Hi, this is all wrong. Glad he's gone, but Manson didn't kill anyone, and Roman Polanski is not only still alive, but still making movies, and still a fugitive from the US... Here: source 1 and source 2.
This is true, there is a major factual error. The Manson Family didn't kill Polanski. He wasn't home. He was in Polanski or um, Poland, or Europe anyway. And Manson might not have killed anybody. The book Helter Skelter was written by the prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi who nailed him on CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence only. Manson was supposedly the mastermind of the murders.
Bugliosi, to his credit and in his advancing age, also wrote the circumstantial case against George Bush for War Crimes for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. That one didn't stick....yet.
YES! "Murder by proxy". Manson was so scary to me as kid because he didn't kill, rather, was able to manipulate others into doing it.
That's great info on Bugliosi! I haven't read the book but I'll definitely have to check it out. The Helter Skelter scenario and what really happened in the Manson Family is so much more terrifying and repulsive than "he's a serial killer".
Yep! I view the guy similarly to Satan. Suggests that you do the thing you're already awful enough to do, and then giggles when you blame him for your own choices. Yet, somehow an object of fear ... which is nuts. Dude was weird as hell and people elevated him to some whacked out godly status, but he really didn't actually do a damn thing I know of.
And yeah, Polanski is still out there diddling kids. Shame he didn't get killed really. Not that I wish death on anyone, just that it would have been a good time for ironic justice.

I like your "yet", re: Bush, btw :D
