One more question. Charlie Manson. Think he ought to be cut loose? He is after all, essentially being held prisoner for the actions of his underlings. Do you think we ought to hold him accountable for the actions he influenced, but didn’t participate in directly?

It’s not the same thig, Joe.

Manson was a cult leader and the mastermind of a grisly crime.

We are talking about a woman who killed herself. She brought the loss of her life on herself. No one else did.

You want to hold others responsible for what she did.

Tell me, whom shall we hold responsible for the Joker’s murderous actions in the movie theater in Colorado?

Who influenced his behavior?

Where shall we start?

Shall we start with the doctor who violently spanked him upon his arrival in this world in order to initiate breathing?

Shall we start with his kintergarten classmates?

Shall we start with the doctor he sent his manifesto to?

Shall we persecute them all for his crimes?

Joe, she is responsible for taking her own life. No one else did that but her.
