100% badass.
Shot said:Over the years i've been alive i have come to my conclusion of charles manson-
He was never given a fair trial and he NEVER murdered anyone, dispite what you think about his influences on the people that did it. He himself never killed anyone. I think he is pretty smart of the universe... not school smart (and shit that doesnt matter) i like him.
Satan said:I expected some really tryhard, edgy stuff in this thread, instead got something I can work with. Here's my opinion on Charlie's antics.
He's a truly brilliant, absolutely raw and insane genius, as if you took every manipulative, really dark raw trait humans have and packed it into one person. There will never be a greater thing to live by than "I make the money, man. I roll the nickels. The game is mine. I deal the cards."
He had everything he wanted and nothing to lose. A decent musician, a couple girls and no place to go, but no limits to where. I feel like, he had the potential to do some pretty cool stuff, but misplaced his priorities and goals.
I'll leave you with this.

xSlatzy said:I do agree with you but I don't feel that he ever manipulated these "manson family" members. I feel these members were just in aww of how great this guy was so they began doing things that they thought he wanted. For example I believe it is even during this interview he begins to talk about the murders and he states that the people who killed the actress they asked him what they should do and he simple told them do what you feel is right, and that is what they did. they did what they felt was right not what he felt was right. Also another little side fact but did you know that during his whole trial of when this went down the prison system wouldn't let him cut his hair/shave his beard? And this was because they wanted him to look insane to the public.
I agree with some of what you have to say he is extremely fascinating as well as brilliant, but I don't think that he is in fact mentally ill. I think it is quite the opposite. I think this man has so much knowledge and he just knows so much that he doesn't what to do. From a psychology stand point this would be an extremely interesting study.
Cann!bal said:He has a swastika tattoo on his forehead and believed he was Jesus Christ. He was most definitely mentally ill.
xSlatzy said:Do the research go watch some interviews please. #1 The swastika is a sign of peace, also even if he meant it the other way, in hating jews that wouldn't make him "insane". Also he never believed he was jesus christ. He states that there are black, mexican, and all sorts of jesus's but he never states that he thought of himself as jesus christ or that he even thought he was.

Cann!bal said:No, the swastika is not a peace sign. The "swastika" was initially a Buddhist symbol for good luck, however, that consisted of four dots along the bent arms of the twisted cross, though, it was painfully rebranded in the 40's. There are not four dots on his tattoo. He has a swastika, not this peace symbol. (The Nazi ideology doesn't subsist of purely antisemitic views, y'know. It's a political ideology.)
He most certainly did. He indoctrinated his followers into thinking he was him. I'm doubting you actually did any thorough research since this was a rudimentary fact about the Manson Family. He denies it now, however, his followers attest that he did indeed claim to be him. He led a cult! It's hard to deny he was mentally ill.
