Van Hammersly? The Billiards guy!?

"....All you comedians that get up there and tell jokes about Charles Manson,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO if I was in the same room with you? Would you tell jokes about me then?"

—Charles M. Manson

I meant Linda Kasabian was given immunity for her testimony, not Leslie Van Houten. Oops, hate when that happens as no edit ability on comments here...arg...

[LamentableAngst]

The truth is that none of us knows what we'd have done if we'd been brainwashed while on LSD and a multitude of other drugs for months-to-years. I've done fairly in-depth research regarding Manson and the Hinman-Tate-LaBianca murders, and I actually believe that Leslie Van Houten at least, and potentially Susan Atkins and Tex as well, were/are not a risk to society outside of the context of Manson and his brainwashing. I don't think any of those kids would ever have killed anyone on their own.

[LamentableAngst]

In regards to the idea of Manson being an innocent who was wrongly accused by sociopathic hippie kids who murdered of their own volition - I find that completely absurd. Even Leslie Van Houten, who was given immunity in exchange for her testimony, has described the brainwashing techniques Manson used on his "Family". It's easier to distance oneself from that which makes us uncomfortable by stating "Oh, they must have had "evil" in them or they could never have committed murder.

[LamentableAngst]

Honestly, if Manson were in the same room with me and I felt compelled to mock him, I would. He doesn't frighten me. He has no power without his brainwashed hippie henchwomen. He's just a slightly built, manic, rambling sociopath. If he were a genuine tough guy, he would have killed people with his own hands rather than manipulating vulnerable and naive youth via drugs, isolation, and other programming techniques.

Now in regards to this clip, I think it's rather funny and clever.

@BC23 This is not comedy it's BULLSHIT. If you want comedy watch the Marx bros or Monty python

[BC23]

@thebeefdancer Youre an idiot who doesnt understand comedy. It is YOU who should be deleted.
