.

Fifty percent? Depending on the commodity the low end is 50%…from there up to 300%.
Standard fare with price controls dont count – milk for instance.
I can say that my raise was the smallest I received in 4 years. My company explicitly stated they were giving raises because of the Trump tax cuts. Under Biden, smallest raise in 4 years as a dollar amount and obviously percentage. They are acting like we are in a recession cutting costs right and left.
Also, 24% raise would mean jack shit. “They even admit by their own flimsy math that consumer prices are basically on par with this supposed pay bump.
I am. Closer to 50% more, TBH.
I am making that much more… but I also have 4 more years experience.

I’m surprised that when you Google definition racism they haven’t added some bullshit about systemic power being a necessary component. They have, however, added some bullshit about it being typically aimed at minorities or the marginalized and how it can be the product of institutions.

Is there anything in history that has been more trivialized by sheer repetition and frivolous comparisons than the Nazis?
While I despite Disney and sympathize with Carano for being blacklisted for her political beliefs while her co-stars got away with comparing Trump supporters to Nazis, she has no real case as I see it. Musk is just fucking with Iger and using her as a pawn.

Of course they are just trying to create a world in people’s heads that is impossible to make sense of.
All in all the training wasn’t as bad as I feared. It mostly boiled down to don’t be a jerk or a creeper and don’t touch a black woman’s hair, which I guess is a thing.

I should declare myself a victim.
Technically, redheads are more of a minority.
(unless you’re in some Celtic country)
Redheads have no souls and therefore cannot be victims.
Why would you touch anybody’s hair?
Exactly. Who would do that? I have been called a racist for even asking that question as if only a racist would not want to touch a black person’s hair. Wut? Heads they win, tails you lose. (I know, I know, euphemisms)
I have heard that trope for years yet never seen or heard anyone profess to have such a desire. Well, almost no one. I have seen people who have never seen very white skin, blonde hair or red hair desire to touch women’s hair like that. “It looks so silky” is what they said mostly. I must confess I have the same desire but I keep my hands to myself.
I have no idea, but then I’m an introverted dude. It took a lot of getting used to living in Eastern Europe where everyone kisses each other on the cheek.

“BREAKING: House votes down FISA reauthorization bill after Trump demands lawmakers ‘kill’ it
The vote included 19 Republicans and 209 Democrats.
“We’re enacting sweeping changes — 50 reforms, 56 to be exact — to the program … that will stop the abuse of politicized FBI queries and prevent another Russia hoax debacle, among many other important reforms,” Speaker Johnson said.
“No more Steele dossier, no more of the intelligence community relying on fake news reports to order a FISA order, no more collusion,” he added. “It’s critical we address these abuses because we don’t want to be able to lose section 702 of FISA. It’s a critically important piece of our intelligence and law enforcement in this country.””

Damn, we have to give credit to Democrats? What the hell are they thinking? There’s a catch, there has to be a catch, for them to do something in agreement with Trump. 8D chess or something.
I feel like I’m reading this wrong. The (D) was more overwhelmingly for getting rid of FISA? Their whole brand for the last 8 years or so has been that every Fed agency is beyond reproach and questioning them is terrorism.
They probably know that there’s already a highly classified program to replace it that’s way more far reaching and invasive and they want to help keep it hush hush. You know, for democracy.
The only thing I can think of is that they are scared of what may happen if Trump gets back into power.

I stole it and kinda accidentally kicked the basketball away.
“OH! Now YOU have to get THAT one!”
“Piss off,” and I walked away without another word.
they all kinda soaked it in and got the meaning. I meant it. they cooked w me saying such a naughty thing. it didn’t come back on me. at least not yet. if the 4th grader remembers he may tell someone. he coulda told anyone else, and I was seeing if he did, as I would certainly get in ‘trouble’ for that one.
I didn’t! and I don’t care if I DO.” I’m embarrassed that telling a kid to piss off would be so frowned on. I didn’t scream it, but I *did* say it like you would to a drunk at a bar you’re fed up with. How “bad” do you think that is to say to a kid? He was purposefully being a dick in the rain. Historically, he deserved far worse than what I gave him. I also, do not have children. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
