Is Charles Manson Crazy Or Just A Good Actor?
Nine people dead. Charles Manson, as despicable of a figure as he has been portrayed, still draws reaction to his murderous mayhem to this day. Much like the proverbial car wreck, we don’t want to see the ugliness inside, but yet we crane our necks to see some blood and guts anyway. Did someone die? Did someone get maimed?
Mental illness, a failed music career, and the belief that a race war was imminent, may have targeted an unfortunate group of people who were hurled toward a head-on collision with the psychotic hippie through a series of casual events.
Read the actual trial transcripts of Linda Kasabian, star witness for the prosecution. She didn’t actually murder anyone, but she was there. Not on just one night, but she went back a second night, and left her little baby girl in the hands of who knows who? Yet, she received total immunity. According to Manson, he did not kill anyone or order anyone to be killed. However, he did have this to say:
“If I could get angry at you, I would try to kill every one of you. If that's guilt, I accept it....”
