Manson Family member, and the cutest murderer with a bloody "X" carved into her forehead Leslie Van Houten has been granted parole after serving more than 40 years for slaughtering innocent people in the middle of the night. California Governor Jerry Brown still has 120 days to decide whether or not to make this official. There's been no word yet about what her plans are if she ever does see the free world again but if I was going to judge by the most current picture of her, I'd guess she was going to move to Austin Texas, buy a Prius and a cat, shop at Whole Foods and protest Ronald Reagan. She would protest Trump but she has to get up to speed. She's a little behind the times and Richard Nixon was still president when she went to prison and it takes a while to figure out which Republican everyone thinks is a Nazi so it can be overwhelming.
