1970 THROWBACK: "MANSON IN COURT"

Beginning in January 1970, Manson was embraced by the underground newspapers Los Angeles Free Press and Tuesday's Child, with the latter proclaiming him "Man of the Year". In June 1970, he was the subject of a Rolling Stone cover story, "Charles Manson: The Incredible Story of the Most Dangerous Man Alive". When a Rolling Stone writer visited the Los Angeles District Attorney's office in preparing that story, he was shocked by a photograph of the bloody "Healter [sic] Skelter" that would bind Manson to popular culture. Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi pointed out the dispute in the underground press over whether Manson was "Christ returned" or "a sick symbol of our times"[where?] to his Helter Skelter co-author, Curt Gentry.
Bernardine Dohrn, a leader of the Weather Underground, reportedly said of the Tate murders: "Dig it, first they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach. Wild!" Neo-Nazi and Manson follower James Mason founded the Universal Order, a group which has influenced alt-right movements such as the neo-Nazi terrorist Atomwaffen Division. Universal Order's name and logo, a swastika between scales of justice, were remotely designed by Manson.
In an afterword composed for the 1994 edition of the non-fiction book Helter Skelter, Bugliosi quoted a BBC employee's assertion that a "neo-Manson cult" existing then in Europe was represented by, among other things, approximately 70 rock bands playing songs by Manson and "songs in support of him".

They think some members of the Manson family murdered Ronald Hughes later on because he was mysteriously found dead on a camping trip in the mountains.

Some sheriff believe he was drowned because heavy rain and no foul play was found

indeed

[@lunarose6324]

the family did kill him - another member confirmed it

[@rjallman8705]

I think Bugliosi had him killed because he was going to win . Manson said Hughes was the best they had

Those girls were wack. They weren’t woke. Their eyes had no sanity in them. It’s kind of terrifying. Manson on the other hand was sane and extremely manipulative. I think he knew exactly what he was doing. The man rly wanted the people he hated to suffer.

What was the final dialogue? “Are you same” “Same” “Thats relative” Is this what they say?

[@Yellowshirtmann]

They said insane the word was insane. And he is saying sanity is relative meaning in an insane world we live in if you are different and go against the laws are you really the one that is insane. Depends on where you live and how your actions correlate to what is perceived as normal.

[@MalibuSea]

@@Yellowshirtmann Thank you very much for responding. Appreciate it

[@Anticulation]

@@Yellowshirtmann No, that wasn't what was said whatsoever. They asked him "are you sane?" His response was "that's relative." You've done what everybody else does with Manson which is slightly bend his words then make up your own interpretation of what he said.

[@jimmorrison184]

Sane meaning he was sane. Relative he was also not sane. A belief of normal and in normal are no different

[@kamilebrahimoff3589]

"Are you sane?" was the final dialogue. Manson replied, " that's relative"

Why wasn't Manson allowed to represent himself

[@tedpeterson1156]

He was, but he was a dickhead, and they said enough is enough.

[@liamkucht]

@@tedpeterson1156 you couldnt be more vague

[@lynzvoets1227]

He was briefly allowed to represent himself but the judge decided the case was too complex and he could not in good faith allow him to continue without counsel. Prior to first granting his request, the judge requested that Charlie be examined by Joseph Ball (of the Warren Commission), who gave his recommendation stating Charlie had a very good understanding of the law and court procedure.

[@kamilebrahimoff3589]

Really? All the other defendants said Manson was the master mind behind the murders.

[@Ryan-Kako]

​@@kamilebrahimoff3589not initially l. They only started saying that after the trial. During parole hearings you have to stick to the official story. Read Susan's grand jury testimony, she never mentions Charlie ordering the murders or helter skelter. I suggest you watch the interviews with Linda's attorney gart Fleishman. He tells you that the what has come to be the official story is complete bs. He says Linda told him the real reason for the murders but due to client privilege we will never know the truth. It's oretty obvious now that Charlie didn't order the murders, helter skelter motive was a figment of bugliosis imagination a theory he invented to sell books. Manson was only guilty as accessory after the fact. He got totally railroaded. Anyone who really studies this case will come to the same conclusion

[@SadForLyf]

Was he reaaally 5'2? XD

[@mattnlogan101]
