Charles Manson Granted Parole
Corcoran, California One of the most famous killers in the American prison system will be walking free. On Tuesday Charles Manson, who is now 79 years old, was granted parole by the California Board of Parole and authorized by California Governor Jerry Brown.
According to California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner John Peck, prison overcrowding forced the prison board to re-evaluate prisoners that are elderly or those with serious illnesses. In February a panel of federal judges ordered California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) two more years to reduce chronic prison overcrowding that has cost the state billions of dollars
The ruling, issued by three judges overseeing the states efforts to ease the overcrowding, gives California until February 2016 to achieve their goals. But, the judges said, the state has to make elderly inmates and those with serious illnesses eligible for parole immediately.
Manson, who was denied parole in April of 2012 and wasnt scheduled for another parole hearing until 2027, was re-evaluated due to his age and health and the Parole Board recommended his parole.
He is 79 years old and in poor health, said Commissioner Peck. We know its not going to be a popular decision but, considering our other options hes the least threat.
Protesters have already planned to picket the lawn outside of the prison in Corcoran but what is more surprising is the number of supporters that have come out to express joy over the news.
Its a great [expletive] day in America! said Joe Goldsmith, who camped out in from of the prison Wednesday morning decked out in Manson gear with tattoos covering his face. Manson is my idol
While parole was granted, the actual release date has not yet been set.
Obvious satire.
He’s going to have to wait for Obama to give him a pardon.
Let us hope it is not true
I guess he was in Gitmo
Closest find ...
Charles Manson associate Bruce Davis granted parole — but will he walk?

This “Empire News” site also has Obama offering to trade Bergdahl back to the Taliban (Tolly-bon to some) and Obama signing a bill waiving all student debt.
I’m 95% sure it is satire (how said that I cannot be 100% sure, but such is life in the End Times).
Satire. Another article there: http://empirenews.net/obama-apologizes-for-bergdahl-negotiations-offers-to-trade-him-back-to-taliban/
It’s a hoax.
if he converted to islam, he would be free within 24 hours
When I saw the headlines I just assumed it was a joke. After reading the article, if it is a spoof, it was well done.
I’d say satire. Check out that story on the right. Obama has changed his mind, and is going to trade Bergdahl back for Taliban terrorists.
Definitely spoof. The recent headlines are a real clue—Obama offers to trade Bergdahl back to the Taliban
If it lists ‘Jerry Brown’ as the governor of California it MUST be satire ...
Another headline from that website: Obama Apologizes For Bergdahl Negotiations; Offers To Trade Him Back To Taliban
At Daily Kos (but they are pretty whacked) ...

Yeah, RIGHT. Here’s another headline at the site:
“Obama Apologizes For Bergdahl Negotiations; Offers To Trade Him Back To Taliban”
For satire to work, it must be built around a kernel of believable ideas.
If it’s true I hope a relative of those he murdered would be waiting for him.
