Manson, his insanity and evilness are easy to understand.

I find it much more difficult to understand his followers and how they could be convinced to commit such violent murder.

His followers were using mind altering drugs and Charley was a megalomaniacal sociopath. Not much else to it than that.

Me too

I followed it as it unfolded....early teens for me

And read Helter Skelter in 74 I think

Manson and maybe even the guys to a degree

But the delight in evil beyond comprehension the women undertook ....girls really

It shook folks to the core
