You may be disturbed to learn that by reading this post you are now three degrees of separation from Charles Manson.
You should be relieved to learn that the penultimate link in that chain is a onetime psychiatric nurse.

I am not sure if Charlie did actually kill anyone. He was convicted under the joint conspiracy law rather than be charged with actually committing any murders himself.

Correct LSD. Charlie did not murder anyone.I find it interesting that we all know the name Charles Manson but can anyone name any of the murderers? Also the failed attempts of Mansons efforts for parole arewell documented, whilst at least 3 others remain incarcerated having had numerous parole requests refused.

Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme later gained infamy in her own right by being charged with attempting to assassinate President Gerald Ford (details are sketchy). She was also infamous because she was one of the few who remained faithful to Manson.
Per Wikipedia, she was released from prison in 2009, and moved to the small town of Marcy, New York. No information available regarding her relationship with her neighbors.
But kudos to Mr. Ford, who survived another assassination attempt seventeen days later. Those were truly simpler times, weren’t they?

Great stuff chaps. Does one think Red River may be a Trump fan? Also, how did she get the nickname Squeaky ? Perhaps it’s best not to know.

Disappointingly, she was named ‘Squeaky’ by George Spahn (80-year-old owner of the infamous Manson ranch in Chatsworth, California) because of the sound she made when he touched her.

One bullet in the cylinder
And in a moment of passion
Get the glory like Charles Manson”

Listening to this more closely than usual, disappointed to realise that Joey actually does sing ‘Charles’ (not ‘Chuck’ as I’d thought) .
