This was 11 years ago. I can't imagine what he looks like now.

Cult leader Charles Manson was denied parole Wednesday, the 11th time since 1978 that he was ordered to continue serving life sentences for a murderous rampage in Los Angeles County in 1969.
Manson, 72, did not attend or send a representative to the proceeding before the Board of Parole Hearings at Corcoran State Prison.
He previously told a prison counselor that he refuses to participate because he considers himself a "prisoner of the political system," said Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira, who attended the hearing.
The board voted to deny Manson parole for five years, the maximum allowed by law. Manson will not be eligible for release again until 2012.
Despite his age, Manson "continues to pose an unreasonable danger to others and may still bring harm to anyone he would come in contact with," the board wrote in its denial.
Manson has had 12 disciplinary violations since his last parole hearing in 2002. He refused to take advantage of rehabilitation programs, and he would not participate in a psychiatric evaluation, Sequeira said.
"He refused to cooperate, so the conclusion they drew from the reports is he still remains a danger to the public," Sequeira said in a telephone interview. "He was convicted of nine horrible murders. He has expressed no remorse or empathy for any of the victims."
Manson initially was sentenced to death for the August 1969 fatal stabbings of five people in the home of actress Sharon Tate and the murders the next day of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Prosecutors said Manson and his followers were trying to incite a race war that he believed was prophesied in the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."
He also was convicted of the earlier murder of musician Gary Hinman in his Topanga Canyon home, and the slaying of former stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea at the Spahn movie ranch in Chatsworth where Manson had his commune.
His death sentence was changed in 1977 to life in prison with the possibility of parole, the result of a 1972 ruling by the California Supreme Court that found the state's death penalty law at the time unconstitutional.
Hell bound, sooner rather than later......
Thanks for the warning...Evil, pure evil.....
Manson gets an amazing amount of mail, much of it from "fans." Many of them are taken in by Manson's apparent clowning and bizarre rants. It's all just a show. Manson is a cold, calculating psychopathic killer with no core of humanity at all. Almost all of us have some degree of conscience. He doesn't even know what that is. I've seen his criminal history and it's hard for me to even think of a crime he hasn't committed, from his childhood to the present time.
Back in the early 1980s, Manson came close to receiving the "death penalty" from another inmate, a paranoid who thought Manson was going to kill him for being a "hare krishna" devotee. He poured a can of paint thinner over Manson's head and lit him up. Somehow the bastard survived it.
I have seen the photos of the crime scene. My only reaction was that I broke down and cried. How can anyone butcher human beings like that. I saw that Abagail gown which was white became totally red. I am sicken that these evil people are roaming alive on this Earth. They should have been put to death. Thanks to the liberals {progressives}, Charles and his goons are alive while Sharon and friends are 6 feet underground. What is sicking is that today there are some youths that look up to Charlie. God I hope the new generation that follow Charlie doesn’t create the same kind of acts what the “Family” did.
My thoughts exactly...Why is he and his band of scum getting parole hearings for the 10th,12th,and 15th time...They should have been left to rot and not given parole hearings till they served 40 years...THEN WE’LL TALK ABOUT PAROLE!!!!!
Too bad Charlie just didn't stay put in Ohio where he was from.
When I see that photo of a pregnant Sharon, I am saddened to know that photo was taken 1 week prior to the murders. There are others that were taken, the film was found inside the camera they used that August. Sharon was so beautiful, there was something about Sharon. If there was a 60’s child, that would be Sharon. I don’t know why but when I hear Dionne Warwick songs, Sharon brings me to mind. Sharon murder for my part was the death of the 60’s. From my understanding, Sharon is buried with her cradling Baby Paul in her arms. May They Rest In Peace.
and they died most horrible
"i'll take all you spoiled young hippies running around playing games mess around in your bed, i'll blow your head i'll put you through a change. what you've done to others i'll do unto you."
Crap wish I had known about him when I was a Nsg student..went to Trenton Psych on rotation!
GnR covered Manson’s song “Look at Your Game, Girl” on their album of covers, “The Spaghetti Incident.”
Because of a California court ruling, Manson made no royalties on sales, which could have been around $60K had the album sold one million copies.
Manson also once wrote songs with the late Dennis Wilson, of The Beach Boys. Unsure if The Beach Boys ever recorded or performed any of them.
I hear some other bands cover one of Charles Manson song but because of Son of Sam laws in Califonria they weren’t released
Who knows where the truth lies? Dennis was crazy but not as crazy as Manson.
Was there any doubt?
‘California does something right.’
Only because he killed the actress wife of a pedophile.
IN Hollywood, thats considered ‘normal’.
You almost got it right: The scumbag should have been executed long time ago.
Bonaparte replies: I don't know about the daughters, but the parents are definitely prostituting themselves.
Please tell the class how the judges, DAs and Parole Board keeping Manson in prison are prostitutes, or did you think that you were being cute but actually came off as being a moron.
