      Great description. I don't care she had 53 years, but neither did her victims..Yes I know she didn't killed Sharon Tate's unborn baby, but she killed Mrs Labianca, who had a 15 year old child Unfortunately, the children discovered their bloody parents. People say to me I'm too emotional. I couldn't imagine the families pain. Someone said the Tate's family wouldn't care. That's insensitive they cared because it still a gross memory of their sister and unborn baby. RIP to all the victims 🙏

    Think about this for a moment...bank robbery occurs and one of the 4 robbers shoots and kills 2 people. All of the robbers contributed to their deaths even though they didn't pull the trigger and they all get life in prison w/o parole. Only one pulled the trigger but they are ALL responsible for the taking of another human life. That was a decision they made and the sentence should be enforced regardless of how well they acted in prison. Could they be a different person after so many years behind bars? Maybe, but is it fair and justice served to the people who were killed? They don't get a do over...they're dead. I'm glad Van Houten has remorse but that doesn't mean she should ever be free. Remember, she stabbed Rosemary LaBianca 16 times...clap your hands 16 times to get an idea of how many times she purposely pushed a knife into Rosemarys lower back...that is a tremendous amount of physical exertion and desire to ensure the death of another human. She should NEVER be free to walk with law abiding citizens again regardless of her accomplishments or "Model Prisoner" designation while incarcerated. Do the crime...do the time. All of it.

      Justice will never be fully "served to the people they killed". Quit being all rhetorical and hyperbolic. If you think someone who was willfully hands-on in a murder, far more than another separate person but still think they're both somehow just as guilty then that indicates that your brain is not working properly. The wiles of your idealist and logically shaky imagination do not dictate how judicial-based criminal sentencing works either. I know you're not that young (because for some reason older generations almost all type like that; same grammatical tone and everything) but you still come off as juvenile.

    Memory is an important thing as any Holocaust survivor will tell you. I re-call the Sixties very well. I was dis-affected, too, but I was lucky, I learned what my parameters were. I managed to stay away from hard drugs, abusive relationships, cults, crazies, and the like. For me, the Sixties died in 1969, when the Manson Family went on their rampage. Leslie Van Houten's release from prison is an injustice to all of those who were murdered and the families who have suffered because of their actions for over a half century. Let's hope that this will not set a dangerous precedent. The idea of killing a person in cold blood and somehow getting away with murder is repulsive. The dead are given no second chances.

What a travesty of justice. (Btw, I've read on other YT boards that people who believe as I and the Tate's do are just angry, out-of-touch moralists. Fine if that's what you believe.

      See to me, those people who feel sorry for how Manson brainwashed these "poor girls" are short-sighted. While he did use the fact that most of these people, girls and boys were somewhat defective or lost or troubled, and it is okay to feel that he did brainwash them with drugs and sexual assault and other things, I just believe that you can't create a person. Meaning, they had to have this somewhere down deep in their bones to do what they did, Manson or not. We all are capable of great and horrible things, but I cannot even relate in any way, shape, or form with these people - even at my lowest and lost points in my life, my most vulnerable, I have never thought of harming others or getting mine. I can't even think of plunging a knife into someone once or shooting someone or hanging them, let alone what they did.

They separated and tied up the married couple who lived there. They put cloth over their heads and bound them by light cables around their necks and hands. They stabbed Leno LaBianca. His wife heard him scream and screamed what are you doing to my husband? After that murdered both of these lovely people they wrote in their blood on the walls then ate their food and showered in their bathroom. This was one night after their "family" murdered 5 other innocent people including a 8 1/2 month pregnant woman. They laughed, giggled, and taunted the victims and their families during their trial. They were sentenced to death but the SCOTUS abolished the death penalty so they were given life except, of course, now one of the psychopaths has been released. When will Rosemary and Leno be released? When will the 5 Tate victims be released? What about Gary Hinman and Shorty Shea? Never. They terrorized CA and the rest of the country for months before they finally got them and now one of them is free. It's an absolute obscenity.

