Charles Manson dies

[FnG]magnolia · 20 Nov 2017 at 06:15

In 1969, Manson followers, known as the Manson family, killed seven people.

Among the victims of his killing spree was heavily pregnant Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanksi.

Four other people at her home were also brutally stabbed to death. The next day, a wealthy couple in Los Angeles were also killed by the "Manson family".

I don't imagine there'll be too many people mourning his passing.

Not sure he'll be missed.

Did actually kill anyone ?

Good riddance.

Nope. His followers did.

Messed up lives.

Probably decided to end it himself upon hearing that Tarantino was going to cast DiCaprio to play him in his latest project.

It's about time really. I know he won't be missed, but he was certainly an interesting character.

Not proved but he met a guy out in the desert one night. Manson was the only one to come back but no body found.

He certainly was interesting . Crazy as hell and highly intelligent and extremely talented , numerous books and films made about him.

Never proven and probably made up by authorities to keep him locked up . All evidence against him was from a supegrass after all

Long overdue.

Manson was convicted of first-degree murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. He had taken care to ensure the killings were carried out by people, but he ordered the murders and was present to orchestrate them when they occurred.

The guy was filled with evil, but there's no denying his skill in the art of convincing. Beggars belief that he managed to pull off what he did. I often wonder if this would be possible today (my wife's doing a psychology degree and this topic pops up regularly for obvious reasons).

The GOAT manipulator?

An evil and wildly eccentric character - it’s not surprising he became so famous.

His response to this is just... :eek:

It’s like something Satan might say.

Incredibly disturbing, yet strangely compelling. A true psychopath.

A complete quirk of fate that they weren't all executed and forgotten about years ago really.

ubersonic · 20 Nov 2017 at 09:37

Great news, he should have been killed years ago.

I mean seriously, a mass murderer is sentenced to death, then before it can be carried out the state suspends the death penalty, so instead of waiting a few months they re-sentence him to life without parole instead lol, waste of taxes.

It costs more to execute someone than to keep them locked up in the US.

Not in the seventies it didn't. Giving him what he deserved would have been much cheaper in the long run than keeping him in solitary for the next 45 years was.
