For one, I was always under the impression that Susan Atkins was Manson's Number One. I didn't get that at all through the book. In his multitude of interviews I've heard Manson say on more than one occasion that Susan Atkins is/was a trouble maker and that he didn't particularly care for her because she couldn't think for herself. Personally, I think Susan Atkins and Tex Watson are the most evil of the bunch. Atkins really gives me the heebie jeebies and I think there is something fundamentally wrong with her. This video, in particular gives me the creeps. Watch her facial expressions. Also interesting to note, at 2:40 or so in this video the host says the house was picked because "Tex knew the layout". I'm beginning to suspect that Tex and Frykowski might have known one another because Tex was a drug dealer and, according to recovered evidence, Frykowski was quite the drug user. That's exactly why I wanted you to read it. Those people didn't kill because Manson told them to. They killed because they had it in them to kill and Manson was a catalyst in bringing that forward. Manson gets the full blame, it seems, but in my opinion he's the least threatening of all of them.

I'll watch the video after I drop the girls off at school in a bit. And you're right, from all the pics I have seen of Susan Atkins she's just plain creepy looking. I think it's her eyes or something. Anyway, more on this in a bit.

The part that stood out right away in that video was at 3:44 when she's talking about the devils business and she kinda twitches her head to the side and her eyes go all wide. That was kinda disturbing.

She looks like a snake. She looks like she's saying things and moving and then checking the other person to see how they react. It's creepy.

Wow that's a shocker. Karma anyone? I wanted to watch that Larry King episode about the ranch tonight but man TV is so good on Thursdays, so many of my shows are on. Hope I didn't miss anything exciting.

Too bad they had to be humane about it. Let her deal with it without meds.

Read this bullshit: Prison officials may free Susan Atkins because she has the brain cancer, had one leg amputated and only has a short time to live. This is going to be a good one....DISCUSS!!!! www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-atkins13-2008jun13,0,4594356.story

If all had gone according to what the justice system deemed correct at the time then Atkins would have been dead via electric chair in 1974. She's living on borrowed time anyways and, IMHO, should never be released.
I don't like parole. I think life in prison should mean just that.
