The Killer Prophet

In 1970 a crime was committed that sent shock waves through society. People were just shocked it was a weird mix of account messages and impassive brutality, they had been executed and then the residence was set on fire. This had Californians fearing for their lives oh yeah the doors were locked and the weapons were loaded, but what had pushed killer to slaughter, was he destined for murder? He was going to go door to door like the Avon lady, ding-dong IT'S JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER! And you're dead.

In the early 1960s Santa Cruz was just an ordinary Californian beach town. Santa Cruz was a model of conservatism a tourist city dominated by the boardwalk and the beach. It was a very friendly slow-paced community to live in. It was pretty much a retirement town there was no University of California there, no UC campus there at the time, it was just a very quaint small community it felt very safe and very pleasant. It was this peaceful community that the Ohta family decided to make home tragically for them it wouldn't remain peaceful for long.

Let's talk about little Johnny here. He was born in Ohio on 26 January 1946. Following a car accident in the late 1960s he became a religious fanatic who spent days with his Bible and believed the voice of God was telling him to commit homicides.This here is one of the most common trait seen in serial killers. It's not necessary that every serial killer is a psychopath or a sociopath nor is it the other way round (damn movies). Ok let's go through some biology, alright? ( ok i lied, it's neuroscience). The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls important cognitive skills in humans, such as emotional expression, problem solving, memory, language, judgment, and sexual behaviors. It is, in essence, the “control panel” of our personality and our ability to communicate.

An individual’s abilities to make good choices and recognize consequences are often impaired. Memory impairment is another common effect associated with frontal lobe injuries. Damage to the frontal lobe can cause increased irritability, which may include a change in mood and an inability to regulate behavior.Particularly, an injury of the frontal lobe could lead to deficits in executive function, such as anticipation, goal selection, planning, initiation, sequencing, monitoring (detecting errors), and self-correction (initiating novel responses). If you didn't understand it( most likely you didn't read it), it simply means that a knock to the head might transform you into something clearly crazy. What's even more funny is that the frontal lobe is the most susceptible to injuries. So yeah wear your helmet if you don't want to be JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER!.

Now let's get back to Johnny here. On October 19, 1970, Frazier entered the home of ophthalmologist Victor Ohta. He found Ohta and his wife, two sons, and secretary there. In a delusional fit, believing he was an agent of God, he bound their hands with colorful scarves, shot the five of them dead and put their bodies in the home's swimming pool. After the killings, Frazier typed a note on a typewriter owned by Ohta, which he left on the window of Ohta's Rolls Royce (how convenient). What the not said was actually quite cringe ( I don't dismiss the fear caused by this incident, I just have a very twisted sense of humour), well what it said:

Halloween, 1970. Today World War III will begin, as brought to you by the People of the Free Universe. From this day forward, anyone and/or everyone or company of persons who misuses the natural environment or destroys same will suffer the penalty of death by the People of the Free Universe. I and my comrades from this day forth will fight until death or freedom against anyone who does not support natural life on this planet. Materialism must die, or Mankind will stop. KNIGHT OF WANDS KNIGHT OF CUPS KNIGHT OF PENTACLES KNIGHT OF SWORDS

The neighbours did report to the police that they saw Frazier patrolling the woods in the neighborhood armed with a gun. There were also reports of Frazier being seen driving the Ohta's missing station wagon. Four days later, he was arrested while sleeping in his cabin.

John was an avid user of acid (for the boy scouts who don't know what that is it is Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, it's a hallucinogenic drug, Don't do drugs kids, I mean you can do it if you want to, everybody gets high). Ok back to this acid-dropping hippie, On October 19, 1970, Johnny set out to settle a score with an eye doctor who hated hippies. After entering the home of the doctor, he found the wife and shot her with her own gun. He then proceeded to bound and kill everyone as they arrived. By the time he was done, he had killed the doctor, his wife, his secretary and his two children. This doctor was Dr Ohta.

Ok now we are getting to the funny bits. When Frazier started using LSD he had an apparent message from God. It seems God's little message was for him to save the earth. Soon after he quit his job, telling his boss that he refused to "contribute to the Death cycle of the planet." He also left his wife and moved into a hippie commune, where he scared the fuck out of his co-hippies. ( what the actual hell, everytime I did acid, I realised what a piece of actual toxic little shit I was in my highschool no wonder she didn't give me a chance, and I also have hallucinations where I'm singing with Freddy Mercury and the Queens. That concert was amazing, you guys should have seen it, Oh wait.... Ok I see it.). The funny bits ain't over yet until you see how he came to court for the trial.

Clearly the bald guys smokes. Don't be appalled by this he had his reason or reasons, I don't know he was acid dropping hippie. The reason he did this was to show the two sides of the hippie culture.( I didn't get it either, don't worry, maybe it's the harmonious relationship the hairy and the bald hippies should have. Yup that's what he meant, I'm going with that.) But there was a catch, He got the death sentence before his hair could grow back in. He didn't die though, well why you ask? because the death penalty was abolished in California in 1972, but don't worry John hung himself in his cell. My impression was that he was sort of horrified that he was capable of doing something like this, but at the same time this was a burden that was placed on him by God. God did this, my man Johnny was innocent. Et tu God.

So if you live in a neighbourhood with hairy, substance abusing, religious people( not me I'm not religious), and hear that ding dong on your door, you know who it is.IT'S JOHN LINLEY FRAZIER!

Stay home, Stay safe now people.
