L.A. was gripped in fear due to the murders at the Sharon Tate and LaBianca houses....all because of a little man who made people think he was the next coming.....Manson is still creepy to look at....no remorse, even now.....

I watched part of a special about him on Fox last night. He's 74 now but still looks just as creepy. One of his followers, I forget whom, is up for parole I understand.

Scary stuff. I was too little when that happened so I don't remember the actual case, but I saw him on photos and in tv reports, and yes, he looks creepy. There's something in his eyes that scares the hell out of me! I had no idea he's still alive!

I find this incredibly disturbing.

Charles Manson is now a celebrity with a Twitter page.

I noticed that his Twitter page as listed in the article is Helter Shelter. Does that mean that his followers are even dumber than we thought?

Yes, the three who are serving life terms..Tex Watson, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkle...(didn't spell any of those right) are regularly up for parole. I saw the ABC special about the women a few years ago....it showed one of their parole hearings....Sharon Tate's sister comes to every one of them to speak for the victims. Yesterday, I did read that Pat Krenwinkle is involved in the Prison Pups program (or whatever it is called) and trains puppies to be service dogs...The women seemed pretty remorseful, but that Charlie seems to be the devil himself.
