If she were black, she’d already be out years ago.

Likely teaching at Berkley.

Exactly. If she were a member of a favored racial group, she would have been released years ago.

The movie version Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Magnificent Tarantino triumph.

Best nonfiction about the crime was probably The Family by Ed Sanders. (I met the author and I have a picture of us together.)

It's just as well.

She's totally institutionalized. What's she going to do? Go out and get a job at McDonald's? Buy an iPhone?

At this point, she wouldn't be able to function out in the real world. Let her out and she's basically a female Brooks Hatlen from Shawshank.

It's really crazy how many of those white lefties involved in 70s radical violence were later celebrated with accolades, commutations, and academic tenure.

It's almost surprising that these Manson Family members spent as much time behind bars as they did. They must feel cheated.

If they’d just blown up a federal building, they could have been ghostwriting books for a president.

Charlie Manson went to a free clinic run by a doctor associated with...
MK-ULTRA.

Another person who was - to earn college money - a subject of MK-ULTRA experiments: the Unabomber.

Yep, more people need to know about the MK-ULTRA connection to Manson and Kaczynski.

I consider it a stroke of luck that I have the edition of Sander’s book with the chapter about the Process Church still included. Great book.

He concluded she was not eligible for parole because it would have had been bad for his run for president.

“Van Houten and Krenwinkel brought Rosemary LaBianca upstairs. As Rosemary pled for the life of her husband, Krenwinkel, Van Houten, and Watson stabbed her with a knife they’d found in the kitchen 41 times. Then, following instructions to do something “witchy,” Patricia Krenwinkel stabbed Leno LaBianca in the stomach with a fork. Using a rag, she soaked up his blood and then wrote a message on the wall: DEATH TO PIGS and HELTER SKELTER”.

Agree. I think Sanders’ “The Family” is more true than Bugliosi’s “Helter Skelter”.

Good research in the book.

Admittedly, I met the author at a Fugs concert.
