Prosecutors during his trial alleged Johnson had “fun” when he and his friends carjacked the couple and drove them around town demanding money, credit cards and ATM access. 

Then, they parked near a patch of thick woods and forced Ngo to listen as Johnson raped Aparece in the backseat.  Afterward, Johnson shot Ngo in the side of the head execution-style before slaughtering Aparece with a shot to the top of the head.

useless martial arts

By Zachary Gaskell

Martial arts exist in virtually every culture on the the planet. The history of martial arts began with a distinct focus on the former rather than the latter.

13 Of The Best Opening And Closing Monologues From The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone is one of the greatest tv shows of all time and most of its genius can be directly credited to Rod Serling. Not only did he write 92 of the 156 epsiodes, but he also provided the opening and closing narration, which acts as the perfect frame for each story, something that puts everything we see in the episode into perspective.

In fact, he claimed to have created the elixir of life which he called Dippel’s Oil – bones, blood, and other bodily fluids distilled from animals. It did not work, because he is not still alive. In fact, the oil was so bad that it was used during WW2 to poison wells (seriously). You can probably guess where his interest in artificial life and his prophetic birthplace are taking this guy.
