Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins dies

[Kevin]

. . . and may she rot in hell.

She may receive forgiveness in the next world, but none here. When you do the sort of depraved things she did, your life should be forfeit, be it spent behind bars or be it extinguished by a chemical cocktail.

Yep. He did. I love the Beatles and I have the White Album. Everytime that song or Sexy Sadie starts, I skip them, and I actually like both songs. "Helter Skelter" is actually a harmless British carnival ride, but Charles Manson said it meant "War of Wars" Basically a race war, which is why he took the wallets from some of his victims and placed them in predominantly black neighborhoods. Apparently, he had a bad experience with African American prisoners. What a complete ASSHOLE!!!!!

She should have done that when her sentence was imposed. Like, over 30 years ago, BEFORE she received her free education, BEFORE, she received free medical care, BEFORE she married and enjoyed some of the benefits of everyday life, and some of those benefits she received, innocent Americans (who want, need, and will contribute great things to society with them) don't and won't receive them....EVER.

All while in jail. Besides, she died of terminal brain cancer, and had a leg amputated. Do you have any idea how painful and horrible that is? To force her to go through that without any type of medical care would be cruel.

I'm surprised... people that seem to hate her so much wanted her to die 30 years ago. If you (general "you") really hated her that much you'd (general "you") be happy she didn't die a (relatively) pain-free death.

Although I have heard that there are indicators that death by lethal injection is actually pretty painful.

Also - I can't find anything online about her having a child in prison. Cheerfulgreek, can you cite that source? Everything I've seen has said that she had a child before the murders, and when her family did not come forward to claim the child he was adopted and his name was changed. Actually, to Paul, which would have been the name of Sharon Tate's child. But no one knows (or is saying) what happened to that child.

Read a book, and you'll also know that Sharon Tate's unborn child (that Susan "Sadistic" Atkins denied her) would have been named Paul too.

Read a post, actually, the post you quoted, and you'll know that I already said that.

That's fairly obvious. Logic and reason are far too complicated, I see.

So, why would you quote a post you didn't read?

I didn't quote her post nor did I read it. I saw that on the news when Susan died.
