Man bites dog




Whack
the knife

For 24-year-old Christopher Strabley, a mid-week afternoon seemed the perfect time for a bit of self-gratification. Nothing fancy: porn on the tube and off he goes.

But when Strabley’s girlfriend walked into the room, life did not imitate art. Instead of hopping aboard the Strabley Six, she allegedly went apeshit and stuck a knife in his belly.

Strabley told LaCrosse, Wisconsin, police that Rachel Ferrara began screaming at him, calling him a “fucking cheater,” and asking “how could you do this to me?”

He said Ferrara’s displeasure then turned physical; a flurry of punches, a kick in the nuts, and then, somehow not yet certain she’d made her point, Ferrara grabbed a kitchen knife, plunged it into Strabley’s abdomen and slashed his chest and arms. Strabley fled the apartment and got himself to hospital, where doctors called the police.

Rachel, who told police Strabley had been chatting online with a co-masturbator, told police she thought she had “hurt (Strabley) bad,” but offered little more detail. She was charged with felony reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
