Is it normal that i think charles manson should die?

He's clearly mentally ill, and the 'system' failed both him and us numerous times. Have you ever read about his life before his most famous crimes? I suggest you do. He should be in a mental hospital. I wouldn't let him out because of his cult status, he could easily create a repeat, but I wouldn't kill him because his situation is so complex and there's serious indications he has mental illness.

I'll tell you what, let ALL non-violent drug offenders out and I'd more than gladly pay for any person who has been convicted of any violent crime to stay in prison. It makes me MORE sick to know that we can't keep people who have done physical harm to another person behind bars because we have to many people in there for selling or possessing drugs. FUCKING SICK. It would be a complete non-issue if we weren't locking non-violent drug offenders up.

He never killed anyone. He only talked weak minded people into killing people.

The point is it is stupid to think that someone like him is ever gonna kill himself over the guilt of being a burden on society.

Well of course. Sure he never killed anyone personally but he's a cult leader. He's just as dangerous. Not to mention that he was raised in corruption, so putting him in the general public would be like saying, "Ok, here ya go. Go find some more troubled teens and twenty somethings to do your bidding." He's a sociopath, he cares about nothing but himself. Plus what he had people do was heinous. He's one of those folks who deserves death.

No, he's an American Icon, what's wrong with you?

Dude, I was reading on yahoo news like, two days ago that this failed, middle-aged musician thinks Manson is his Daddy. He said he was adopted as a baby, eventually located his birth Mom and she admitted that she got pregnant with him in an orgy and Manson was in that orgy.

The guy looks a lot like him. Poor fucker. "My Mom got pregnant with me in an orgy with Charles Manson" isn't really the kind of story that you would tell at an office party...

if someone is guilty to an irrefutable degree of a heinous crime, i agree they should be incinerated. They are at odds with the majority of society and there is no place for them, so send them back to their maker.

The problem is if you are not absolutely sure, I do not agree with capital punishment, as it would be as heinous a crime to murder someone incorrectly.

I'm a CHARLES MANSON lookalike.

After reading these comments....all I can do is shake my head.

I think everyone should have the right to assisted suicide given certain parameters. Manson doesn't seem like someone who wants it anyway, and as far as I know he's not suffering from a painful terminal illness.

If he cut his wrists in a warm bath tomorrow I'd find it difficult to feel anything other than overwhelming indifference.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Why give him an opportunity his actions denied others?

Poor Charles. Let's all go to his house on friday and have tea. That'll make him feel better.

I thought he was already dead.

Ok. Not to give my age away or anything, but I was a teen when all this happened. Horrific. It was awful. He may not have killed with his own hands, but he appears to have power over weak people to fi his bidding. He still has people wanting to be his disciple. His prison found out he somehow got a cell phone. They took it away. Thank God. He is still dangerous. He should stay where he is.
