I don't get all the celebrating over this little psycho dying in prison at age 83.
The people his followers killed are still dead, and it's been decades since he was any kind of threat to society.
There are people who have done so much worse, to more people, and most wouldn't even recognize their names.
He conned a bunch of stupid, drugged out fools to do his bidding, thinking it would shield him from prosecution by not doing the deeds himself.
He lived out the rest of his life getting 3 meals and a bed, fan mail from lame-ass worshipers, and people acting like he was the boogeyman; "Ooo, scawwy...Charlie Manson!!!", not to mention the periodic jailhouse interviews where he'd get to howl about how powerful and dangerous he was, even when he was a just frail, crazy little old man.
When you look at the bigger picture, the sick little bastard got everything he wanted, and kind of got away with it.
Meh.
