Charles Manson, the hippie cult leader who became the hypnotic-eyed face of evil across America after orchestrating the gruesome murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles during the summer of 1969, died Sunday after nearly a half-century in prison. He was 83.

Manson died of natural causes at 8:13 p.m. Sunday at Kern County hospital, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement.

Manson died of natural causes at 8:13 p.m.

A fate he didn't deserve and his victims did.

No one would know who Charlie was either, except him and his cohorts killed some high profile people. Charlie was the face of evil for sure, but there are probably hundreds of ass hats on death row, that are worse than Charlie, and no one knows who they are.

That is so true.

[MNDude]

That is a heavy thought!

Decades too late.

did one ever try to explain Roman Polanski’s crime against the teenage girl because of this murder. Drugs , alcohol depression , trouble coping.

When I first met Charlie, I thought he was a total nut case. I thought to myself, I hope I live long enough to see him pushing up daisies.

[a little elbow grease]

What it cost to keep that worthless POS alive, would have fed a lot of hungry people. Pathetic.

Very true. Somebody should have drilled him in prison years ago.

[a little elbow grease]

Good .....now there is room for Hillary, who has orchestrated the murders of more people than this POS.......NEXT !

well said

Someone did actually light Charlie up once at Vacaville. After that, he was permanently in PC, Ad Seg for his own protection, or he would have been dead.

The group’s real target was record industry guy Terry Melcher, the owner of the house. Melcher was the manager/producer for 60’s groups like the Byrds and Paul Revere and the Raiders.

After being persuaded for several months, Melcher finally turned down Manson, who was at the time an aspiring musician. Melcher then rented out his house (obviously because he was tired of getting stalked by Manson’s group) to Polanski and Tate, therefore unknowingly setting up Sharon and her friends to be murdered.

not only are women purposely raising children without fathers— think for a moment what that mindset entails... that women don’t need men except for the sperm and the child support payments and that children don’t need fathers....

now...go to youtube and search “parental alienation.”
Dads are not walking away/shirking in droves as the media mantra goes; they are being PUSHED away by moms with the help of the legal system and government agencies.

I’m from Lost City, OK...We think different....

My wife (literally “the girl next door”) were a couple of 19 y/o kids from Ohio living in a Hollywood apt at that time - just minutes from the Tate house and the LaBianca’s home.

Even without a TV to see/hear the news, it was all everyone was talking about everywhere you went.

btw, Terry Melcher was Doris Day’s son.

Burn baby burn!!!

Thanks Phil V.

[miss marmelstein]

Never saw that picture. She pleaded for her baby’s life, poor woman. If only the house - and it was a beautiful house - had a handgun!!

[montag813]

America’s Left LOVED him. Obama’s mentors Ahers and Dorhn named organizations and even children after him.

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, you’re right about Melcher. Also Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was a friend of Manson’s - as was his mother!!! She thought he was the heart and soul of gentleness. When I was in LA in the mid-70s, there were rumors about Polanski bringing back homeless kids - who hung out on creepy Hollywood Blvd - to their house.

[GOPsterinMA]

I have mixed feelings about this.

First off - BYE, YOU F*****G S**TBAG!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY HELL!!!

The other side of the coin: That it took so long for the S**TBAG to expire is nauseating. And the fact that he and the rest of the surviving S**TBAGS weren’t zapped DECADES ago (yes, I know they lucked out via a change in CA law) is truly pathetic.

[a fool in paradise]

He had a rap sheet five pages long and shouldn’t have been out in public to begin with.
