[@OptimusMaximusNero]

*Fun fact:* Manson was played by the same actor (Damon Herriman) in both the Tarantino film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and in the Netflix series "Mindhunter", despite both products being completely unrelated between them

[@spaceace1006]

Is that so?? I like really arcane trivia!!

[@Dogboon-]

Mindhunter is awesome. His performance is chilling.

[@war32mec]

@@Dogboon- mind hunter was actually pretty awesome and entertaining. Hope they do the next season soon!!

[@AmirA-qo3jv]

Loll no he didn’t

[@antonkovalenko364]

[@ZeoViolet]

My whole life I have known a friend's father was once a member of Manson's "family". He got smart, got clean, and left before all the murdering happened, but Dad told me that my best friend's father had said Manson was the most hypnotizing speaker he'd ever heard. I did not dare bring this fact up to the man himself until Charles Manson passed away. Only then did I ask him how he felt about Manson being dead, and he said, "I was one of his followers, the Family, for a time in my life!" I told him Dad had told me that from my earliest days, and I had always known. He was astounded, because it was such a tightly kept secret locally. What he said about Manson being dead was, more or less, "I'm glad. I spent decades feeling like I have to look over my shoulder, because I left..." In other words, he didn't have to be afraid for himself or his family any more.

[@aoifeandginny5569]

That's really interesting. Lucky he was smart enough to get out before the drug use got worse and Manson had some drug induced psychosis or paranoia.

[@ZeoViolet]

@@aoifeandginny5569 My father was supposed to never, ever tell this secret! (My dad and him were also best friends.) He...told us anyways. It didn't get any further and I know that, because nobody should have to spend the bulk of their lives looking over their shoulders. I will also never tell who, since there are people to this day who could make his life, and that of his family, very, very difficult for that association.

[@ZeoViolet]

@@TheInfiniteVoid True, and very unfortunately. But believe what you want, pal. It's like the retrograde amnesia story about my mom I've told for many, many years. I've told the story often enough out there.

[@selfiekroos1777]

This guy was just a master manipulator who managed to roam free for a few years

[@hirumbiffidum9145]

YES, family members of victims and police investigators at that time pretty much said/explained the same thing. He was just a creepy violent homicidal little bundle of sociopathic energy that had a talent for searching, finding, and manipulating other people into being deadly murderers.

[@dhelix85]

A messed up childhood, drug abuse and unchecked mental illness create that.

[@MrWolfheart111]

"This guy was just a master manipulator " Feed people a steady diet of drugs and brainwashing, then start a race war. The government learned a few things from Manson. Odd hey?

[@Googledeservestodie]

Yeah I really can't get behind the whole conspiracy thing, mostly because back then police rarely work together so if he was arrested multiple times in different places it would not shock me if they just let him go on a warning because they had no idea what kind of guy they had just arrested. Countrywide databases were in their infancy, it's just more believable that the police didn't do their diligence than for there to be a big conspiracy.

At least 2 people. But none that were involved in the 1969 ordeal.

There is speculation that he killed a few people. Donald "Shorty" Shea being one of those, as well as a shooting involving a member of the black panthers - although he had survived.

It is said that he killed shorty Shae and Gary Hinman himself but he denied it and there's no proof.

Just because you have long hair wear funny clothes and play the part doing drugs and listening to music and what not doesn’t mean you’re a hippie. Just like being a police officer doesn’t mean you’re not a criminal. Happy Intelligent Person Pursuing Infinite Enlightenment is what H-I-P-P-I-E stands for. They may fit at least one of those qualities but that doesn’t make them hippies.

[@CurlyCrowie]

I am helping my teen nephew who is doing a presentation for a school project. I didn't know much but this was the easiest nfor him to understand. We are South African, so Manson wasn't a big story here. So kid approaches his crime channel loving Aunty but I didn't know much more than the Tate story and some odd bits I had picked up here and there. I was born in 68, so I never knew much but this was a good overall view.

[@flashgordon3715]

I'm surprised there is no mention of Patty Hearst. I remember when this happened. Maybe Patricia Kernwinkle is actually Patty Hearst. I visited the ranch in the Death Valley. When I was there, the road was good enough for an AWD SUV

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

Patty Hearst wasn't involved with the Mansons. She was kidnapped by the SLA in 1974, like half a decade after the Manson murders.
