It's the perfect crime. He sends his little 'robots', they take all the chances, and if they are caught he can honestly say 'I didn't do it' and the rest of the family can vouche for him. He was there with them all night. Like most serial killers, Manson has a higher-than- average IQ.

His big mistake was to underestimate Vincent Bugliosi. Manson didn't count on "The Bug" as Charlie called him, being less like a bug and more like a terrier. Bugliosi sank his teeth in and wouldn't let go. Not until Manson sat in the 'chair'. (Califonia's electric chair)

Manson was a cult leader. He used classic brainwashing techniques on his 'family'. Using very effective psycology to strip them of their worldly goods, family relationships, and most importantly, their sense of self.

To look at Charles Manson now in the twenty-first century, it may be hard to imagine how this tiny, (5ft. 2in.) high school dropout and career criminal could have caused all the 'hoopla' that he is responsible for. In the environment of the 1960's it makes more sense. It was a time of great upheavel, especially for the young people, specifically speaking, the counter-culture who's center was the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, CA. Young people shed parental restraints and values, many times personel hygiene and occasionally their clothes. The atmosphere was ripe with impressonable young minds enhanced by a first taste of freedom and unlimited LSD. Enter Charlie. Spouting love and harmony, freedom and music, using brainwashing techniques learned from many years living among other inmates, he had relatively no resistance. As did his hero Hitler, who was first embraced as a 'saviour' for the German people, so too, was Manson to the 'flower children' that had the misfortune of falling under his Svengali-like spell.

Anyone that studies Manson can plainly see, above all things, he was a cult leader. Not much different than Rev. Moon, Jim Jones, and David Koresh with the same deadly results. Once relingquished to another, the power to gain back control over one's life is not so simple.

In 1625 King Charles marries a Catholic. In 1628 he collects the tax without the Parliaments permission, so Charles and the Parliament split up. In 1637 Scotland rebel against the new prayer King Charles published. In 1640 Charles wants to collect money to fight Scotland, so he joins with the Parliament again. In 1641 a Catholic plot is to be feared. In 1642 Charles arrests 5 MPs, so the Parliament is extremely annoyed. They also argue about religion. A well as this the Parliament want to control the army. Now the Parliament go too far, so the King and his followers leave London. Then the Civil War began. King Charles and his followers called the royalists, and the Parliament and their followers called the round-heads are against each other. The Civil War takes place during 1642-1651. Even though King Charles has a rich army, they do not work well together and aren't as thoughtful as the Parliament. This is why King Charles lost the Civil War. In 1648 King Charles persuades Scotland to invade England, but King Charles' plan get discovered and so he is arrested and then was executed.


Were Charles Manson's biological children adopted out?

I believe with the breakup of the Manson family some of those children where taken by the Child Protective Services. Now as to which ones, if any, were Mansons it's hard to say. But some were placed in foster homes and a few were adopted out. So it is very possible that Manson's offspring were placed into homes for adoption.
