They shoulda shorn her legs too.

[PGalt]

I know, hard to believe, but I guess cancer can be pretty devastating.

One down, three to go.

"Sharon was the last to die," Susan said with a laugh as she described how Sharon was begging her, " Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to have my baby. I want to have my baby."

Susan said she just looked at Sharon straight in the eye and said, "Look, bitch, I don't care about you. I don't care if you're going to have a baby. You had better be ready. You're going to die and I don't feel anything about it...In a few minutes I killed her."

Susan said she saw that there was Sharon's blood on her hand and she tasted it. "Wow, what a trip! To taste death, and yet give life."

She should have been executed shortly after the trial.

[ETL]

“Debra Tate, the slain actress’s younger sister, told the parole commissioners Sept. 2 that she ‘will pray for (Atkins’) soul when she draws her last breath, but until then I think she should remain in this controlled situation.’ Debra Tate noted that she would have a 40-year-old nephew if her sister had lived...”

[trisham]

It's very sad. Not only did they lose a sister/daughter, the Tate family has had to endure knowing what a cruel death Sharon suffered. They're the ones who deserve our sympathy, as they have received a life sentence as well.

[agrace]

So basically you’re saying that someone can be so depraved that even the Creator of the universe can’t change them?

[Carl LaFong]

Gee, that’s tough. Hey!..pancakes!

[Miss Behave]

Thank you for the Sharon Tate pics, ETL. Beautiful...a dead ringer for my sissy...who died of brain cancer. How’s Hell goin’ for ya, Susan Atkins?

[TChris]

You're going to die and I don't feel anything about it...

Oh, but you WILL feel something, Susan.

You most definitely will.

If she repented, God has forgiven her. I’m happy that she remained in prison until death.

: I'm not, I wish they would have killed her and the whole Manson tribe. They should have tortured them all over a period of several days, making death as painful and as long as they could and making it public while doing so. That would have sent the whole crew of hippie psychos roaming the country at that time to run for cover and would have stopped the 60s communist movement in it's tracks.

[Tax-chick]

I wish they would have killed her and the whole Manson tribe.

Well, yes, that would have been good. I meant "as opposed to letting her out."

“Susan Atkins, one of the killers, writes “Pig” on the house’s front door, in Sharon Tate’s blood.”

“Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
-Weather Underground leader and wife of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, referring to the Manson murders

"When police arrived at the LaBianca murder scene, they found various words written in blood. On the living room walls, there was "rise" and "death to pigs." Carved into Leno LaBianca's stomach was "war." Alone these seem to give no clue, but another writing on the refrigerator did. It was the incorrectly spelt "healter skelter." This led some investigators to believe the writings may have been influenced by the so-called "White Album" by the Beatles which included the song "Helter Skelter." Another song on the album, "Blackbird," used the word "arise" which may have inspired the bloody use of "rise."

The phase "death to pigs" was likely inspired by the Beatles' song "Piggies." Had police made the connection, they would have realized that "pig" was used in the previous murders at the Gary Hinman and Sharon Tate houses. At Hinman's, bloody writing said "political piggie" while "pig" was written at the Tate house."

>>Susan Atkins died a Believer in Christ. Her sins were forgive<<
It is not for me to judge — that is between her and God. But jailhouse conversions are, shall we say, convenient.

Her particular behavior in the Tate killings was crueler than anyone but charlie’s — some things are too terrible to forgive. God, in His infinite wisdom may do so. Most of us can and should not.

“Debra Tate noted that she would have a 40-year-old nephew if her sister had lived...””

Something too many people forget. We only have one life, ONE LIFE on this earth and Sharon never got to live hers fully. I believe she went to heaven, but there is something poignent about how she is in eternal bliss, all needs met, but there’s something about living on earth and experiencing the feeling of comfort that warm socks, jammies, and good food bring in their own unique way.

I hate loathe, and despise the Manson family psychos for what they did. I don’t believe she died truly remorseful and you don’t just swtich from butcher to child of God in such a short time. If she was truly repentent, she would have been willing to live out her sentence. BUs instead she tried to get out time and time again.

Someone that messed up and easily led to the point of butchering those innocent people should be refused parole because if some other madman gets them under his control, she could easily end up killing again.
