were the murders blamed on the hippie culture?

Ringo: Come on you know better. Manson and his group were actually so far removed from what hippe culture really was that they defame the name. Plus that the sheer violence of the killings speak to the nut job that Charlie is
Read Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugoluis (The scariest book and film I have ever read or seen)

No. If you read any book on the murders it will explain the the manson followers commited the murders because of Helter Skelter. They wanted to start a war. They have never denied it. They got on that stand and explained how they killed their victims. The hippy culture didnt end with Manson and his followers.

i like Kim Stanley Robinson's description of it..."...you previous hippie, you got fortunate and have been born interior the perfect little window and have been given to seize all the excess of happiness that historic previous ever produced, and additionally you blew it, you stood around and did no longer something mutually as the perfect reaganed decrease back into ability and close down all threat of substitute for a complete technology, you blew it in a 10-365 days party and staggered off stoned and complicit. You neither found out to do device politics nor dismantled the device. no longer one in each of you imagined what had to be finished. And so the backlash got here down, the reactionary ability shape, more suitable than ever."

No. Manson and his followers really did the deed.
That didn't end hippie culture in and of itself, but it certainly didn't help.
erm...just out of curiosity...why the interest in hippie culture and its downfall?

NO how dumb is that? They really happened and that Tate girl was murdered when she was pregnant. It didnt end the hippie counter culture either. Time did that.

The hippie culture ended when too many of the nitwits fell for the spiel of Biblethumpers. By the middle of the next decade they were right-wing rednecks.

Money killed the hippies... ever heard of a yuppie? And Manson is pretty open about every one of those murders. Something tells me he wouldn't sit in jail for a bunch of 'rich elites'.

Yeah, that's it. It's all a big conspiracy. Manson is actually in the CIA but nobody's told him the "counter-culture" has long since died. That's why he doesn't complain that he's still in prison for the "conspiracy" he committed. It's all part of it, y'know. (pitying shake of head.)

No, there was plenty of evidence to show that the Manson family did in fact commit those crimes.

Nope.
You know there were actual bodies in that house and Manson and his followers did not deny anything.
