Manson didn't keep people against their will. They would come and go. Many are still alive and will tell you that. If you didn't wanna hang out with Manson, you could leave. I don't see him as a cult leader like Jones or Applewhite or even Scientology.

Yeah you’re right now that I think about. Did you see Once Upon Time In Hollywood

Manson was railroaded. He had no money, no defense, wasn't even allowed to speak during his trial. Tex Watson killed those people, not Manson. You rarely hear about Tex Watson. The D.A. concocted a crazy story, sold it to the masses & retired a millionaire.

Another similar case is Aileen Wuornos. The attorneys, judges, police, the entire justice system, her friends (except for Dawn Botkins) were selling her story to the media & Hollywood before she even went to trial. Everyone betrayed her. Vile, reprehensible...

Aileen had a really shitty life her dad killed himself in prison while locked up for kidnapping and sodomizing a kid, beat by her grandpa, had sexual relationship with her brother, pregnant at 13, raped

True that. But the similarity of the two cases is in how the justice system treated these traumatized, damaged people and sold them like pieces of meat to the highest bidders, cashing in on their infamy, instead of trying to get to the truth of the matter.

That’s what the justice system does though they make em look like these vile, disturbed, deranged predators that they can use their favorite word evil to sell to the masses it’s a win-win in their favor

In Aileen's case, they did nothing but psychologically torture that poor woman. She may not have been insane when they arrested her, but by the time they executed her, she was driven stark raving mad. The system, including the media, are vicious blood suckers

I agree she was definitely a damaged person from all the past abuse and getting beaten down by life but by the time of her execution she was really out there from psychological torture mean look what her last words were

Her case is so sad. Even her attorney was making deals behind her back, selling her out. & that crazy Pralle woman who adopted Aileen post arrest, saying she loved Aileen like a mother, blah blah blah. Also, making deals behind her back. Wtf? It's unbelievable
Replying to
Yeah what happened to attorney-client privilege where all communication with a client is confidential...and Pralle she seen an opportunity to make a little bit of money and love as manipulation to capitalize for her own benefits

The justice system is worse now than ever.
