Not sure my imagination is that good. Charlie's kind of in a class by
himself.

It occurred to me afterwards that I made a big mistake...I made it sound
like Manson actually met Sharon Tate. He wasn't present at the Polanski
house the night of the butchery. Was he at the LaBianca house?
Probably not. Snapped his fingers, flashed those eyes. Yes, those
eyes...like some Svengali who could get anyone to do his bidding. I
knew there was at least one other guy involved in The Family: Charles
"Tex" Watson who allegedly became a Christian evangelical preacher while
behind the walls in northern CA. How nice for him. Not sure whether
he's still incarcerated. I can't imagine letting any of those people
out, ever. I think I said yesterday that Manson is the one guy I wish
had been murdered in prison. Yeah, Dahmer wasn't a bad deal, but he was
a solo agent: Manson got other people to do the work for him. Such
people test our own beliefs in Charity.

This set is going to mean homework. And taking myself into places I
don't necessarily want to go. Anyone wanna try to get into the head of
Dylan Klebold OR Charles Manson?
