My wife felt it was so important that she actually had to CALL me. On a PHONE! Now she is calling my mon. A text AFTER calling my mom would have sufficed. (Both the wifey and mom are crazy about serial killers) ---

In 1969, I was 18 years old when I heard the news about the crimes committed by this bottom of the barrel, scum bag, creep, shithead. So damned unfair that he lived 48 years after he committed his crimes. Even if you don’t believe in the death penalty, this rotten scurrilous son of a bitch bastard just might change your mind. (Think I’ll stop this post right here before I get thrown out of the SDMB.) ---

I suspect to avoid anyone making his grave into a shrine, his cremains will be spread at an undisclosed location. ---

> [@wolf\_meister](#): > > Even if you don’t believe in the death penalty, this rotten scurrilous son of a bitch bastard just might change your mind. No. I still think we should be better than murdering scum and not execute people. Given he could be kept locked up and prevented from harming others, that was the moral choice. > [@Locrian](#): > > Good riddance. Ditto. > [@](#): > > And any “family” member who requests leave to die at home, fuck them too. That wasn’t the deal. Die behind bars like your savior did. Actually, Manson died in a hospital. He was not a free man, though. I agree his “family” should remain incarcerated until such time as final hospitalization may be required. > [@wolf\_meister](#): > > **Ranger Jeff** > I suspect to avoid anyone making his grave into a shrine, his cremains will be spread at an undisclosed location. > > * * * > > Perhaps a good location for his remains would be to spread those around the rest rooms of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant? ^ Like. Except that would qualify as a “disclosed location”. I had thought of charging a small fee for people to line up and piss on his corpse/grave, all proceeds going to the remaining loved ones of the murdered, but the Chernobyl toilet will do. ---
