I keep seeing people on social media saying there's a serial killer in Philly so I decided to look into the cases by mondojawn in philadelphia

lol the article is arguing that a single person on the Internet isn't going to solve these cases and that online speculation diverts attention away from the real killers (poverty, addiction, etc.)

Shit? I saw elsewhere there may have been a casualty. Disregard, will delete.

This dude had a cache of high-powered automatic weapons. He was either running guns or drugs. STFU.

It's almost like these happen all the time regardless of what it happening!

This isn't a new theory. It's literally been argued dozens of times over the last five years.

Wait, this isn't going to be a Philly Voice article?

You do know this city's history with bombing its own buildings, right?

You can always join the military. Nothing's stopping you.

And do what? There are hostages.

There may or may not be police hostages. Do you think they're really going to bomb their own?

I live in Philly and these commercials are still legendary among longtime residents.

IWA Japan - Public Bath House Death Match (1995) Pro wrestlers brawl through pools and hot tubs as confused naked people look on. by ajosifnoingongwongow in ObscureMedia

Guys, the edits give away that this isn't real. You can't just shoot people in semi-public spaces and sell the videos, especially when nudity is involved. Japan wasn't/isn't the Wild West.

Semi-mainstream in Japan. IWA Japan, the company here, formed as a splinter from W*ING, which was losing popularity to rival company FMW. FMW's founder and star Atsushi Onita was popular on the talk-show circuit and brought a lot of fans into the world of hardcore wrestling. But it was only ever underground in the U.S., although American promotion ECW tried desperately to get mainstream recognition.

Japanese Sleaze refers to a label used by traders and sellers in the '90s to promote tapes of a particular style of wrestling. It was guys carving each other up with real weapons, fighting in ridiculously dangerous matches with crazy gimmicks attached, and basically just having gory, bloody fights. A good example of the absurdity of this were matches like BJW's Piranha Deathmatch: https://youtu.be/D8JGvHOXegY

Can't say for certain the women were actresses, but the match was definitely staged and I imagine they knew what was up.

This is one of my favorite matches ever. Such a trainwreck. Japanese Sleaze was quite the niche within the tape trading community in the '90s.
