He convinced a few people to kill a few other people. No, he's not anywhere near as bad as Hitler. This is a few people in California vs. six million Jews (not to mention other races) we're talking about.

That doesn't make what Charles Manson did excusable, obviously. He's a terrible man with a pretty fucked up mind. What else is there to say about this?

He was a really smart guy but was also fucked up in the head. Strange combination.

They made Sirius Black look like him (probably not intentionally, but they still look very similar, intentional or not), and it made Sirius extra scary in HP3.

Apparently Dennis Wilson got really chummy with him for a while according to Brian Wilson's book.
He used to have Charles over for dinner and to write music and have orgies. And then he realized he was nuts and that he might kill him.

There was someone else he went to too, I cant remember. I think he might have had something to do with Phil Spector at one time or another for a really small time.

I might be wrong and probably am.

What about Jim Jones, as long as the subject is up?

The subject of...indirect serial killers, basically?

I watched that CNN special about a year ago on Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple/Jonestown incident. Pretty gruesome stuff.

I don't understand how people are compared to Hitler when they didn't do nearly as much damage as Hitler. Also, I'd like to mention that Stalin made Hitler look like a peace-loving pussy

Manson was pretty sick, but his mannerisms are pretty entertaining, like that video JMV posted.

If anyone is interested he has taped interviews online that are decent. They're while he is in prison or something.

I don't think he is worse then Hitler, he seemed like a nice guy. Just got a little paranoid and has antisocial personality disorder.

Uh what? He was more fucked up than that, sir. Your typical mental patient doesn't believe he's the savior of all proper mankind and that he needs to kill white people in order to start a race war in which all blacks are wiped out he's hailed.

The typical mental patient doesn't have antisocial personality disorder.

He was able to start a family and a following so he had to have some kind of charm to him.
