i agree marty without manson it would not have happened.....yet i still find it interesting he will spend the rest of his life in jail and never killed anyone...while many killers are walking the street....the american justice system is a scarey thing at times
If Manson were freed he would still find 19 year old girls who would follow him
everyone should have a shot at redemption
Not everyone, some crimes are just too much.
Guys like Berkowitz and Manson should never see the light of day. Guys like Bundy and Gacy deserved the death they received.
i disagree....some desire nor deserve no shot at redemption
The FBI profiler John Douglas interviewed Manson and thinks that he never intended for anyone to be murdered, that he just wanted a scary home invasion, and that Tex Watson just believed the shit he was talking and went too far. Then Manson had to pretend like that's what he wanted all along or lose his power over the group to Watson. I think it's probably crap considering the other murders that took place but always thought it was an interesting theory.
Manson says over and over "I didn't kill anyone". I'm pretty sure Adolph Hitler didn't actually kill anyone either, but he is the most evil p.o.s. that ever lived.
I doubt this latest follower of his well get paroled. The Governor will likely not grant it. He may, but not likely. Manson will die in prison.
Parole boards have been recommending her release since 2016, but California governors have been overriding their decisions based on, let's face it, political considerations. Newsom did again last year for the third time but a California Appeals Court disagreed.The vicious killers that crawled out of Spahn Ranch in the summer of 1969 at Charles Manson’s behest to kill innocent people didn’t just terrify California, but the entire country. The addled, apocalyptic death cult these murderers and their master were the faces of — a cult that embraced a pseudo-philosophy that had something to do with the Beatles song “Helter Skelter” and a race war — was terrifying precisely because it made no sense. The Manson “family” became another emblem of the strange years known as the 60s and many of its members are in prison to this day.
But Leslie Van Houten, a former member of Manson family who killed a married couple almost 50 years ago and wrote messages of revolution on the walls in their blood, may soon be on her way out. Hope for Van Houten came at the conclusion of a five-hour hearing at the California Institution for Women in Corona on Thursday, when a panel recommended parole for the 66-year-old convicted killer. She had previously been denied 19 times.
Charles Manson follower, killer Leslie Van Houten, approved for parole
Never thought this would happen.
