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.

They can make millions off of traumatized damaged people while at the same time using that to make them look like horror movie villains to build cases against so they can look like the hero’s to society

Look at all the money they still making of off Manson, Ramirez, Bundy with the documentaries, movies, and tv series like Mind Hunters. They’re locked up and shown to the public just like animals at the zoo

Manson would address that in interviews, how they were using him to make money and create fear and how the system thrives on crime. Most interviewers wouldnt let him talk, tho & would try to enrage him with insults, wild accusations, knowing he would act out
