She's just as bad as the rest of them as far as I am concerned....

I still remember the morning we found out about Sharon Tate's murder. Total shock. It was so grisly.

i'm not gonna shed a tear for her but i'm not gonna celebrate it either.

when manson dies, maybe. but these people were rendered incapable of harming anyone 40 years ago.

Were they?

[groar]

yeah, i think so. i'm not gonna argue about it though. the woman committed horrible murders. have at it.

Goes to show that some stupid things we do at an early age can affect you the rest of your life. Most kids don't think past tomorrow.

Also, it's amazing how Manson could gain control over a group of people. 40 years earlier a guy named Hitler who was just as crazy was able to take that power a long way.

Hopefully these type of evil people will not gain power again but history does repeat itself.

Didn't she originally recieve the death penalty ?

[groar]

i think manson and all the people who actually committed murders did, but then california got rid of their death penalty.

No tears from me for this parasite. It's too bad that she had all that good medical care in prison and she did not have to suffer terminal brain cancer without morphine provided at taxpayer expense. That would have been at least a close to appropriate punishment for what she did.

Did they have you join their after work orgies involving a dozen 18 to 20 year-old women like Charlie did?

No - I wasn't a "family member", just a contractor.

I hope Scotland is paying attention.
