Read their websites (we have/ we do--wife is a history/religious studies person interested in cults)--

Watson, Atkins---they went to being "Born Again Christians."

Read their stuff---they are still "followers"--just of a different genre now. They aren't all that different.

No, we don't wish bad deaths on anyone, but please remember that these people essentially scared the shit out of the US at the end of the "summer of Love" period. They gave communes, hippies, etc a pretty bad name. They did a lot more to fuck up the culture of the country than just kill a bunch of people.

There are people that write to Manson NOW that want to "join the family."

Krenwinkle--seen her latest photo? The one where she is doing the "signal" to the followers outside?

Seriously, be careful about the "they changed" stuff with these people. They are still very, very dangerous, and do NOT need to be out of jail.
