The thing that people often overlook with Manson is that he didn't actually physically murder anyone and it was all done by his "followers".

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

The guy was obviously wrong in the head. It doesn't reduce the horror of his crimes at all, but I don't see the point in calling him 'evil'.

Hitler was the leader of a country whose personal ideology lead to the killing of millions of civilians based on race, religion and intellectual ability.

Manson was a nut job no doubt but a product of his upbringing and a strange period in human history when the use of psychedelic drugs and free love were seemingly considered a right of passage for the young and a progressive step.

On a side note I always found one of his murderous vamps highly attractive.

That's blokes for you.

LOL.

Agreed, I'm as surprised as you are.

I would have thought she'd meet at least 3 of his standards:

1. She's female
2. She's alive
3. She's a mammal.

:P
