The amazing thing is realizing after all these years that Charles Manson never murdered anyone. Some other hippies did the dirty deed and he was blamed for being the mastermind. It's especially weird because Manson is one of the few names people bring up in conversations whenever they want to depict the worst kind of evil. But in reality they are just looking at the swastika on his forehead and picturing all the butchering he must have done.

I'm pretty sure Hitler didn't kill any jew personally(well,not that I heard of), but he manipulated people to do so.Manson manipulated other people to cause carnage so he could escape unharmed and begin it again in another place. That's why he was considered so dangerous. He wasn't your run-of-the-mill criminal.

Yeah but if you read any crime account story where a man and a woman are lovers and the man carries out the dirty work even though the woman is the mastermind, this point is always stressed to remove accountability from her actions.

Meanwhile, it's completely the opposite in Manson's case.
