Charles Manson dead at age 83

[Mayerling]

All I can say is he can now spend his hot times with Ian and Myra, both of whom predeceased him. Hope they like heat!

That's what my housemate told me. He can say he's "the Devil incarnate," and be crazy, but because he knows that planning how to kill several wealthy Californians in the name of a"race war" is wrong, he's still sane enough to be tried criminally.
Thanks, GUT.

I acted for a woman once who I am certain would have got off as insane, had she not tried to hide one aspect of the murder she committed, which of itself was enough to show that she knew what she had done was wrong.

Mainly because there’s a big difference (at law) between bat **** crazy and legally insane.

I just don't understand why Charlie wasn't locked in an asylum -- he seemed crazy enough for it! (I was in junior high when the murders happened, and only have a rudimentary knowledge of the case.)

It didn’t happen 83 years ago.

The 60s were just a fashion movement so of course they had to end. After January 1st 1970 the 60s were old hat.

One death we won't be mourning, but he and his followers certainly changed the tone of his era, especially in California.

I couldn't agree more.

First there was Manson, then Altamont, and the 60's just died on the vine.

Strange times indeed.
