Although I've only assumed that he was the leader/"cultist" who ordered the Tate murder and all surrounding that night. But he sure did make an impact on many things including: Mental Health, Crime Profiling, Journalism, and more; The man behind the bars has persons in every generation who know about him in various ways.<br /><br />However much he "played" psychoses or really has Mental Health issues can probably not be accurately diagnosed at any point, unless it shows up physically in tests. That ability is becoming more and more possible as humanity climbs technologically. Despite this, there is probably more myth than fact. <br /><br />Of course I am not saying he is a decent person, but to my mind just came what Dr. Loomis says to describe Michael Meyers at the end of "Halloween" and also resounds from his mouth the same point. This means that, although Charles Manson is only a twisted human, there will be lore for generations to come as to whether "he" is back, or another trail of real-world murders occurs; it will lay within the minds of average citizens, it will be amplified by media, copy-cats would run about as we wonder, "was he 'pure evil'?"<br /><br />It seems that this books author may be a bit twisted. I can not say for certain that his drive into his profession was made on morbid fascination or if he really seeks to help people to lessen mental burdens. It is quite different for someone to want to be an FBI Agent because of the, let's say gallant, way they had seen FBI in real news or as characters. I would not be surprised if this Marlin had aspirations such as Dr. Josef Mengelé. Yet I will not judge the reasoning as long as he is there to help and not as "Dexter" from TV and the Novels "Darkly Dreaming Dexter".<br /><br />A little different for me to set out to meet Brian May and Roger Taylor (AND John Deacon), than to get tips on "Murders and Executions" from, was it Mr. Batemen? from "American Psycho". <br /><br />I am happy to hear this book has a different slant and actually was not the 7th and 8th cameras' depiction of how the crimes actually happened.<br /><br />Paz, Bro!<br /><br />JFYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
