Manson Family Wants Out Of Prison
By Wyatt Earp | March 31, 2009
Yeah? And I want Jessica Biel to return my phone calls and lift the restraining order, but none of those things are going to happen anytime soon.
Susan Atkins is terminally ill; Charles “Tex” Watson is an ordained minister. They and other members of Charles Manson’s murderous “family” now shun him.
After three decades behind bars, Manson family members Atkins, Watson, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten have repeatedly been described as model prisoners who have accepted responsibility for their crimes.
Parole boards, however, continue to reject their bids for release, and a debate rages over whether the four should ever be freed.
They should reject their bids. These people are not fit to breathe our air. They are poster children for the death penalty – a sentence they received before Kalifornia tossed the punishment in the early 70′s.
The release of Manson’s prison photo recently rekindled public interest in slayings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others in a two-night rampage that terrorized the city of Los Angeles, California, in August 1969. CNN looked into the status of some of his former followers.
Atkins, California’s longest-serving female inmate, requested a “compassionate release” from the California Board of Parole Hearings in July. She has terminal brain cancer, doctors say. The board unanimously denied her request. (H/T – CNN)
This piece really enrages me, because the story comes off with a slight pro-Manson slant. As if we’re supposed to set these monsters free because they’re getting old. Frak that!
Does anyone even remember what these people did to put them in prison in the first place? Cripes, Atkins stabbed Sharon Tate and her unborn baby almost 20 times. Tate pleaded for her life, and Atkins replied that she had no sympathy for her.
In my opinion, every one of these pieces of garbage deserves to die behind bars.

I am sure the victims of the “family” want their lives back too.
Let them, die in prison.

I was surprised to see that Manson is still alive. Scum.

Admiral – Preferably sooner rather than later.
GroovyVic – He’s the tool at the top left in the photo.
Rick – Agreed. Wastes of space.

Fear not. I believe the California Parole Board WILL in fact keep them precisely where they are until they die. This last round was a clear indicator.

Gee I wonder if Abigal Folger and Sharon Tate have the option of having their lives back. I’ll tell you what bring them back to life, give Sharon back her baby that they stole from her dead body, and then I say let them out. Oh, you can’t do that – THAN ROT IN HELL F’ER’S !!!!

Not only rot in jail but cut off their arms and legs and let them flop around in their cells ala “Boxing Helena”. Also never clean the floor again:) LOLOL

If the four Manson family members have accepted responsibility for their crimes, that’s well and good. But they haven’t paid society in full for their crimes yet, and since they can’t be executed, they must die in prison. It’s that simple.

I hope they rot in hell.

I’m sorry Susan Atkins has brain cancer.
I wish she would live to spend another fifty years behind bars. She stabbed Sharon Tate (and her unborn baby) sixteen times, damn animal.
“She also testified that Tate had pleaded for her life and that of her unborn child, to which Atkins replied, “Woman, I have no mercy for you.”
Susan, trust me, we have no mercy for you either.

BZ – From your lips to God’s ears.
Tom – And volunteers are always welcome.
TGYDBHTM – Agreed wholeheartedly. When you get to hell, tell ‘em Itchy sent ya!
Jon – Mmm . . . stinky!
Morgan – And if they could die painful deaths, that would be icing on the cake.
Daisy – You and me both, sister!
Mrs. Crankipants – I giggle every time I hear about her brain cancer. Couldn’t happen to a nicer gal.

Awwww! They’re getting old in prison.
There is a cure for that.

They killed innocent people for what purpose? Hmmm, none. They thought it wood be fun. Charles, you’re a nasty and rotten human being and I hope you rot in there. None of y’all deserve to get out. I hope you suffer more then anyone else in prison. You’re a disgrace to the world and you should have already been dead many years ago.
