It's been 44 years since one of the most awful murders in the history of the US. The murder of Sharon Tate still sends chills up the spines of individuals after nearly 50 years. Charles Manson at nearly 79 years of age is still getting parole hearings and everyone involved is still trying to get out. You have to wonder what drove Manson and what that night must have been like.I can only assume it was a hell on earth for how ever long those victims were tortured by those psychopaths.
What that day in 1969 showed was the fact that whatever black and white lie existed in the 40's and 50's was just that, a lie. This murder was a statement that all that repression led to the nurturing of sick and twisted individuals. Charles Manson could have at the very least been stopped at some point prior to this horrible crime but hindsight is just that, hindsight.
Unfortunately 44 years later we can't undo what was done but we can wonder. Could this have been avoided? Where would Manson and the rest of those psychos be? Can you imagine if Manson had taken a different route. Imagine if Charles Manson would have become an insurance agent for Met Life. Perhaps Manson would have been a successful financial advisor with a slew of Edward Jones offices in various states.
What happened that night in 1969 was a tragedy that cut many lives short. Perhaps Sharon Tate would still be alive and she would would have had her baby and shortly there after she would have divorced Polanski. With Sharon Tate alive and divorced chances are Christopher Jones would have continued to act and married Tate, probably having three or four kids.
44 years later it's all speculation about events from a bygone era. No one will ever know what could have been, they will only know what was.
