In Cult Lingo: She's "Moved On"

"[Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley] said [Susan] Atkins, 60, was not a good candidate for compassionate release because she has 'failed to demonstrate genuine remorse and lacks insight and understanding of the gravity of her crimes.'"
-- Andrew Blankstein, on the former Charles Manson follower (and convicted murderer) with brain cancer, in the Los Angeles Times.

Okay, here's my take on this.

Criminals, of any stripe, deserve their sentences.

Number two, I have a cat who can't "meow." The best she can accomplish is a squeak, hence her nickname, "Squeaky Fromme."

I look at a picture of Sharon Tate, and I think that, if anything, the courts have been far too lenient on Manson and his gang.
