It seems the "Manson World" got quite a scare last night, when unofficial reports led some "Manson supporters" to believe, that Charlie had "taken a turn for the worst" healthwise.
Loose reports (on social networks) indicated that Manson was placed on a ventilator last night, and "wasn't doing well".
In a nutshell, erroneous reports suggested that Manson was on his death bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm never one to believe anything (until it's reported by the Associated Press)... so I waited.
As it turns out, Manson has COPD and receives "regular breathing treatments and oxygen", which is why he wasn't returned to his PHU cell last night.
As of now, the "Manson community" is busy reassuring everyone that Manson is completely fine. The entire matter was "routine treatment for COPD".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my personal opinion (regarding Manson's health), for what it's worth:
Charles Manson isn't on his death bed, but he's not the picture of health either.
The bottom line:
Manson "haters" and Manson "supporters" both exaggerate.
The "general public" and "press" would love to see Manson croak. It's a story ( i.e., a piece of history) which would sell lots of newspapers... and probably spawn countless shitty books and movies. The average person (on the street) has no use for Charles Manson on a personal level. The fact is, "Manson on his deathbed" is a story which most folks can't wait to hear (buy and/or sell).
On the other hand...
"Manson supporters" consistantly exaggerate Manson's health and vigor. If you listen to "Manson supporters", you'd think Manson was gonna live for another 20 years!
Somewhere between these two extremes, lies the truth.
As I said previously:
Manson isn't on his death bed... but he's not the picture of health either. He's old and he has lung disease. Do the math.
