The "Killer" Charisma Will Never Cease to Exist

Charles Manson's charisma is almost like the Twinkie. It ceased to exist for a small amount of time, but then it appeared again. His fatal attraction with Afton Burton is just one of the many manipulations he's bred. He's been able to manipulate, seduce, and brainwash many people; women especially. Even in the Sixties he had the "vibes" or aura, as our now modern people call it, where many kids would want to follow him. With his chilling charisma and undeniable gravitational vibes, people are sucked into his cultic vortex of "theories". Even behind the Corcoran, Californian prison bars, he's still been able to have a grasp on the outside world. When Burton was a teenager (she began a relationship with Manson when she was just 17), she began showing rebellious behaviors towards her Baptist and Christian parents, whom found this very out of the ordinary. Afton Burton began to smoke marijuana, eat mushrooms, skip the weekly Sunday masses, not crushing her parents' dream of being a preacher's wife. Rather, she wanted to be betrothed to an insane manipulator, a person with the characteristics of schadenfreude and sadism. The term "schadenfreude" is German for a person who takes pleasure from causing other people pain. It literally means "harm-joy"; "schaden"- harm and "freude"-joy. Whether she's under Manson's brainwashing or his oh so charming prison romance, she still believes in her 80 year-old sweetheart's innocence. Although he didn't exactly touch or inflict any sort of physical pain on someone, he enjoyed the emotional gratification from having the "Manson Family" carry out his every dirty deed. That's why the jury decided that he should carry the burden of all the murders. He wanted to trigger a race war, something that would never begin to happen. He believed that when he started this Apocalyptic race war, he and the Manson Family would take refuge in the desert, where they would come back to what was left of civilization unscathed and to take control. Unfortunately for little Charlie, this would never happen. Too bad Afton Burton is too naïve and "in love" to carry about what was left of Helter Skelter.. at least for now.
