Linda Kasabian was from a town I once lived in, in NH.
Those were some strange times.
I see that Manson was 83. He was a 'con' MAN who took advantage of directionless imaginations to the point of madness.
In his own way, he was charismatic.

But the important question not answered is did he smoke aromatics or was he a straight burley guy? Did he favor Danish freehands as opposed to Falcon Pipes and how were his blending skills? Outside of that I hope they incinerate the little sh*t and tip his ashes down a handy and nearby sewer so that there is no shrine for the next generation of mental defectives to visit!
"Too bad he lived so long."
I don't know about that. In my view the death penalty is the easy way out, doing hard time for many years is far better punishment for folks like him.
We had multiple child murderer Ian Brady die a couple of months ago. No one would take on the responsibility of dealing with his remains. He was eventually cremated in secret and his ashes were tipped into the sea off Liverpool late at night with no ceremony.

Jay.

Like Pol Pot, he died at an advanced age in bed. The meaning of that, I can't know. Here's a thought experiment: find in your own life someone who is as completely good as Manson was evil. I think most of us will think of someone in our lives who had no public presence or fame at all. Which makes me think.
There was a guy at last years St Louis' Gateway pipe show who looked just like Manson in the sixties/seventies minus the X. It was spooky.
If you enjoy podcasts, I was turned on to the You Must Remember This Manson series podcast via Slates Political Gabfest. Nothing that I didn't already know but the narrator unpacks it in a creepy uncomfortable way that hooked me. 8O

Capital punishment was ended in California shortly after he was convicted and sentenced to San Quentin's gas chamber, but (obviously) before he ended up in it.
Had he been dealt with as he should have been---unceremoniously snuffed, and his remains liquified and poured down a sewer---think how different the world would have been in the years since.
People would say, "Charlie who?" whenever his name came up. Instead, millions of dollars was wasted on housing and medical care, countless books written about him, and virtual religions started in his name. Manson, the Rock Star Evil Icon.
Charlie, I don't spit on your grave, I shit upon it. I hope your final days were non-stop misery. :evil:
