"The Terminator Crimes committed: Mass murder, Mass property damage, Corruption, Terrorism, War crimes, Stalking, etc. Note: He is a unstoppable killing machine, he can’t be stopped or reasoned with. If you’re lucky could possibly terminate him. But let’s not kid ourselves. He will terminate you instead. "
" In the Year of Darkness, 2029, the rulers of this planet devised the ultimate plan. They would reshape the Future by changing the Past. The plan required something that felt no pity. No pain.
