"He was the nicest boy you would ever want to meet". There are at least seven people who would beg to differ with that statement. There were plenty of people who went to L.A. in the '60's and managed to avoid becoming drug dealers and/or getting involved with murderous hippie communes. He was as lazy AF, didn't want to work, wanted to sell drugs and sleep all day and steal dune buggies and get high. Hope he rots in prison till the day day he kneels over and croaks. I just don't understand the logic of somebody who was an "A" student in high school just going out and murdering perfect strangers just because some pos midget crazy ass ex-con told him to.

You seem to miss the point, it is all about how he transformed from one to the other. There are lots of people that get mixed up in cults, and it is fascinating. Look at what happened in Jonetown, the heavens gate, and others. Your comment is rather ignorant and shows a lack of reasoning.

@@kinglicks5646 YOU seem to miss the point. There were plenty of people who joined Manson and his band of nuts. As soon as those creeps started practicing with knives and the talk started turning to killing people, those with a moral compass and a conscience left the group. Those who stayed and killed people were sociopaths long before they met Manson. Manson handpicked the people he sent out to kill. He picked those who were mean and sociopathetic. Just because Watson was a good student and played football does not mean he was a good person. He went to L.A. and instead of getting a job and living an honest life by going to work every day and paying his bills like a normal human being does, he decided to deal drugs. Your comment is ignorant and lacks insight.

im just curious how Representative of the town that footage really was? it was just showing a fairly small run down half abandoned looking area. is that what the whole place really looks like, is that the actual area he would have been hanging out and playing and a child and teen. just wondering, i grew up on the poor southside of Oklahoma City in the late 70s through 80s and there were areas around me that looked very similar to that. areas i would guess had been run down and not really grown or changed since the 60s, but it certainly isnt completely representative of the whole city or even that side of town.

Texas is littered with small towns just like this. And I completely agree with the above comment...not much to do... I spent my teenage years running through cow pastures and chasing rainbows. We would jump in a car and head for where we could see rain on the horizon, get out and stand and dance in the rain and when it passed us over we'd look for more. It's sometimes unbearably hot and on the plains, where I grew up, not many trees for shade. It's a childhood that I would never change and I think you have to be a Texan to really understand..
