At least they didn't insult hussein....

Here is a story that's been floating around for a little while.

The few surviving members of the Manson family, all incarcerated, are longing for freedom. And CNN wants to tug at your heart-strings for them.

Manson is a poor candidate for early release, even going so far as to recommend against it himself. But others who are starting to have health issues are hoping they can die at home, in bed, surrounded by their loved ones.

The problem is, they were asked to allow that for some other people back in the late 1960s, and they refused.

If, by now, you might have forgotten who actress Sharon Tate was, aside from the bride of now-defamed filmmaker Roman Polansky, she was a beautiful, talented young actress who was just starting to reach some real screen stardom. Her two most visible parts insofar as I am aware are in Polansky's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" which was among other things a showcase of her tremendous physical beauty, and one of the Dean Martin "Matt Helm" spy pictures, in which she played one of the many serviceable female sidekicks his character would go on adventures with.

Sharon rose to instant and lasting fame however when Manson and his "family" entered a Hollywood house and gruesomely terrorized then executed everyone there, including a teen aged boy who was visiting with his family, and Sharon, who, while being held down by one of the women in the "family" begged to have them spare her unborn baby's life.

No mercy was given.

Now it is four decades later and they want mercy.

In a society that is rotting from the neck up, that has started to consider that we can't win a fight against drugs so we should join the drug dealers, in a society where civil rights are being shown Manson "Family" level mercy, we now have to consider having these people let back into society.

Only under president hussein would this even be considered.

The argument that the family have all been model prisoners (for a while, according to a moment burned into my memory from one of the very few instances of watching CourtTV, even Charles Manson was a good prisoner, working with the prison doctor to administer injections to the patients.... no... really. I mean it... that's God's Honest Truth. They gave Charles Manson needles and told him to jab other prisoners.... yeeesh!).

I'm old-fashioned and , well, let's face it... I have a moral code. It's kind of endemic to my nature that I believe the punishment should fit the crime. These monsters would all have been executed years ago had the state of California not done it's touchy/feely part to give criminals the high life.

No amnesty, no early release, no parole, no mercy. Not unless they can restore to us that which they have taken from us.

I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
