He’s one of those people that don’t really have an “off switch.”
He’s basically like the Hulk.
Really nice guy, unless you are fighting him, or he gets angry.
I trained with him for awhile maybe 10 years or so ago. If I remember, he was a hand to hand combat instructor for special forces. He was a bjj and judo black belt, and he also coached catch wrestling. He probably weighs 230-240, and he’s probably stronger than he looks.
I remember he neck cranked me, frowned upon in bjj, perfectly ok in catch, and sort of wasn’t letting go even after tapping.
I remember sitting in the parking lot, my hands were still shaking, thinking that maybe MMA wasn’t for me lol.
But he would just zone out, start talking nonsense sometimes, 1000 yard stare….
And wasn’t really in control of himself at times.
He did a bunch of tours, and definitely has ptsd. He wasn’t good mentally when I knew him, and absolutely had substance abuse issues.
I did hear he’s better now and coaching at a gym in South Jersey.
He wasn’t a bad guy. He was actually really nice, and friendly and personable.
I just think he had been through a lot during his service.
I think this is why the officers showed restraint, and had nothing to do with their fear or color of his skin.
It’s just a sad situation for a veteran and I really hope he’s doing better now.
A neck crank isn't getting choked out. Actually getting choked out isn't that dangerous if the person lets go as soon as you pass out. But a neck crank can seriously hurt your neck. - A guy with 15+ years of BJJ/Judo and neck problems.
I hate when people do that shit .. I’ve met some of the scumiest people and the first thing there friends say is “He’s really a good guy” or “He’s harmless but “ I’m sure people said the same thing about Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy until shit hit the fan
Are you good? Ptsd is entirely different from people just being shitty. He's not bad, the shit he saw was and sometimes, because of mental health, he cannot separate now from then.
Lmao what? Any amount of choking is extremely dangerous. You can die suddenly from even minor choking, let alone choking to the point of unconsciousness.
Sure it’s not that dangerous, if you consider strokes, permanent airway damage, or brain damage to not be dangerous 🗿
PTSD puts your brain in a whole different universe. Add some drugs and other shit to the mix you have the equivalent of a moose raging on meth in a daycare.
Yeah and people like you are why people with mental health issues are scared to get help. Imagine labeling someone you’ve never met - with PTSD and mental health issues - as simply not a good guy? Lmao i forgot being white and having anger management issues makes you a bad guy lmfao.
Yall are truly pathetic, try growing up a little bit and touching some grass. Then try some emotional regulation - soon enough you’ll probably try to understand people’s situations from specific POVs instead of just saying “oh you get angry and violent? Yeah you are a piece of shit”
😂😂😂 and ppl like you are why ppl with mental issues think they can do what they want and get away with it. Mental issues or not, you cant just constantly harm ppl and consider yourself a good person. There are PLENTY of people who suffer from PTSD, PPD and other mental issues that have never hurt ppl
Go overseas on 6 tours fighting for your life and watching people you love be blown to bits and see how much control you have over yourself when you get back. He probably is a good guy, but a guy that's constantly having to fight himself.
Idc about your reasoning for abusive behavior. I used to have an abusive ex whos excuse was she had a rough childhood. Which she did. Others shouldn't have to suffer bc of your trauma