But at least they don't have to do it for her anymore. Best thing they can do with Tex Watson and Krenwinkel is remove their chances of parole and let the families rest. But I guess they are legally stuck following the criteria of this lame 50-year-old sentence.

    She’s a murderer who has been known to report enjoying the stabbing and killing of people and seen in court laughing about it. She can’t blame Manson for the joy she got out of killing. She wasn’t brainwashed by him, rather she found her equal in Manson and she is a true psychopath. There were other young adults who ran away from Manson bc they didn’t want to commit murder and other heinous crimes, but LVH didn’t.
    In one of her earlier interviews she said in a calm, polite voice, “I can’t feel sorry for what I did, they were just bodies” - she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing
    The question shouldn’t be whether or not she’s a danger today, the focus needs to be she’s a murderer and therefore needed to serve her life sentence for taking another’s life and forever causing pain and anguish to her victims families.
    A couple of her past parole hearings have popped up since her release, in those hearings she calmly admits to stabbing Rosemary Labianca “numerous times” not once “numerous”. She also plays the victim in these hearings and blames her actions on Manson taking minimal to no responsibility - she has a flat affect, not a single sign of real emotion shown or tear shed for her victims and their families. She’s the definition of a psychopath.
    What’s next? Lori Vallow is released in 20 yrs bc she says she’s sorry and Chad made her do it. Setting a very bad precedent letting LVH go free no matter what her age.

    Leslie Van Houten is not a victim. She was old enough to know that murder is wrong. She chose to do it.
    Everyone does stupid things when they are young, and they make mistakes, but brutal murder does not fit in that category. I am sure that there are others who were involved with Charles Manson who didn't have it in them to become murderers. Plenty of people have been in cults who did not kill others. Plenty of people used drugs such as acid, or LSD and they didn't kill people. The Manson women have portrayed themselves as victims all of these years. Maybe it eases their own conscience somewhat.

    I'm a 47 Year old French man so obviously, all I know about 1969 in USA came to me from films, music and testimonies. Yet I see this era in USA as the turning point from an extreme to the other extreme with nothing in between to moderate it.
    I see it very much as gas on one end and a candlelit on the other end. The encounter promised to be explosive.Love and hatred and one man to make the most of this chaos and all to his own privilege. Charles Manson. France knew an equivalent in 1968 but this clash between generations in the American culture could only lead up to that sort of tragedy.
    It always has and always will. This is what triggers wars.Why do you think Manson carved a swastika on his forehead ?
    Would you blame today's German people because their parents and grand-parents blindly believed and followed a miserable but resentful failed artist named Adolf Hitler ?
    Isn't it kind of a weird coincidence that both Hitler and Manson both were failed and resentful artists ? All of this paved the way to the arising of people like Manson and subsequently its followers just like humanity paves the way to wars.
    We are now paving the way to some future tragedies thinking we're making the world a better place.
    Freeing Leslie Van Houten establishes Manson's mind control as a cult leader. None of its followers was meant to kill anybody in the way they did had they not been under his mind control. We all do things that we don't want to do just because someone with a badge told us to do so. Don't we ?. We all obey someone because he or she holds a title and the power that came along with it.
    Manson's followers all found themselves at the very wrong place at the very wrong time, in a certain era were everyone was seeking love and they met Manson. Others like them in search of the same things met someone else and didn't kill anybody.
    I don't see John Lennon as a nice person either. He was a talented phony and a bully. Nothing else. He made the most of the situation in his own way but he was a misogynistic bastard who mocked disabled people while on stage. Yet, he is somehow remembered as a "peace and love icon" because followers are blind and prone to forgive anything their idol does or says. His public actions paved the way to his death and eventually he got killed by someone who happened to be going through the same path than Manson's followers.

    The trial was a tour de force for prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. His 1974 book “Helter Scelter” is quite good. Also enjoyed his 2008 book “The Prosecution of George W Bush for Murder”

      My college friend and I were amazed at his bravery, there was a judge who was murdered by the family, or disappeared, bugliosi had balls of steel to go after justice
