The Death Of Charles Manson

I am from Manson, Iowa. A small town outside the more known town, Fort Dodge. I was born into a family that keeps together even though we are states apart. My mother was the one who raised me, I may know my biological father's name, but I don’t know his story and why he didn’t want to partake in my life. This has never stopped me from expressing myself in ways that was different from the people in my hometown. I would quietly listen to the teacher and doodle in my notebooks, causing me to not pay attention as well as I should have. Growing up however I was a loud kid, I was well known among my friends. I had a large variety of acquaintances but I had one best friend who I could never replace. She understood me like no other, people thought

The 1960s were a volatile era of social and political turbulence – a majority of which was centered in culturally progressive areas (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, etc.). In 1969, Charles Manson, an American criminal, rose to infamy with his orchestration of seven gruesome murders in Los Angeles, California. What's even more shocking than the murder scenes, was the fact that Manson did not perpetrate any of the murders himself, but instead convinced others to commit the crimes for him: the murderers had been done by the Manson Family, a cult Manson himself had created. Manson’s total control over his followers marked him as a manipulative and cunning psychopath, however the development of his cult was largely due to the 1960s

Murder is the willful killing of one human being by another. In 2004 there was 490,000 international homicides. 1,699 people were killed in California in 2014. East St. Louis, IL. is #1 city with the most murders in America. There has been 27 murders, 62 rapes, and 186 robberies in East St. Louis. I can't imagine taking another person's life and I think majority of people I know will say the same. I have found a man that has taken many lives from people. Charles Manson is an american cult leader whose followers carried out several murders in the late 1960s.

Most people equate 1960’s American culture with an idealistic view that it was all peace signs, “flower power”, and the old adage of “sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll”. While in some aspects that was true, especially in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco where the Hippie Counter Culture Movement began, many people also forget that there was a much darker side to this period of history. According to Walsh (2010), the 1960’s “was a decade of extremes, of transformational change and bizarre contrasts: flower children and assassins, idealism and alienation, rebellion and backlash. For Many in the massive post-World War II baby boomer generation… it was the best of time and the

Charles Manson is well known around the world for the infamous murders he orchestrated throughout the 1960’s. When hearing the name “Manson,” two words that immediately come to mind are crazy and murders. I believe Manson is insane, and should be in jail for life. Although he did not personally commit murders, he had other people that trusted him, do it for him. Manson manipulated people all around him and could get people to murder whenever he asked them to.

People typically connect the end of Camelot to JFK’s murder, well, I believe that's not true and here's why; The Manson Family murdered and terrorized more than 35 American families. Consequently since Charles Manson had such a terrible childhood, he turned to crime and violence.

Sunlight leaked from the small hole in the wall. Unlike the ridiculously good weather, ear piercing- screaming, devastated crying and wicked laughter caused goosebumps on Soon-Young’s arms. She lazily rubbed her eyes. Her whole body felt sore- her muscles ached painfully each time she attempted to stand up. Soon-Young blinked her eyes. She wished that she was experiencing a vivid hallucination after what she saw. She realized she wasn’t in home.

The diffused light became a blinding glare as Toni swam back to the surface of reality. Her head felt as if it were being pounded with a sledgehammer. There was a thick silence around her, broken only by a steady beeping sound in the background. She vaguely felt numerous tubes and needles poking into her body.

A serial killer is a person who kills a number of people. They act in a series of 5 or more murders with a break period between each murder. Serial killers can go for months and years before they are usually caught. The victim is most likely the same for every killer- a prostitute or a hitchhiker -someone who, if they were to go missing would probably not be noticed (cite). Their victims may also have the same or similar attributes in gender, age, race or general look. Serial killers also stick by their modus operandi closely but may change it with when needed.

The news account I choose discussed the Tate Murder of 1969. CBS news gave a briefly detailed report of the scene when police arrived. The police had no suspects. Days later and roughly 15 miles away a husband and wife were killed within their home. Even though both murder scenes had words written in blood, the police did not think the murders were related.

First, I chose this case because of the reverberation of Charles Manson and his crimes. I first had knowledge of the Charles Manson case after it was referenced in the TV show, Criminal Minds, after a cult killed 7 people.

John F. Kennedy severed as the 35th President of the United States of America from January 1961 until November 1963. His presidency was shortly lived due to the fact he was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, while on a campaigning trail with the hopes of regaining his presidency for a 2nd term. On November 22, 1963 at 1230 p.m. while riding in a car with his wife First lady Jackie Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally and his wife Nellie Connally; President Kennedy was shot in the throat once, in the upper back, and with fatal shot hitting him in the head. Many people speculate that it was Lee Harvey Oswald who was charged with the crime but not convicted because he was later killed by Jack Ruby a mobster on live TV. Oswald wasn’t the only person that people believed to have killed JFK. According to an article written by Ashley M. Williams for USATODAY there have been six conspiracy theories on who killed John F. Kennedy: The Central Intelligence Agency, The Mafia, The Soviets, Lyndon B. Johnson, Two Shooters, and The debunker umbrella man theory ( “Who shot JFK? 6 conspiracy theories”). All these theories are great theories, but none really pin point Lee Harvey Oswald as the killer, let’s take a look at the CIA theory, what would be the motivation for killing the president, according to an article written by David Jackson for the USATODAY he states, “The Central Intelligence Agency may have played a role in his death.

harles Manson was born on November 12,1934 in Ohio. He is known for his notorious killings of Hollywood star ( Biography 1). He was interviewed by Tom Snyder about his life before and after he was prosecuted for the crimes he committed. The relationship between the interviewer, Snyder, and Manson caused the interview to lose its credibility. Even Though serial killers are inimical, the interview denies their sociological factors and external events that make a serial killer. Rather Snyder, rejects their essential humanness. An interview should allow the interviewee to demonstrate the real them however, Snyder intentionally tried to get Manson to react negatively to his questions.

I looked outside to see the ugliest monster that I could ever image. I had heard so much it school about the black days and the death cloud, but this is not anything thing like what I had imagined. I could hear the howling and screaming of 7000 feet of dust pulled from 1000's of miles barreling over my home stead.

How does someone get sentenced to death row for murders without actually killing a single person? For someone whose specialty is brainwashing and cult-building, this is quite the simple feat. In the words of Charles Manson, “We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.” To even remotely comprehend the mind of Manson, one must dive headfirst into his turbulent past, multiple murders, and current imprisonment.
