On November 19th, 2017, the infamous Manson family cult leader Charles Manson died at the age of 83. While discussing the Manson Family provokes flashbacks to the gruesome murders in August 1969 by Manson’s followers, very few people examine the backstory which leads to these types of tragedies. You cannot understand Charles Manson as an adult without understanding what happened to him in his childhood. What is the truth about Charles Manson?
“He wasn’t the greatest kid - psychopaths never are.”

“Charles Manson and the Weather Underground” I might have found it there.
That article doesn’t say that he belonged to Weather Underground it says he inspired Bernardine Dohrn.
And hating will put YOU in hell.
I love Christians but at moments like these I am glad to be a Jew. We are allowed and expected to hate evil. And commanded to avoid it and fight it where possible.
No, I didn't know he was dubbed, but I wondered why Lean chose an American. I can't mimic that Brit accent worth a darn. It doesn't spoil it for me. Sarah I thought was cast too old for Jones, but I looked up their birth dates, and they were very close, both born in 1941. I went back and looked at a few clips. They don't have the full uninterrupted pub passion scene any more, copyright probably. At this point, I guess I wouldn't want anybody else for the part. I didn't like Julie Christie cast as Lara either; but now nobody else would seem to fit. And a gap-toothed, brown-eyed Egyptian for Dr. Zhivago? What was Lean thinking? But he did a good job, and again I can't imagine anybody I'd prefer. Even the remake was beautiful but not the same.
Now that part of windswept coastal Ireland has no trees that I could tell. They moved part of the filming to South Africa. I don't know which scenes were done there but would like to.
Finally, I knew he had been married to Susan Strasberg, think I saw her in Picnic. Thought there was one other but it's not important. Maybe they are making more of his relationship with Sharon Tate by saying he became depressed after her murder and dropped out of filming.
I then read he lived in a place of the CA coast with his SEVEN children. Wonder how he accumulated enough money to live like that. That was a shocker. He and his brother were sent to an orphanage in TN after his grocer father sent his mother to a mental institution for pulling a gun on him. But maybe he inherited a depression gene. Who knows? Died in 2014 at 72 from complications from gall bladder cancer. Wish him peace in a better world.
Since I have expressed no hate, your comment makes no sense.
Read your post 12; it wasn’t about you hating. You were telling another freeper that his or her hate would send them to hell.
My point was that it is not hate to believe that a person should be executed. That is a just punishment for murder, and it is within the scope of legitimate human authority.
Wishing or hoping that someone is punished for his crimes in Hell is an entirely different matter. That is hate, pure and simple, because going to Hell is the absolute, definitive, unmixed, permanent failure of a human being.
It is, btw, a sentiment that ALWAYS is expressed on FR when some heinous criminal dies.
And the kids know it it’s why they act like animals.
