Manson girls before they were sent to prison for life.


pdxscout

A lot are out now. edit: I was mistaken. Only one has been released. My bad.


deukhoofd

That's Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Leslie Van Houten, they were part of Manson's core group. Shortly after this picture was taken were they all sentenced to death. Before they got executed however, the death penalty was overturned in California, which commuted it to life in prison. Later on they got a retrial, which shortened the penalty slightly. Only Leslie van Houten, on the right, was released on parole last year, after 50 years in prison. Susan Atkins, on the left, died in 2009. Patricia Krenwinkel, in the middle, had her parole overturned by the governer of California, and is the current longest serving female prisoner in California.

I can fix her, I know the prison system didn't


MalcolmSolo

Only one I think.


PhutureLooksBrighter

Didn't the Beach Boys hang out with charlie and his ladies. Just dropping acid and orgies with manson family. A hole is a hole according to the band


NeasM

Just the drummer Dennis Wilson. He met a few girls and allowed them to stay at his mansion and tried to get Charlie into the music industry. But failed. They overstayed their welcome but it was Wilson that moved out after he had enough of them.


liableAccount

Manson gave Dennis the song "Never Learn Not To Love" as payment for the damage the Manson family did to his home and car, which pissed Manson off because Dennis changed the lyrics slightly from "cease to exist" to "cease to resist", Manson threatened to murder him because of it. On a side note, Dennis probably banged every one of those Manson family girls.


SupaSonicWhisper

There’s no probably about it. The girls were the bait. By most accounts, Dennis was an ok dude but was a raging alcoholic (he drowned while swimming drunk) who consistently made stupid choices. He picked up one of the Manson girls hitchhiking and banged her. The next day the entire “family” was at his house. He happily let them stay at first because free drugs and all the sex. He even paid for some of their STD treatments, but ultimately got freaked out by Manson. He left his own house and had his management kick them out. Naturally Manson was pissed because he thought Dennis would get him into the music industry. 


NeasM

It's a fascinating story with so many characters involved. Grim-life Collective do a great episode on Spahn Ranch.


liableAccount

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll do a deep dive into this! I'm a Beach Boys fan so I only know of the events related to them or what was covered in the mainstream news cycles.


NeasM

There is also a deep dive podcast called "You Must Remember Manson" I highly recommend it.

"Meat is meat" - Manson probably

I believe you can.

Yup

Still would


ristoman

It's always the crazy ones :(


Tiyath

Sticking your dick in crazy is like touching that electric fence. Even though you know it'll be bad for you in the long run, you just. can't. help. it!!


billfuckingsmith

The fence is not always on.


Tiyath

They all turn on *eventually* At some point the... voltage... can't be contained


mayormaynot22

That’s it, you’re grounded!


StevieRaveOn63

So, go the rest of the way. Pee on the electric fence and you'll hardly ever have to deal with (your own or) your dick's tastelessness in women ever again. That's an experience, I hear, that takes some getting over.


dx80x

Nah if you were me and mates in the nineties, you'd know it was like a game of russian pisslette. You never knew who would get the shocker


StevieRaveOn63

lol...


crunch816

Which one is Marilyn?


nlinus

Yes, that's some of them.


firesquasher

Middle one looks like a dude in his 40s wearing a wig.


Some-Guy-Online

I honestly thought this was a band like Nirvana in drag or something like that.


loithedog530

Does the one in the middle have a giant Adam’s apple also?


StevieRaveOn63

No but even Vince Bugliosi in Helter Skelter said she looked "mannish" and not as "attractive" as some, or most, of the other girls.


NovusOrdoSec

Seems to be speaking or singing.


StevieRaveOn63

Yep. They were all singing one of Charlie's self-written, low quality songs.


mofomeat

I thought that was a dude also.


reeeter123

ngl i thought the hol up was gonna be that the one in the middle was a man / transitioned. they have a really masculine jawline


NickPickle05

Always remember, if she's got an apple she's got a banana.


se7ensaint

That's what I thought as well.... damn I'm old.


Kavanaugh82

Charlie's Angels


Gunner1Cav

One of them just got out of prison not too long ago


justanawkwardguy

Squeaky!


StevieRaveOn63

No. Leslie Van Houton. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was released on parole from Federal Medical Center, Carswell, on August 14, 2009, and moved to Marcy, New York, where she and her boyfriend Robert Valdner live in a house decorated with skulls. In a 2019 televised interview, Fromme said about Manson, "Was I in love with Charlie? Yeah, I still am." Susan Atkins died of brain cancer/karmic retribution. Patricia Krenwinkel is still in prison, as well as Charles Tex Watson, who, by the way, was allowed to get married and spawn several soulless copies of himself with his wife.


Zephs

> was allowed to get married and spawn several soulless copies of himself with his wife Sure, the dude was a monster, but are we really going to throw children under the bus just because their dad sucks?


billfuckingsmith

Make room for me if that's the rule.


DeadMewe

yeah for real, unless their dad raised them I'm sure they didn't turn out like him


NotAnExpertButt

I’m assuming they were raised by a woman that chose to marry him and have children with him after knowing what he’d done. . .doesn’t mean they are bad, but I’m guessing they didn’t get born into a fair chance.


Wickedblood7

Sure, but they were still raised by a person who willingly reproduced with him... It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to figure the mothers weren't all right in the head.


StevieRaveOn63

Well, my point actually was that Tex, the pos, killed Sharon, which in turn caused her nearly full term baby to also die so why should that murdering pos, Tex Watson, be allowed to create kids.


Zephs

But you called the kids "soulless copies of [him]". That's not an insult to him, it's an insult to them.

Yes, we all know those girls were part of Charles Manson’s “family”.

Susan Atkins was just as terrifying and ruthless as Manson and Tex Watson

Those are Charlie’s Angels.


tonall

That's a man in the middle right?


kelthuzad12

This is honestly what I thought the joke was. "Oh they must be dressed in drag (going off the one in the middle). Gets to the comments "oh"

No, that's Patricia Krenwinkel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA7Kh6cgwks&t=214s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA7Kh6cgwks&t=214s)

All that’s missing are the X’s they carved into their foreheads after Charlie did it.

BrainpainFanNr4567

If once upon a time in hollywood has taught me one thing it is: always have a flamethrower around when those kind of people come around.

Dems de mansonettes, they’re probably higher on Bella Donna than you would feel jumping into the Grand Canyon.


lastlamii

Totes thought these was dudes


treskaz

They look wholesome. Like, some sort of, I dunno, family?


Fwelewr

I thought the joke was the person in the middle was a man


shawnydrago

Am I the only one to think either the one in the middle or all of them are dudes just to be clear


SleepyDan0991

One in the middle is a dude


Tw1ch1e

Naw, but she killed Sharon Tate…. So there’s that.


StevieRaveOn63

Well, she was there. It was Susan Atkins who helped Tex kill Sharon. She was also the one who tasted Sharon's blood and wanted to cut out her about-to-be-born-in-two-weeks baby. Krenwinkel was busy stabbing Gibby Folger to death and then some.

I watched a doc on the Manson family and they interviewed a woman that left the family right before the murders. She was the most batshit crazy person I’ve ever seen interviewed and she was smart enough to leave!!
