It honestly surprises me hat he made it this long.
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".
I like your "yet", re: Bush, btw :D
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.
No loss to society. The silver lining to that terrible incident is that people rallied to show how such awful acts and the coercion of others in terrible crimes will not be tolerated.
And they did it well.
If you ask me, we have learned a lot about the nature of murder and cults through the acts of this guy.
Of course, it was the harder path, but I think that he was not just one of the maniacs. He was somewhat exceptional, and tougher to deal with. By learning about his acts, we may also learn how to prevent or avert situations like this ever happening again.
Are u sure
Why do criminals live so long? I will kill a person or people and I will live peacefully but in prison?
only the good die young
Love or hate, peace or war, all end in death. This clearly explains the vanities of life.
After death, what would we want to be remembered for? Rest in peace.
He looked horrible too, :P
informative . well shared. have good day. :)
They should have hung him instead...
He was supposed to have been executed in the early 1970s, but the Supreme Court of California reduced his sentence to life in prison; and the Supreme Court of the United States backed up that same reduction in sentence upon their temporary ban of capital punishment throughout the United States of America.
