She should die in prison. She worked hard for it, she deserves it, now let her experience it.

I read the family as a teen and it skeered the F out of me.

Clockwork orange? well that was just fiction.

The Family was chilling

She was ordered to prison to await her death, and rightly so.

Let that be her fate.

She’s been sentenced to life in prison, yes?

Then she gets out when her life is over.

Yes, and how much thought was given to Sharon Tate’s family and the other victims of these sick murderous people. Now is the time to think about them and not the criminals.

But her sentence is LIFE.

When the life is done, the sentence is over.

When she reaches the hospice stage, life ain’t done.

Let her have as much mercy as she showed to Sharon Tate and her baby. I say let her die in prison, where she should stay until she goes to Hell.

From the article:

"...one more point about Christian forgiveness ... We believe in redemption..., but redemption does not exempt people from the temporal consequences of their actions. Merely going to the confessional, for instance, does not mean a murderer should not receive their just punishment. Christians hope and pray for the redemption of all souls, including that of Atkins (and Manson, for that matter) — but that essentially remains between Atkins and God and has little to do with the question of release."

in the rush to condemn & hold mercy from the guilty, is it possible we have fallen short in our own willingness to be merciful at all ??

miss atkins is dying of brain cancer. if she hasn’t sought & received the forgiveness & mercy of GOD in Christ for her crimes or character. her life imprisonment is only a sad beginning to a terrifying eternal destiny.

perhaps we should hold off on our armchair meting out of punishment & pray that she won’t be another statistic swallowed up in hell.

Life in prison should mean death in prison.

One of my in-laws was related by marriage to the Tate family. It had devastating long-term effects on Sharon’s parents and siblings. There is no way on earth that woman should be let out of prison.

If Sharon Tate says it’s okay, I’m cool with it.
