He didn't actually kill anyone. He only told people to kill for him and they did because they were weak minded enough to do what they were told. It's not his problem that people are capable of being manipulated. If everyone listened to me every time I told them what to do there would be a lot more dead people than Manson was held responsible for.

    Personally I think he is quite content in jail. Where he belongs.

    After such a long time he would not be capable of leading any kind of normal existence outside jail, and he is bound to be targeted by vigilantes in any event.

    I take your point, however.

    I suppose that makes him no more evil than your average politician.

    I don't think you quite understand what brainwashing is. It isn't just telling someone to do something, then them just inexplicably doing it because they're "weak-minded". That's a very simplistic interpretation, and reality is a lot more complicated than that. You can't accidentally or unknowingly brainwash someone; Manson either knew exactly what he was doing or was criminally insane, and in which case should be kept in some other kind of institution. He is many things, but he is not innocent.

      I'm down to go have dinner with him too. I think the media created all the hype about how bad he is because his beliefs about the environment and media were a threat to the government so they used him as "see, this guy thinks our environment and society is going to shit, and he makes people kill, so you should do the opposite of what he says." The media is the true manipulator. Manson is just an intelligent wacko.
