#2 Your luck is very bad if you are an acid-dropping murderer and neither Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown nor Gavin Gruesome will come through for you.

#3 WTF? Does he think she's a DJT supporter?

Maybe she needs to change her name to Garcia or Castro.

#5 Probably the only thing I'll ever agree with that Newsom has done. His meds kicked in or he had a lucid moment?

#6 I never said Newsom is stupid, just sleazy as hell, and this is an issue that is simple enough even for Californians to understand. I doubt seriously that he gives a rat's ass about Van Houten but he knows he's toast in the next election if he ever grants parole to any member of the Manson cult. That whole Manson thing traumatized California and especially Los Angeles. He can't afford to have Hollyweird turn on him.

Just what kind of threat is this old lady?

#8 She'd have been a threat to Newsom's career if he paroled her. Other than that, probably not much. But I'm OK with letting her rot in prison.

#9 By that logic even ISIS brides are not much of threats. But we don't want them in our society. She represents something vile, an idea of animal hedonism that can still find many takers in American youth. Do keep in mind how many crazies wrote letters to Manson.

Besides, part of retributive justice is also that the recipient shant enjoy what he/she has deprived others of.

#10 My mind drifts to the recent release of the American Taliban. Good logic there...
