Knowing anything about his background will anybody dare affirm that diabolical FREE WILL explains the evil in Charlie Manson ? Most certainly in his case DEPRIVED in childhood gets linked to DEPRAVED in adulthood. I recall certain ultra -Leftists back then - like Jerry Rubin ( " Do It " , still ALIVE with the 60s spirit of rebellion ) - making a cult hero of Manson .
[ " While events like the US Army’s massacre at My Lai in southern Vietnam divided public opinion, Manson’s flimsy plight was momentarily championed by the counterculture. Famed hippie and a notorious thorn in the side of the Establishment, Jerry Rubin, gained an audience with Manson in custody, where they chattered happily for hours." ]
Sadly this is how more than a few oppressed childhoods turn out . WHO made the monster Charlie Manson ? In 2017 capitalist misery and hopelessness is breeding many more Charlie Mansons.
How will some hungry poor kids in Rhode Island turn out - when being HUNGRY ON THANKSGIVING is a ten year old bad memory ? They could relate to those oh-so-1968 curses in Jerry Rubin's " Do It " : Like " F---AMERIKA ! "
