The question about his Mom and Dad stopped him cold.  He showed true pain in his face.  That would be a great place to start to explain his pathology.

Guy never had a chance as a kid.

Very sad to watch his parole hearings, from watching the dummy goon behind a chained and handcuffed man white knuckling his baton so he can seem important, to the useless parole board members playing an hours long game with a man who didn't kill anyone doing 3 times more time than people who do kill someone, knowing before he even entered the parole hearing that they weren't giving him a parole, but they still drag out the silly game. Manson was no saint but none of us are, and his life from childhood was a complete tragedy

It’s interesting his mother was a tragic clueless young girl and he became surrounded by tragic clueless young girls.

People  with knowledge, without wisdom  can drive them mad !

“Each one of you is somebody. I’m nobody”

He was born without a name, on his birth certificate the doctor put “noname manson” as his name

The dude in the glasses is the biggest liar in the room.

Not saying he was a good man, but he was treated as a scapegoat. Way too intelligent for this panel, so-called government officials.

I love the way he answers pointless questions that he doesn’t want to answer.

The man behind him is waiting to pounce

I don't know if Manson is mad or bad, but I can tell you that it would be laughable that those on that parole board could try to state they were professionals and keep a straight face. As deranged and misdirected as Manson might be the panel are completely disorganised and unprofessional. It's shameful that the State would pay a salary for that type of performance. It seems clear that THEY should be put in front of a professional conduct panel and made to explain what exactly they think they are doing, other than poorly reading off sheets of paper, that could justify their salaries.

Pay attention to what he said at the end. The farms won’t produce. (Corporate Farming) modern food has in some cases 80% less nutrients than in 1960

If he had gotten free and got a YouTube channel or a podcast it would have been really entertaining

this parole officer,  "board member" is a classic bureaucrat sadist.

That parole board are a bunch of stooges.

Manson,  total product of a system that let him down.

I'd roll laughing if a board member said " what the F are you talking about "?

Charles Manson would not have known what to do if he had gotten out of prison after spending time in prison for 20 years or less with the times changing when he was incarcerated.  And let's face it, they never intended to release him from prison and were just playing games with him, giving him the run-around and false hope.  They should have just given him life without the possibility of parole then he wouldn't have to go through these false parole boards hearings.

Watson and the girls needed the most severe punishment.

The man is trying to survive in the prison world!!!
