I agree with this with the exception of Susan Atkins. The other kids were just mixed up kids who probably would have turned out okay if they hadn't gotten involved with Manson. But I think Atkins was a sociopath who would have turned out bad no matter what.

Well, Watson might have. He was a bad actor with a record before he ever met Manson.

The rest of them, I agree. Weak people who wanted to find a master - and found one.

Yeah, Watson was a creepy guy probably capable of anything. I heard he's now a born again Christian in prison. Same as "son of Sam" David Berkowitz.

I saw a picture on the link the OP posted, he has a swastika tattooed on his forehead.. so you're right, unless by some miracle he repented for his sins.

That's how things are these days. A Hollywood star has been murdered? Nuclear war with North Korea? The war will be lucky if it gets any press at all.

What - Are we talking LBJ and Nixon again?

Or are they just with Charlie?

Nowadays, Charlie is just America Today.

Or, America is Charlie today.

Or, something!

JFK! JFK!

JFK should have stayed, today!

Find the Charlie behind the scenes - and Git 'em Today!

Shake the bushes!

Git 'em! Git 'em! Git 'em!

Ike was a dirty d*ke! He killed as many innocents as he could, by orders of the Charlie.

Dresden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresde...athausturm.jpg

There's a big Charlie wagon out there!

His swastika looks incomplete.

Is it like America, or something?

But they’re pretty sure he killed a couple of Black Panthers earlier in his quest to start a race war. They just couldn’t prove it beyond a doubt.
