Charles Manson is dead

I saw Charles Manson trending & assumed the GOP had picked him to take over for Roy Moore in the race.

How long we gunna keep this POS alive?
Pull the life support plug,
adios Crazy Charlie.
Good riddance!

. Probably an artifact of 70's drug culture in that regard.

Hinman murder
Charles “Tex” Watson scammed Bernard Crowe to obtain money for Manson. Crowe threatened Manson and the Manson family. Soonafter, Manson shot Crowe under the false pretense that Crowe was part of the Black Panthers, an African-American leftist organization. However, Crowe did not die, and Manson feared retaliation from Crowe. In order to escape and move into a new territory away from the Spahn Ranch (The Manson Family compound), Manson needed money. In the midst of Manson’s escape plan, he was told that his friend Gary Hinman was coming into some money from an inheritance.

In an effort to retrieve money from Hinman, Manson ordered Bobby Beausoleil, along with Mary Brunner and Susan Atkins, to go to Hinman’s residence and persuade him to turn over the money. Hinman was uncooperative. After being held hostage for days, Manson came over with a sword and slashed Hinman’s left ear. Ultimately, Beausoleil murdered Hinman by stabbing him twice in the chest. Hinman’s blood was used to smear “political piggy” on the wall along with the Black Panther’s paw to implicate the Black Panther party.

Although there is much speculation regarding the circumstances surrounding Hinman’s murder, Beausoleil was arrested when he was found sleeping in Hinman’s vehicle, wearing the bloody clothes worn during the stabbing, and with the murder weapon concealed in the trunk tire.

Manson supposedly boasted to having personally committed over 30 murders.

Weege is good people.

he was originally sentenced to death, but the LIBERAL California Supreme Court invalidated the death sentence a year later saying it was unconstitutional.

he was originally sentenced to death

On December 27th. 1986 20 year old, SDSU college student Cara Knott was travelling southbound on Interstate 15. Cara was on her way home from an evening at her boyfriends home in Escondido to her parents home in El Cajon. Craig Peyer, on duty CHP patrol officer, flashed lights at Knott to pull off the freeway to an isolated off ramp. It is thought the situation with Knott became physical when, she threatened to report Peyers behavior. Peyer beat her with his flash-light, and strangled her with rope from his patrol car. He then disposed of her body by throwing her off an abandoned bridge into the brush below.

Craig Peyer, the only California Highway Patrol officer ever convicted of committing murder while on duty, was sentenced to state prison Wednesday by a judge who said Cara Knott's death could have been prevented if CHP officials had acted on an earlier citizen's complaint about Peyer.

Peyer, a 13-year CHP veteran before his firing in May, 1987, was sentenced to the maximum term of 25 years to life. He was convicted of strangling Knott, a 20-year-old San Diego State University student, on the night of Dec. 27, 1986, near an isolated off-ramp along Interstate 15 and throwing her body off a bridge 65 feet into a dry creek bed. He will be eligible for consideration for parole after serving 17 years, 8 months.

Superior Court Judge Richard Huffman, who presided over two emotional trials for Peyer, struggled to maintain his composure before imposing the sentence. After praising CHP officials for working hard to restore the agency's reputation after Peyer's arrest, Huffman said they had to share some blame for Knott's death.

The judge was particularly angered by a CHP sergeant's failure to take decisive action when a mother called to complain that Peyer had forced her daughter to stop on the darkened Mercy Road off-ramp one month before Knott was murdered in the area. The sergeant was "following the bureaucratic pattern of dismissing complaints," Huffman said.
