Charles Manson: The Hippy Cult Leader Who Put a Nation on Trial
The creator of ‘The Family’ brought the Glorious Sixties to its knees.
Do not be fooled by those kind eyes, that sloppy crooked smile, and that general air of ease. With evident charisma oozing out of him lies the very cunning interior of the criminal mastermind: Charles Manson. This cult leader and the felon was one of the most notorious villains of the twentieth century.
This man, along with his creation of misfits: The Family, bought the sixties to a halt and scared Hollywood out of wits. Out of his abundant crimes, undeniably the most famous and perhaps the most bloody are the Tate-LaBianca murders. These are incidentally also what brought about his ultimate end.
Having spent most of his adult life in jail even before being arrested and trialed on brutal murder Charles Manson is oddly one of the most infamous men in modern-day America, almost romanticized, the topic of major Hollywood inspiration. Perhaps nothing is better known than the Tate-LaBianca murders, for that irony is also what brought his ultimate ruin.
