Charles Manson has died.

I think we can all get on board that that is a good thing.

I'm hoping my f-i-l will follow his lead.

This is no way to treat one of our own....

Not that I'm hoping for his continued existence, but I can't find any verification of this on CNN or USA Today, even as a "breaking news" bulletin.

The only mention I find of it is on a site called "Now 8 News," next to an article about a woman who claimed she gave birth to Satan. Of course, if you believe in reincarnation, those two stories might be linked.

This news must have come from one of his usual sources.

Just a hint for you, BJ. You can't believe everything you see on the internet.

You did not hear this from the White House.....

I know there was a rumor about his death last month, but what I got today seemed to be legit. I'm going to withhold judgement for a bit.

You forgot the 5 nurses he was supposed to have killed, too. Jumping delve-deeper-dolt jehosaphat.

When it's confirmed, it will be top story news. Until then, I won't hold my breath.

not yet on TMZ, CNN or, yeah, always good to check Wikipedia--it gets updated quick with a famous person's death.

Withhold judgement? You already posted it as fact. The barn door is wide open.

I always try to withhold "judgement," since the preferred spelling is "judgment."

I shouldn't have copied and pasted BJ. I am very well aware of how to spell judgment, as it is the word that caused me to fall out of my 8th (7th?) grade spelling bee. Because of the dropped "e" in that "study listed" word, I choked and assumed the same would be true in "infringement." I was the alternate and attended the district-wide contest as such. I would have at least tied that, as I knew how to spell every word that was given.

That was on January 5th.

Okay, no it hasn't hit the news yet so someone was a bit premature. He is in hospice care, though.

From elementary school:

Judgment and the GM sign need no "e" to make them shine.

So you're saying it should be "judgmnt"?

Yup. You!

The legitimate news sources I find all say he was returned to prison. One mentioned that he SHOULD HAVE gone to hospice. Please cite your source.

Charles is still with us.

Claim: Infamous criminal Charles Manson has been found dead in his prison cell.

Sorry I didn't get here sooner.

Well, at least I didn't claim there had been a massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
