Just had to get this off my chest, thanks for letting me rant. Many on this site were alive when this P.O.S. committed all these murders in California. I was always pissed when the state commuted his and his followers sentences to life in prison. To me this was one of the declines in our society, and the butchery that was done should have been used to show others what would happen if you kill in that fashion. I really hope the S.O.B. burns in hell for all eternity.
 
So he died in the hospital, not in prison. Surely he must have had a chuckle about that.
Not that I condone what these people did, but many people with a lot more blood on their hands have risen to the top of the political ladder, in the USA and around the world, perhaps you even voted for a few of them.

All I can say is I hope that anyone who kills an innocent person gets fried crispy, and then burns for all eternity.
 
"Third Rail" topic bound to ignite passions .. so I will avoid that part of the discussion. Religion too .. should the "state" kill or not kill. I will avoid that too. People don't need my two cents on any of that stuff, pro or con.

BUT

i remember these murders when they happened .. just how savage they were was not something i learned till way later in life. Turns my stomach.

Personally I wish ALL of them sadistic "family" #&*Q@'s had had a chance to have "inhaled the gas" and died "sobbin, slobberin', and seizin" for about 15 mins..some crimes rise to the occasion (kill a cop, rape/murder a child, etc.) , and this was DEFINITELY one. :(

All that to say, the late Robin Harris had political-comedy routine about the death penalty .. long and short of it was IF he were an executioner, he'd have NO problem "juicing" heinous "mo-fos" (e.g., like Manson), night and day, non-stop, till they were are all gone. "Step right up, take a seat. ZZZAPPK! Next! Yeah, you too "mo-fo". Get up here!"

Let's be completely accurate. The State did not commute his sentence along with that of Sirhan and a hundred others.

On April 24, 1972, the Supreme Court of California ruled in People v. Anderson that the current death penalty laws were unconstitutional. Justice Marshall F. McComb was the lone dissenter, arguing that the death penalty deterred crime, noting numerous Supreme precedents upholding the death penalty's constitutionality, and stating that the legislative and initiative processes were the only appropriate avenues to determine whether the death penalty should be allowed. The majority's decision spared the lives of 105 death row inmates, including Sirhan Sirhan (assassin of Robert F. Kennedy) and serial killer Charles Manson.[9] McComb was so upset about the Anderson decision that he walked out of the courtroom.

Following the ruling, the California Constitution was immediately modified to reinstate capital punishment, under an initiative called Proposition 17. In 1973 a new statute was subsequently enacted, making the death penalty mandatory for a number of crimes including first degree murder in specific instances, kidnapping where a person dies, train wrecking where a person dies, treason against the state, and assault by a life prisoner if the victim dies within a year.

The California Supreme court ruled against it. Prop 17 went to vote in November 1972, which I voted for, and it passed reinstating the death penalty.

and yes I remember Charlie. We lived not all that far from Spahn Ranch where he holed up in the San Fernando Valley between 1968-69. Moved away to San Diego in later 1968. Trivia in that the ranch was used to film The Lone Ranger and Bonanza.
 
Finally this POS has finished his life sentence and we can stop paying for his drain on society .....

MAY HE ROT AND BURN FOR ETERNITY IN HELL !!!!!


The end !!!
 
Same sentiment from me as stated in all the previous posts. He was a POS that was a huge drain on the taxpayer!
 
Man, i was in Jr. High at the time. Thought Sharon Tate was one of the toastiest looking girls i’d seen. And to think they killed that whole group by mistake. Apparently Charlie the asshat was pissed at the previous tenant at that house.
He was just plain evil and preyed on weak minds to form his “family”.
Leave the politics out of it.
As soon as someone says “not that i condone it” i think “here comes an excuse”.

We had the same thing in Illinois. Their was a P.O.S. named Richard Speck. Not many out of the state may have heard of him, but he kidnapped, brutalized and raped nine women, killed eight and the only one who survived had to play dead for 12 hours. His death penalty sentence was commuted also, thirty years later he was interviewed and said he was happy with no regrets. He had a place to live, three meals a day, and all the sex and drugs he wanted. The P.O.S. state of Illinois even started giving him hormone shots so he could grow natural breast's and have a better time in prison.
 
Michigan nearly got a death penalty law put on the ballot a year or so ago. I’ll bet if they passed around a death penalty petition for Cop Killers it would pass. It’s getting way out of hand.

Should be automatic for all cop killers, pushers, and child molesters / killers.

What excuse is that?
People are getting all worked up about a small time criminal when we have illustrious leaders making decisions on a regular basis which kill people by the thousands, put things into context.
I am all for capital punishment and agree that these people should have fried for what they did.
Don't twist what I'm saying buddy.

I remember him. When I first saw Silence of the Lambs I initially thought Buffalo Bill was Speck but apparently not according to the author.
 
i thought the reason he was not given the death penalty because at the time of his conviction California did not have one. It believe it was reinstated shortly after his sentencing so they could not execute him. Also I believe I once read that the prosecutor was a member of 101st airborne in WWII and was in the book "Band of Brothers".
 
Growing up in Simi Valley we heard the stories about Spahn Ranch (6 miles from our house), we moved to Simi in January of 69 and had to drive past it anytime we left the valley. Years later I'd ride bicycles my there and couldn't help thinking about it.

Yes we came up at the right time.
 
Unfortunately he survived much too long. During my few years working for the PA Dept of Corrections I learned that there are many truly evil people in this world that should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
