for eternity...he was a true monster.

For Manson, people will be installing taller flagpoles.

I realize the death penalty is not very popular around these parts, but he was one example of someone whose life should have been extinguished long ago.

The families of the dead will be a little bit more at peace finally.

Glad that a spot in Hell finally opened up for him.

since he grew up in them. I am glad they did not execute him for that very reason. He deserved to suffer and death would be his easy way out. I was wondering why they are showing "Manson, the Prison Tapes" on the American Heroes Channel right now.

This one graces us by his now permanent absence.

I would be cool with Cerberus using that sick motherfucker as a chew toy for all eternity.

image!

know what is.

non-fiction book I have ever read. I didn't sleep for a few nights after finishing it.

died two years ago. I hope he knows that this happened... I could light a candle for him, NOT Manson.

And stop being hysterical.

Bugliosi is dead. Manson is dead. Time passes. Life goes on.

The only hysteria I see is yours.

Steven King or Dean Koontz write.

the nightmares. I still remember that dream and I usually forget dreams. They were filled with blood.

just before I woke up. I saw through the window of the White House, clearly, Donald Trump and a couple of his aides wearing gorilla suits with their gorilla-heads in their hands, like Disneyland characters taking a smoke break. It was one of those dreams that was so real that, upon waking, I wondered if I'd really seen it, haha. I usually forget dreams, too, but this one was memorable.

Have you ever kept a pen and pad near your bed and written notes on your dreams in the moments before they faded? You may be dreaming more than you think.

I also found it interesting for the legal aspects - about how Bugliosi built the case, got statements into evidence, and so forth.

Dotard Donnie goes to #1 most hated man in America.

"I've never wished anyone dead, but I have read a few obituaries with great enthusiasm."

Clarence Darrow.

I hope that the families of Manson's victims can have some measure of peace.

When the murderer of a family member died of hepatitis in a mental hospital it was just met with indifference. It was never about him, he was just another worthless drug addict. We knew him only as a pixelated figure on a security tape.

every so often retraumatized people. Grief should be a private thing and he was So notorious. So sorry for your loss. It being private does not make it any easier.

to those parole hearings. I know the Tate family always went, now they will be spared having to look that evil bastard in his ugly face.

Sharon Tate....

Do you remember who she was girlfriend of????

so chilling to think about.

His continued longevity was a movement in the shadows - that rustling sound in the dark - just out of sight but never out of mind for those of us old enough to remember.

The final page can now be turned.

Good.

I knew a woman in college who corresponded with him and even had a lock of his hair. I am sure she was not the only one drawn to him. Weird.

The people drawn to him - a bit dark.

In that case, this young lady later confided that she was born into a Vietnamese crime syndicate. I never verified that, but the blade she pulled out and brandished kind of had me believing her..

Course, that can carry its own risk.

You don't want to attract the attention of a sociopath - neither through positive nor negative reinforcement. Bad either way. Makes it a danger to avoid or engage. That's a scary thought, considering you never know until you do.

I've now creeped myself out.

Psychos in our country with him.

He was a product of his environment. Not saying that excuses him, but it bears remembering. That environment still exists and still produces killers whose body count is equal to or greater than Manson's.

and do not commit mass murder. He was a freak. That you really think I would not realize we still have conditions that help foster these monsters (just reading about Dylan Roof yesterday) is odd although not unexpected with written posts on a political site. Freak, monster, homicidal maniac.

and all the details of what happened. It just blew everyone away. Such a shocking story. I'm glad the devil is finally dead.

All others days will be jockeying to be number 2

got what he deserved.

End of story.

And blessings to every surviving family member and friend of his victims, who may very well come to then end of their own lives without a complete sense of closure, but may hopefully now have a good measure of peace and healing.

You don't get over a monster by the monster's passing. You find peace in the fact that he's now where he belongs, and has belonged since his reign of terror. But fully getting over who he was and what he did is impossible.

No more 3 hots and a cot. No more endless media coverage. No more free medical care. No more "behind bars" interviews where he tells the reporter he can "get to them," even behind bars.

No more. He went out in the most appropriate way...rotting from the inside out.

that hung over my childhood, although some of his murderous flock are still around. Ironically I had never seen Sharon Tate in anything until I finally watched "Valley of the Dolls" on cable a few years ago. I preferred Patty Duke's performance but one wonders where Tate's career would have gone had she not been a victim of a madman (although.... Polanski... ).

Too soon?

or maybe not even have one, as who would go? He has a younger half-sister but I don't think she ever knew him as she was so much younger he was already getting into jail when she was born. He's got no family that would go is my guess. Squeaky Fromme, maybe?

Nixon caused so many more deaths and so much more misery than Manson it isn't even funny.

One more reason to celebrate.

...........

in prison, in the mid-70's. My boss said he was batshit crazy.

It was such a horrible thing.

The sad thing is that if this happened today we would all be aghast for about 2 days and then it would just become another mass killing along with 800 other mass killings each year.

With his bigotry (he naturally thought his white followers would take over after they started a race war) his sense of entitlement and love of religion, he is very much the embodiment of the regime in power. May that regime soon join him in oblivion and disgrace.
