While I understand where you are trying to go there, I think you’re way off base.
They were trying to start a race war. They killed number of innocent people who were well connected. They killed a woman carrying a baby, and cut the baby out of her.
These were not simple drive by shootings. There was a fair amount of planning. There was a very devious attempt to start a race war. The acts were very very vile.
Blood was used to write things on the walls.
There as the Tate killings, and also the La Bianca killings, two separate events, all innocent people.
It was a very twisted and sordid affair.
Manson’s group has quite a bit in common with the viciousness of MS-13 or the violent political revolution of the Weather Underground, both of which saw members paroled etc.
and while you say that the murders had quite a bit of planning, there was a prior drug deal related killing (with a Manson family member/actor in custody for that crime). The Tate-LaBianca killings may have been an attempt to make it appear that Bobby Beausoleil was “not” the killer to get him released.

There were some articles on FR about this in January when he was up for parole this year
Wasn’t it also strongly suspected that Manson and his cohorts had also killed other people who crossed them at the Spahn ranch where they lived and elsewhere?
