Born on November twelfth, 1934 In Cincinnati, Ohio, many people remember Charles Manson as the convicted serial killer who had become an icon of evil. In the late 1960’s Manson founded a hippie cult group known as “the family”, who he had manipulated into brutally killing others as a product of his madness. Manson was blamed for killing over nine people. Manson’s insanity could be seen as a product of lack of parenting from his parents, his brutal drug addiction, and the failure to launch his music career. Between his deep feelings of abandonment, and the lack of a family love he so desperately always wanted it is evident Manson had created his own family, not a family with the …show more content…
Manson was had been the mastermind behind four attacks. First was the Crowe shooting, “The family” had been on the search for some drugs, Manson was lead to a black drug dealer names Bernard Crowe, in believeing in the Helter Skelter theory Mansons Family took action and shot/killed the man. Next was the Hinman murder, Manson had been suspicious that a fellow neighbor of his named Gary Hinman had stolen some money from him. Manson sent over a few members of the cult to go get the money and when Bobby wouldn’t cough it up, Manson had retaliated by keeping him hostage for two days full of tortue until finally a member had stabbed him to death. After that came the tate muders, the most famous of Mansons groosum work. On the night of August 8, 1969, Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian were sent by Manson to the old home of Terry Melcher. Their instructions were to kill everyone at the house and make it appear like Hinman's murder, with words and symbols written in blood on the walls. The four did as they were told and brutally killed Steven Parent, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Sharon Tate and Sharon Tate's unborn child. Manson had planned to make this infuriate the whites so that they would retaliate against the black and quite possibly his Helter Sketler theory may have came true. Each of the “family” members were later convicted all though that subject would be up for debate whether Charles was actually guilty or not. After all was said and done after a misserable childhood full of quite possibly the worst family structure possible, the hard come up of mischief and rebelliance, the drug addiction, and the unsuccesfull attempt at making it as a rock star Manson did in fact have a hard life but it was no reason to lash and do what he did. Till this day I believe Manson had gone nuts since the day his mother didn’t want him anymore and he was looking for a “family”
