"Mr. and Mrs. America-you are wrong.
I am not the King of the Jews nor am
I a hippie cult leader. I am what you
have made of me and the mad dog devil
killer fiend leper is a reflection of
your society . . . Whatever the outcome of
this madness that you call a fair trial
or Christian justice, you can know
this: In my mind's eye my thoughts
light fires in your cities."

Statement issued by
Charles Manson after
his coviction for the
Tate-LaBianca murders

Ladies and Gentlemen Charlie has spoken against the foolish public.
He lets it be known that he is clear minded, unlike the rest of society.
He has already lit the fires in the cities, he is just here to reap the ashes.
