[@TheOrientalNightFish]

The thing that fascinates me about Charles Manson is that he was, by organised society's standards 'mad', but his mind was free. Shattered open perhaps, but free. Free of bullshit, free of obligation to the organisations of society, completely detached. And he spoke a lot of wisdom. He's clearly very intelligent and articulate, but he doesn't serve anybody and he is under no illusion that he must. He challenges all of society's ideas about itself. For that he is pretty iconic. That doesn't mean I can't see his failings and the destructive impact he's made on the people around him. I don't justify that. But he remains an intriguing voice with a very interesting point of view.

I get that Charles Manson is the figurehead for the murders. The charismatic ringleader. The truth is the person that the anger should be directed at is Tex Watson. He was the real murderous maniac in both the Tate and Labianca murders.

[@eliotartigue6705]

He should’ve been let out after his conspiracy to murder charge. They kept him in and didn’t allow him to appeal that because he wasn’t charged with conspiracy of murder but first degree murder which the man wasn’t even there. The system screwed him again. It opened a door to be charged with murder by telling someone to kill. Which means even though you do it? A person who told you to do it gets charged as well. However no one would ever get charged first or second degree without ever being present. They went there and they killed. Whether or not he told em? Shouldn’t make a difference. They can say they were high on drugs or whatever. They had a choice. They chose to do it all. Sure if he said it? Hold him responsible on conspiring to commit murder. But first degree and he wasn’t even there? They knew since he was raised in Forster institutions and jail he was a nobody. They made tons of money on the guy. Millions. But god forbid they allow him to write a book? 😂

Tf do you mean, kids lie all the time? Sure it's learned, but it's learned at a very very young and subtle age.

[@TEM14411]

We teach children to lie. "Don't say that, that's rude!" Children are honest until adults teach them all of the societal norms that repress truth. Some children begin to lie because they are always being corrected or punished, instead of taught. All behavior is learned behavior.

He spent more than half of his life in prison before the Tate and LaBianca murders. He said that the other inmates were his teachers. He was in prison with skilled manipulators and was even reported to have taken courses in prison based off of Dale Carnegie's lessons and book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Read that book and you'll see where Charlie learned a lot of his techniques from. Mirroring is vaguely one of the ideas talked about in that book.

He is not a wizard, he is simply a manipulative maniac who has managed to indoctrinate a lot of people into his madness. It is very clear that he ordered the murders of August 1969, which cost the lives of seven innocent people and an unborn child. I think that to act as if Charles Manson were a victim of the legal system, as if he were an innocent man, is disrespectful to the families of the victims, and to the victims themselves. He deserved to be punished for his crimes and it was more than normal and necessary that he remained in prison for the rest of his life. He was a dangerous man, and all the evil that resulted from his actions will unfortunately continue to affect the lives of the victims' loved ones for years to come.

Charlie was a creation of the Agency. So , is he really teaching someone? (Jolly West) Colston Westbrook was recruited to organize an educational tutoring system for the group. - who also worked with Manson and the Sybionese Liberation Army.

Not at all weird. He was wise. He had a criminal past, yes, but he was innocent of the charges in the Tate-LaBianca murders. He was framed by the DA Bugliosi with his insane Helter Skelter thesis, and Bugliosi himself was incontrovertibly unstable and narcissistic, as evidenced by his bizarre fixation on thinking a milkman was sleeping with his wife and going so far as to have him tracked, but nobody talks about that part. Charles was a troubled man, but he was insanely talented. He should not have died in prison. He was a political prisoner of Los Angeles county and the publishing media in order to sell books and marr the reputation of the counterculture- two birds with one stone. When you realize the facts of the case, you'll wonder how you ever believed the nonsense of Helter Skelter. Rest in power, Charlie. God bless you.

[@sandramcclain5030]

I've noticed in a lot of his many interviews, he always says "the Charles Manson you created". He says he never got to defend himself or even have one witness for his defense. Every time in these interviews as soon as Helter Skelter is mention, there is a lot of times an immediate reaction from him and most of the time this is where he gets so animate and usually goes on his rants. It's like he's saying here we go again so he plays the crazy Charlie everyone thinks he is. The Charlie he says was created. In part I do believe when he says "the Charles Manson you created" comes from what the author of Helter Skelter put forth as the truth that may not necessarily be the whole truth which in turn caused the public to believe as the gospel truth. I think that is what always angered and frustrated Charlie. Originally Tex said he "thought" Charlie wanted him to kill then later it was "Charlie said to kill". As for the girls they say they got orders but was it directly from Charlie or did Tex tell them that?? There is a big difference in what Tex thought and what Charlie actually said. They we're all high that horrible night. Charlie did speak in such bizarre over the head ways in his interviews which made believing anything he said nonexistent. I do wish he could have explained his defense in a way that we all could have understood but I don't think he knew how or that we would even understand it if he did. I'm not saying I believe he is innocent because I do not but I do think the whole truth has never been completely told and probably never will. It would have been interesting if he could have just spoken plainly instead of for a lack of a better word philosophically just to kind of get a grasp of his side of the story and what he actually disagreed with about the trial and the book. I think what frustrated both the interviewers and Charlie was because they couldn't grasp his meaning and Charlie couldn't fully grasp theirs. Charlie's normal was as he said was always surviving in any way he could and not feeling guilty about the hows , the whys, or who was hurt by his actions. It was a lifetime of that for him. Normal society cannot understand that once your conscience is seared you can't feel what the rest of the world feels or how they think about things. Charlie didn't feel guilt so in his mind he wasn't. I think this case will always be analyzed from so many perspectives because no one can make sense of the horrific evil way these murders occurred.

[@daithiocinnsealach1982]

Charlie was a bit crazy though. Not fundamentally, but I believe his experiences in life meant he never integrated into society and became whatever suited his need to survive. He became bitter and angry at the world because of his abused and neglected childhood and how society handled him. Then the 60's came along and he learned how to manipulate people. I don't think he was all that they say he was, but he was not innocent.

[@marciathehooligan9967]

You guys, c'mon he was mentally analyzed by shrinks when he was 13 years old at Boys Town. He was diagnosed with Persecution Complex-- AT 13! Not because he was in prison cause he hadn't went to prison yet. When he was FIVE, his aunt Glenda (age 9) was so afraid of the little whacko that she begged her dad to put a lock on her bedroom door. And he did.
