Serial+Killer+WG

1. Is Charles Manson a serial killer? Charlie Manson is mentally a serial killer, but he isn’t physically. He is one of the most well known “serial killers” that ever lived. The worst thing he physically did was robbing, and he held up stores, that is what questions his reputation as a serial killer. One of the traits of a serial killer is having a dark past. Even in the movie, it showed he disobeyed many other things having to do with the law. It is almost like he had “robots”, and held the controlling device. He literally made people do his sick work for him. This is what set him separate from other serial killers. A normal serial killer does his/her own work and then leaves their trademarks. Charles never did, he told his family what to do.

2. Are family house members serial killers? Yes they are. They were told to do it, but all humans have the power of choice. They are the ones who physically are the serial killers. They did the killing, and they left the common writing of blood, saying “pig”.

3. Do they all deserve the death penalty? This is the easiest question out of the three to answer. It doesn’t matter if Charles persuaded them to do the crimes; they killed multiple people in disgusting ways. The amount of stabbing and shooting that took place in the killings made the family members seems pure evil. Those criminals deserve the death penalty for the multiple crimes they committed. Charles also deserves the death penalty. Although he did not physically do the crimes, a man with such a dangerous existence, and controlling mind is risky to have out of bars. He and the other people that did the killing all deserve to die.
