Also, if someone doesn't like your words is it acceptable to murder them? Just asking what the new rules are that you want to live by? My opinion is that regardless of how gross and disgusting your words are, nobody should be able to murder you because of them. My guess is that you have never even heard any words by him.Ava Raine, whose real name is Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson, is Dawyne Johnson's first daughter with his ex-wife Dany Garcia.
