Gary was a peaceful guy. Gary did grab the gun at one point, in self-defense. Unfortunately, Gary told BB he was going to turn him in to the police, and BB killed him to shut him up. Bobby did not intend, at the beginning of the ordeal, to kill Gary, or he would not have stitched up Gary's cut as he did. When Gary threatened to call the police, that was when BB decided to kill Gary. Bobby has stated this in interviews.toocrowdedinthishousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293639893667938423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-12553841618280309452011-08-22T15:31:12.115-07:002011-08-22T15:31:12.115-07:00It was not first degree murder.

At that point it was kill or be killed. Hinman had gotten the gun in his hands at some point. Bobby can say whatever he wants now, keeping in mind that the parole board will be reading it. Sometimes lawyers instruct their clients to say something that doesn't necessarily reflect the truth but resembles it. Omitting is not lying. And Bobby knows it would sound too cliche and innocent to say he was a hippie musician without violent inclinations. The parole board would interpret it as though he was attempting to completely exonerate himself.<br /><br />MDA or mescaline, whatever it was, specifics get fuzzy in memory over the years. The point is that Bobby was trying to make a bad deal good. If he didn't get the money back the Satans would be coming for HIM - not Hinman. <br /><br />Although Bobby wasn't one to take any shit from anyone - and not one to cower when faced with conflict - music was his chief passion.Max Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931165830559683001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-58785354028865633912011-08-22T09:28:00.346-07:002011-08-22T09:28:00.346-07:00It was still murder in anyone's book.

I wanted to be accepted by them, because I was still oriented more towards being a barbarian than a Hippy, and that lifestyle appealed to me. I thought that was what I wanted to be like, even though I really didn't know what they were—what I had mocked-up in my mind was sort of superimposed over them.

THAT'S what he was doing.<br /><br />Hinman's death was a result of a horribly rotten batch of MDA that Hinman sold the Straight Satans via Bobby. Bobby went to get the money back and Hinman refused. Bobby pleaded with him for 3 days before the incident erupted into an all out brawl in which Bobby killed Hinman.<br /><br />Reckless homicide or manslaughter, but NOT murder in ANY degree.Max Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931165830559683001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-24169036029113884182011-08-21T16:40:18.362-07:002011-08-21T16:40:18.362-07:00Scamblehead said:

That always made more sense to me than any claim of Charley's mystical powers of brain-washing.brownricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464358994525566519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-31539046421318673132011-08-21T13:28:11.844-07:002011-08-21T13:28:11.844-07:00Did you ever hear of John gotti doing a garbage ru...Did you ever hear of John gotti doing a garbage run?Max Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931165830559683001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-91022539785824890892011-08-21T03:35:48.942-07:002011-08-21T03:35:48.942-07:00TomG said;

They knew who was living there. Even Santa Clause knew who was living there. <br /><br />In reality, Melcher didn't do Manson any wrong. The Wilson's did when they changed the lyrics to his song without consulting with him first - and then conveniently avoided paying him.<br /><br />The kids may have been totally loaded (or totally coming down) in the Hendrickson footage but what they were saying was very profound and very true - philosophically speaking (yes, even Clem). Of course one would have to be an out-of-the-box thinker to "GET IT."<br /><br />They made Charlie the leader and he ran with it. It was the most control - hence the most FUN - he'd ever had in his life. <br /><br />Sure some of them wanted to "please daddy" but they all certainly had their own reasons for doing what they did.Max Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931165830559683001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14352935.post-64879725664293718192011-08-20T15:35:03.284-07:002011-08-20T15:35:03.284-07:00That's what I think too.

They got in way over their heads with drugs and were having problems with alot of people and it boiled over that summer.<br /><br />In effect, they already were a crime family. It wasn't as if the girls went into Chatsworth to do waitress jobs or work in stores. They were stealing, dealing, scamming, credit card fraud, robbing their own parents. <br /><br />Other than doing chores around Spahn Ranch, I never heard or read about any of them having jobs.<br /><br />The remarkable thing about this crime is the unity they displayed, for the most part, during the trial. Usually, during a trial, people try to save themselves.<br /><br />Which is what the girls should of done and after 40 years of incarceration, they painfully know.<br /><br />Were they brainwashed? To some extent, but not anymore than any young person trying to belong to a group of peers.<br /><br />But you are still responsible for your actions and you gotta have enough sense to say, Hey, things are getting a little crazy round here, I'll catch you all later.<br /><br />The first stolen car that came back to that ranch,that would of been my cue to climb up on the highway and move on.<br /><br />So they all had their chances to leave and they all had their chances to see things were going bad in a hurry.TomGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647303118718364687noreply@blogger.com
