what about the dogs who sniffed out the bodies

[magicbibledotcom]

Exactly. It's actually funny when you see this people calling his so called cult bizarre.

I'm not saying it wasn't.

But 90% of these people go to a random building every week to sing ritual songs to reinforce illogical beliefs.

Then you have people from the middle-east happily killing themselves and others in the faith of blind faith.

Point is, Manson didn't actually kill anyone. Only the people who did it should be held accountable.

atwa but kill the movie stars huh?

[mikemoair]

atwa? wtf? sav?

[sunnymoonbeam11]

There may be little to be a fan about but there are a few things to perhaps have a quiet respect for. For instance ATWA was the grass roots organization that gave way to the EPA the need for which was addressed in the attempted assasination of President Ford...his follower Sandra Good lives in his image and was responsible for the clean up of Lake Champlain that was severely polluted & he did make us aware that we need to take better care of our kids cuz there are lots of Charlies out there.

Amen !!!

[nevaseenamancry]

That dog failed.

Quote from vid: "There's nobody out here buried."

Yet they jumped up and down saying there was. Susan Atkins said there was. Are you going to believe liars?

Manson was railroaded because he was a con and an easy target.

[tamithomas]

they waited too long personaly, like the other video said..why on earth did they wait 40 years? for al lwe know the bones couldve flew or something who knows

[RiverJudePhoenix93]

Someone finally on my wave length!!!

At least there are actually people on here who know the real Charlie and not the Media Monster he's made out to be!!!

[officialmiosis]

THANK YOU. it shocks me that to this day people still hate and fear charles manson. He speaks in riddles b/c #1: those that don't understand, shouldn't. and #2: those that do understand, already had the thought: but never the right way of saying it. Everyone is so quick to cast the first stone, and the last to look into a mirror. This world of blind faith and blind hate has got to end. Realize good and evil is an illusion. Make peace with yourself and spread awareness. "No sense makes sense."
