This is the one that sticks in my mind. There was a drug route from Marseilles to the Carribean to Montreal to New York. I wonder what Pic and the boys know about all this? I wonder who CM is angry with in France?
Taken in Manson speak, the France thing could be Bobby Beausoleil, for he sometimes referred to him as the "frenchman".
So, he throws a little of his truth in with a bunch of goobly gook...so I wonder, looking back on the history between those too, I mean, Bobby too said Manson killed Hinman, and his lawyer at one point said that Bobby was a hostage... So, I wonder how much of a resentment, if any, Manson holds for Bobby.
Bobby was the pretty one that all the girls loved. LVH and Gypsy were more Bobby's girls than Charlie's. There is plenty of grounds for resentment even before the murders. If, in fact, the girls did do the murders as copycats to get Bobby out and then blamed them on Manson that would, of course, exacerbate that. I am not sure how many believe that theory. Who knows.
"I will have you removed if you don't stop. I have a little system of my own." To the judge, after being told he would be removed from the courtroom if he didn't cease with his interruptions of the proceedings. Chilling.
