Poll question: Favorite Manson Family member?

Everybody's got one! Collect them all!

1. Squeaky, because

my mom dressed up as her for Halloween back when my mom was young and a little spitfire.

Also, Squeaky Fromme is a kickass name.

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Not as kick ass as the name Charlie gave his baby

by Susan Atkins: "Zezo Zoze Zadfrak Glutz."

[jane_pippin]

7. That's not bad either.

[kmla]

3. Point of contention - Danny DeCarlo wasn't an actual member.

He just hung out with the family for the, ummmm.... errr.... 'loose women.'

And the drugs.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. True...however, he was involved in the murder of

Shorty Shea. Unlike some of the other Straight Satans, DeCarlo felt some loyalty to Manson and was arrested in the same dune buggy bust that helped bring down the Family.

4. Squeaky.

Simply because I was called that in college. (friends were telling me I looked like her when I was piqued)

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Really? Did you wear a Little Red Riding Hood

outfit and a thousand-yard stare? :evilgrin:

[Sugar Smack]

24. Yes, and then I went and drew the line at shaving my head.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

5. Which was the one woman who did her time

But keeps getting denied parole - despite her being rehabilitated?

[kmla]

6. I think you are thinking of Leslie.

Although I believe both Susan and Leslie have found religion...

(Edited for bad use of English language...)

[RandomKoolzip]

12. Yup. It's Leslie Van Houten.

Her and Linda Kasabian have both been rehabilitated.

I hope Susan Atkins never gets out....as far as I'm concerned, she's still a psycho.

[noonwitch]

20. Leslie Van Houten has been rehabilitated, but she should never get out

I've seen her interviewed-she does seem to have a great deal of remorse for her actions. She has been a model inmate, so to speak, and works at the prison teaching other inmates to read and such. She is one of the best arguments against the death penalty in that sense.

That said, her crimes were of a nature in which she deserves a life sentence without parole. She was part of killing the LaBiancas and was lucky she didn't get executed.

Linda Kasabian killed no one, was released after testifying against the family, and went on to live her life (according to Bugliosi). If I have a favorite "Family" member, it's one of the ones who cooperated with the police and helped put the killers away.

Squeaky always makes me think of that old SNL skit "Dangerous, but Inept" where Larraine Newmen played Squeaky.

[RandomKoolzip]

22. I think Van Houten should be denied parole, too.

Unfortunately, Kasabian's later life hasn't been great. She's been busted for drugs a few times and has all sorts of health problems.

[no name no slogan]

10. I was born the night of the LaBianca murders

and Charlie Manson is a sick sick man who needs to stay locked up for as long as he lives.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. No argument there.

It's STILL hard to believe that a guy most people would consider to be just another mangy-ass street nutball street person was able to acquire a small fucking army to do his bidding. How fucked is THAT? After all the reading I've done about the Manson Family, that will still never fail to amaze me.

Like, I avoid obvious pathetic crazy people like that on the street, and yet, he was GOD to a bunch of impressionable young people. How the hell did that happen?

[Sugar Smack]

27. OMG. I KNEW there was a reason you reminded me of

Sharon Tate.

[no name no slogan]

29. Me? REALLY?

Is it the legs, or the hair? Or the boobz? :P

[LynneSin]

11. Yes, we should all have our favorite mass murder

Hell, let's start a post about our favorite dictator: Hilter, Stalin, Pol Pot, Pinochet, etc

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Mine's definitely Pol Pot.

Cuz I love to smoke that weed, baby!

(i.e. It's an ironic joke.)

[DrGonzoLives]

15. Pinochet was a snappy dresser

n/t

[LynneSin]

21. You and RKZ both need professional help

anyone knows that Stalin; without a doubt, was the man!

[RandomKoolzip]

23. But he had no style.

Him and Hitler both had really fugly moustaches. Grody!

[no name no slogan]

26. Francisco Franco kinda looked like Charlie Chaplin

but was nowhere near as humorous

[underpants]

13. Definitely Squeaky

I used to have a crush on her. Seriously. Not because of what she did (obvioiusly) I just thought she was cute.

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Those cold, cold eyes make men swoon.

BTW, Sandy Good is still free, and STILL a Mansonite. WTF?!

[underpants]

19. Okay I googled her name

the second listing is an interview from.... charlesmanson.com

:scared:

[kmla]

18. Here's a site that updated what they've been up to lately...

If you really wanna know...

http://charliesfamily.tripod.com/

Amazing what you can find on Google.

[Momgonepostal]

25. I've actually met Steve Grogan

My mother has a couple of paintings he did in her home. I don't know that he's doing right now, but I think at least at one time he had pulled himself pretty well together.

[peekaloo]

28. Leslie. The crazy Aunt Milhouse never mentions.

:P
