Charles+Manson+Video+ZW

You question is to determine whether or not charles manson is a serial killer.

//How is like the serial killers that you chose for your projects?// Charles Manson isn't like other serial killers because one, his childhood started off in a life of crime, and he was messed up from the get go. MOst serial killers come out of no where with their desire to kill. Two, //he// himself wasn't notorious for killing. Manson had his //"family"// kill people.

//How is he different?// Charles Manson is different from a lot of the other serial killers that we all did projects on because some people might not consider him an actual killer. Because //he// never really killed his "victims," he can't be called a killer necessarily. His victims were his cult...the people who did the actual killing. I don't personally believe that anyone can be brainwashed into doing anything but apparently these people were. Regardless, i see them as the killers and not him. (Not defending Charles Manson, still a messed up cat.)
