OK... lol... Although there was nothing funny about Charles Manson. Remember that crazed look in his eyes? Scary! Glad he was put away forever. :) gw

Chose the wrong path...the desolate one. Left many heartbroken and dead in his wake. The mind must be centered and humbled by God. I met someone that was around at that time and said there was such fear.

I read Bugliosi’s book so many years ago. A disturbing story.

Ooh. Charlie and his gang were as vicious as they come... They were like Al Capone's gangs on steroids... (or LSD or whatever they were dropping back then). ~ gw

Got that one right. He did not have what it took to be in a mansion. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Manson's Mansion might have been a 7 X 10 cell instead of a 6 X 8 prison cell. lol. It's all relative, I guess... HNY 2021, Sara, and thank you for all of your support!! :)
