I Kind Of Like Charles Manson...There, I said it, page 1

Youtube has been a great source for unedited footage for me past few years, and one of the most surprising video series I came across was the Charles Manson interviews, NOT edited by the media. Have any of you actually watched any of them? I think you'd be surprised at the difference in your own impressions of him vs what the media has told us about him for decades now.

Here's what the media wants us to see of Charlie, which is mostly select sound bytes like everything else they do...







I'd be lying if I said Charlie didn't crack me up when he acts like that, but I don't think he's any more insane than ANY of us would be under the same conditions he's endured.

If you have the time now or someday, I recommend watching this uncut interview with Geraldo Riveira...

Can any of you imagine what it would be like to spend 23 hours per day in solitary confinement for years? Would any one of us sound or act remotely sane after even 2 weeks of that life? Any mammal on the planet would go insane under those conditions.
He's had a lot of time to think about the world and society, and his words do ring of many truths in the world. Give him a chance and see what you think about him compared to what the media told us about him.

Based on what I've seen of Manson from these uncut interviews, I kind of feel bad for the guy, and for all of us at the same time.
What was bizarre to me was that I found myself agreeing with his perspective at times.
He seems to have been used and abused by the media and America's lack of environmental perspective and empathy to the lifestyle he was a part of at the time.

I also don't think releasing him from prison at this point would do him or any of us any good. That's his home now and he's comfortable with that reality, among many other realities he is living in.

I don't think the trial would stand a chance today.

First off you have the president of the united states declaring that he is guilty while the trial is on going. This kind of statement I'm sure has a direct influence on the juries opinion and would at the very least need a new jury.



He wasn't allowed to address the Jury cause the judge feared that he would hypnotize them.

Edit to add:

From what I understand also, none of his witnesses were allowed to testify. He didn't have one minute of defense.

lol

Sure of course you're right.

But you're saying he's guilty when the trial was an obvious sham. He wasn't allowed witnesses.. not one minute of defense. Is that fair?

We're in backwards world if you haven't noticed. Justice is very blind.
Charles Manson didn't murder anyone, gets life pretty much.
OJ - white Bronco, nuff said.... not guilty.
Manson - worth $0 innocent, worth millions guilty.
OJ - worth millions, cost millions for not guilty.
That's the American just-us system.

Hmm..like him?


I like her more, Chucky there can continue to be in his deserved hell. He remove the woman above from existence so we can be blessed with his nonsense.

Allegedly, through other people? How many people have made statements, online alone, that call for harming or killing of others in the same ways he supposedly did to those kids who did the killing?

I can twist this around and say that Rumsfeld, Bush, and Cheney, to start, should be immediately arrested and go on trial for the murder of over 1 million innocent civilians in Iraq. THEY "commanded" others to kill children, fathers, and pregnant mothers, all in the name of bad information?

edit on 3-10-2011 by JibbyJedi because: (no reason given)

Yes, it is the responsibility of the commander as to who dies.
And yes, Bush is ultimately responsible for the death that war brought.
And those whom put bush in power..aka, the majority of the american people whom elected him...so yes, we all have blood on our hands (even those of us whom never voted for him...democracy..innit a bish).

Chuck was commander of his own little cult...so he and those whom put him up shall be punished accordingly..they were not elected to make decisions about life and death..
