At quando monstros como o @marlon_gladiator sairo impunes de casos de violncia como estes em plena praa So Salvador, Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro. Qual o direito que esse monstro acha que tem de espancar a prpria namorada ou qualquer outra pessoa? porque aprendeu MMA e lutador que se acha no direito de resolver tudo na porrada? Pois esses no so os ensinamentos da luta. Qual argumento ou fato que justifica isso? Nenhum. Nada justificar agresso. NADA NUNCA JUSTIFICAR MEXER COM A INTEGRIDADE, SEJA FSICA, MENTAL OU MORAL DE NENHUM SER HUMANO. Que se possa fazer justia. Nenhum #espancadordemulher passar por ns! Compartilhem essa publicao porque esse cara precisa ser preso. #mexeucomumamexeucomtodas #agressoresnaopassarao

He was accused of attacking his fiance on Dec. 14 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sandro allegedly injured Wuensches arm, choked her out in the middle of the street, and kept punching and kicking her after she woke back up.

Wuensche said she was threatened by Sandro at 6:30 p.m. local time that day. Wuensche didnt request protection in a public shelter, the report reads, but Sandro was charged under the Lei Maria da Penha, a law that protects women from domestic violence. 

According to the police report, an intoxicated Sandro allegedly broke into Wuensches home on Feb. 9 and threatened her with a knife, choking her with a pillow whenever she started crying. Sandro allegedly threatened to end her life, claiming she had ruined his career, the report reads. Per the police report, Wuensche was later saved by her mother and brother after she managed to text her.
