In 1992, Peterson was released, but his time there was short-lived; just a month later, he was arrested for planning an armed robbery. He also pursued artistic endeavors behind bars: his paintings received mixed reviews from critics, which didn't prevent him from gaining wild popularity among art lovers. One day, he smeared himself with oil and, naked, began a massacre of prison guards. Only a specialized squad was able to subdue the troublemaker, who, with difficulty and through negotiations, managed to persuade him to surrender. A film, "Bronson," was made about Michael.<\/p>\n

Born in Mexico, Cardenes-Meneses was a passenger in a truck carrying eleven immigrants in 2004. The driver, intoxicated, lost control, causing the vehicle to veer into a ditch, flip over several times, and eventually fall into a river. Because the truck bed was sealed from the outside, the immigrants were unable to escape. Their torture lasted for several hours: some suffocated from lack of air, while others were drowned in the water that entered the truck bed. Meneses fled the scene without bothering to help the unfortunate immigrants. Authorities are still trying to find the perpetrator.<\/p>\n

Criminals who are still at large and terrify people with their past crimes.<\/p>\n
Joshua Blahai was a friendly and beloved preacher, distinguished from others by his somewhat unusual ideas, which he tirelessly preached to the masses. Those who remember him before he became a preacher claim that the devil himself spoke through his lips. In 1996, the First Liberian Civil War was raging. During this period, the preacher became a true tyrant, openly promoting Satan worship. Joshua served as a military commander under Rosvelt Johnson. He earned his nickname because his subordinates went into battle naked. Soldiers were issued only boots and weapons. Before battle, "General Naked Butt" would sacrifice a small child to his patron. He believed that the younger the child he shed, the more generous the devil would be to him. During interrogations, the preacher himself smiles and says that Satan forced him to do terrible things. He kidnapped young children while no one was watching, or shamelessly entered homes and killed all the adults, taking the boys to his camp. He claims his first victim was a friend of his when he was 11 years old, and after that, sacrifices occurred monthly. Now this bloodthirsty general lives a normal life with his wife and four children. He claims to have killed over 20,000 people with his unit, for which he is willing to stand trial. But the chances of a man with such a past changing are slim.<\/p>\n
