Charles Manson Dies at 83

The nicest thing I can think of to say is "good riddance".


My chief regret is it will spur a lot of Manson-related coverage for a day or two...

Yep.......every interview by news media morons (geraldo for instance) who ever interviewed Manson have already been aired this morning.
 
Daily reminder that Charles Manson never actually killed a single person.

Never tried or convicted of killing anyone, sure. I recall claims he had killed a drug dealer at some point, but I don't believe they ever found the body.

He's a fairly pathetic figure. With his upbringing (fatherless, mother was a prostitute, apparently used in break-ins as a toddler) he wasn't destined for a normal life.

I'll also point out that in terms of damage done, Charlie would be a relatively small fish today.

Doesn't make him right or a sympathetic figure, but he was largely manufactured.

Next, the musical, Manson on Broadway.
 
I hope Manson rots in Hell for eternity.

Some of you may also find this TMZ page interesting. Two Manson videos and three photo galleries (Charles Manson/Sharon Tate crime scene/Manson Family-then and now).

The problem with Manson was that he was a pied piper to the moronic flower power idiots who became his followers. he drew alot of followers. That made him dangerous. You may recall Jim Jones who talked over 900 people into suicide in Guyana. More recently there was David Koresh.
 
He was a hero to Aryans and white supremacists so I'm sure he found lots of support from them in prison to protect him. Remember his ultimate goal was to start a race war which is exactly what many white supremacists want.

The one thing I will give credit to is the governor vetoing Manson's members parole when the Prison system approved them.

Manson's idea of the race war wasn't anything like what a white supremacist would want.

The murders were supposed to be blamed on the Black Panthers. His group was supposed to record an album of songs (never happened) that would draw all of the white women from SF to join his family. The frustrated black men were supposed to take up arms, angering white men who would fight against the other white men who supported the black men. So basically, the white men would kill each other off while the family hid out in an underground city in the desert, and the black men waited patiently.

When the smoke had cleared, Charley was going to come up to the surface and lead the black men to form a new black government because he didn't consider them smart enough to do it themselves.

When he was asked once: "Are you insane?" He replied "It all depends on perspective."
 
I would have Charlie sleep in my house before the Sandy Hook killers and the Vegas killer did. Charlie said "now days everyone is crazy" and isn't he right?
 
You seem disappointed that sexual assault is not being tolerated any more. I wonder why?

Pretty idiotic attack on a fellow poster you don't know - pretty slimy too - I wonder why?

The stretch you take and extreme you jump to is perfectly in line with the point I was making - well done.

Ted Bundy, Gacey, Dahmer are probably further down the hellhole than Charlie, but he was just as dangerous.

maybe we will get lucky and Gacey buggers Charlie for all eternity and then Dahmer carves him up like a turkey daily and eats him

Apparently, Charlie was an artistic inspiration for some musicians, among them the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson, System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian, and, of course, Marilyn Manson:

"Very sad to hear the news about Charles Manson’s death. During the time I was writing the Toxicity album, Manson’s interviews and music were a big influence on me as an artist. I titled the song #ATWA after Manson’s environmental organization. My interest was in the way he articulated his thoughts and his views on society, not in the murders. The painting in this photo is one I asked my dad to paint with the Charles Manson theme, which I later used as the art for the #ScarsOnBroadway song ‘****ing’ that was released through limited vinyl. #charlesmanson#mansonfamily"
