Let me just start off by saying this IS a serious post. It's not a joke. I have read very much into the Charles Manson case just out of interest, and I have a very good handle on it and it (his) history. And although I am very aware of what was claimed to have been done under his orders, I do not think it is fair for the man to spend as much time as he has behind bars. He 1) Maybe gave indirect advice on how to help the other disturbed individuals with their problems, he never actually told anyone to 'kill' anyone, 2) the people who actually murdered miss Tait and the others got treated better, were dealt with better 3) He has been denided parole time and time again even though his involvement has never been totally proven 4) His character and mental condition has been exploited for money by the systems that hold him because they know people will always take interest in a 'disturbed monster'. He is eligible for parole again in 2011 I believe, maybe 2014. I really don't give a shit if he dies in prison or if they ever do prove his involvement or innocense, I just wanted to express the above to get it off my mind. If you have any thoughts on this please feel free to post. Thanks. Peace
He should be in a mental institution. He should not still be in jail. None of the others should have been released. I think the conspiracy charge is perfectly fair though and proven enough.
I respect your interest but I have no personal interest of my own. There are just too many variables. I would have to research for at least 10 years to come up with a good thesis statement. Shit happens. My cat is catching bugs straight out of mid-flight right now.
theirs a few old hippie chicks who were part of his family they used to hang out sometimes up here in the mojave desert at a place called bowen ranch wheres theirs a magical hot springs and a few native american spots along the mojave river--u can still see where they ground roots or some kind of food on some of the stones and they hung out naked just wearing guns and doing heroin at this time another name for the place was the burnt spoon ranch and i would ask about him and if he had powers and shit and never got a negative response just heard he was a good guitar player had alot of charisma and was a cool guy and that yeah he had powers of maniplulation and they always called him Charlie which i thought was a trip and mostly they said he was set up and didnt believe he was a killer---but these were really far out people in their 30s at the time and mostly have died off except one i still know whos about 60 now and she just says he was cool and doesnt like talking about him but in his day he was a powerful hippie sex cult leader
All I really know about it was what I read in my Dad's copy of Helter Skelter when I was a kid. I don't know how it really went down, but I don't think he'll ever get paroled.
cool to hear from you. That was interesting. The part about him being 'cool, nice guy, etc.' I've read a lot about that. I mean, that doesnt prove anything, from what I hear Ted Bundy was quite the charmer too, but still interesting. Thanks
Damnit luna. I've been thinkin about posting a Manson thread. Yeah, it really isnt fair to put someone in jail over their ability to control and influence people. Hell, id dare to say it would be more fair to put Bush in jail.
About 10 years ago some guards left their post and left the door to mansons holding area open. Unfortunately some other inmates found their way through and beat the shit out of manson. Manson was in his 60's. Not cool. He shouldn't be in that dangerous of an area. Manson is a fucking genius. Its a shame the media only displays how crazy and evil he is. He actually had some rather good ideas on the environment and how to save it exc. the song atwa by system of a down is about him: "Hey you, see me, pictures crazy All the world I've seen before me passing by I've got nothing, to gain, to lose All the world I've seen before me passing by You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore Hey you, are me, not so pretty All the world I've seen before me passing by Silent my voice, I've got no choice All the world I've seen before me passing by You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore I don't see, anymore I don't hear, anymore I don't speak, anymore I don't feel Hey you, see me, pictures crazy All the world I've seen before me passing by I've got nothing, to gain, to lose All the world I've seen before me passing by You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore You don't care about how I feel I don't feel there anymore I don't sleep, anymore I don't eat, anymore I don't live, anymore I don't feel"
Well, now i cant tell if you're trying to be clever or if you really are a challenged ten year old... Either way, that was deathly cliche.
The guy at the drive in of my KFC? They need to fix their recipe. the current one: 1 chicken 1 cup of flour 10 cups of grease is horrible. P.s im not bringing up fried chicken cause you're black, i swear. That thought occured to me halfway through talking about the chicken. Shit. I should probably stop typing now...
KFC and their damn greasy recipe! Am i doomed to walk this earth without ever tasting fried chicken that has less than a teaspoon of grease?!
