LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charles Manson, the hippie cult leader who became the hypnotic-eyed face of evil across America after orchestrating the gruesome murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles during the summer of 1969, died Sunday after nearly a half-century in prison. He was 83.
Manson, whose name to this day is synonymous with unspeakable violence and madness, died at 8:13 p.m. of natural causes at a Kern County hospital, according to a California Department of Corrections statement.
With all the rock stars and actors passing in the past few years, I must say, this is one celebrity (which should NEVER been given such attention) I am not sad to see go away.
This piece of s**t is one reason I’m glad I’m no longer in law enforcement. If I had to deal with him the temptation to help him fall down a flight of concrete stairs might have been just too much to resist.
Funny, youngsters who had no idea who Charles Manson was tweeted condolences for Marilyn Manson LOL, his publicist had to put out a statement confirming he is in fact not dead and still touring.
