most likely to escape.



Lynette Fromme 1966
Redondo Union High School.




I guess there were no categories for
Most Likely To~
  Attempt a Presidential assassination.
 Attack a fellow inmate with a claw hammer.
Escape from a federal prison.
Have a scuffle with an Inside Edition camera person when all you are trying to do is go to Walmart.

    Yeah, a screw came loose.

    But that's our Squeaky. You never know what she might say or do, only that she believes it in her earnest, innocent way.

    It's one of the few decent pics of her.

    I note late comedian Phil Hartman is listed as Happy-go-lucky 'girl.'



    As for Lynn, a 'real' girl who one moment calculatingly describes her 'carnal knowledge' of a gun and in the next can sound/look cherubic.


    Reminds me of the song 'Smiling Faces' by 'The Undisputed Truth' -


    'Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend

    Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within

    Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth uh

    Smiling faces, smiling faces
    Tell lies and I got proof'


    Torn between the paradox of what the M Family did/may have done to others and what they may have suffered themselves by way others during their formative years, portions compassion and revulsion, if not necessarily equal...

    We may all be guilty of looking at things from our sober, middle-age, worldly, internet point of view.

    Think of things from their disgruntled teenage years, in a particularly rebellious era, when America was embarked in a military campaign in which it couldn't quite bring positive results.

    Think of things in their weed, acid, amphetamine addled minds. Because as good as you might believe that you are, all of us are a hop, skip and a jump from evil.

    My favorite Squeaky kooky stunt was when she and Sandra dressed up in hooded robes and called the press out to a cemetary at night. There's that famous pic of Squeaky pointing at a gravestone as if she's in a 1950's film noire B-horror flick. In her mind she thought she was saving the earth. I suspect she had gone insane at that time. I have to wonder if the newspaper photographer was scared or was he laughing at Squeaky?
    She has been described at perfectly lucid until you mention Manson. Then she goes bonkers.
    I suspect she had serious mental issues. Perhaps she was an antisocial personality with manic episodes. I think the best thing she did was learn to just shut the eff up. It's impossible to deal with Squeaky when she thinks she's saving the world. That side of her is her crazy side. Sandra knew how to manipulate Squeaky's crazy side. I feel sorry that Squeaky had to serve 35 yrs in prison. That's a long long time behind bars living in the same little room as her toilet. There's no doubt she suffered a lot in her life due to her uncontrollability.

    This is very good stuff lol

    I was just looking through my high school yearbook to see what superlatives I might throw in...

    most schools have a class clown category..

    but we actually had one for "Craziest"

    Now who in Charlies family do you give that one too??? ( knowing now that Clem turned out to be the most prosperous of them)

    we are not all 'a hop skip and jump from evil'. To put us 'all' in the category that the Manson Family is in is a bit silly, wouldn't you agree?

    "Craziest" would have to go to Sandra because she was always in a nut-mode. Everything she ever said was crazy. Her eyes looked crazy. I wouldn't call Squeaky the craziest because she had her calm moments. She wasn't "on" all the time. Sandra never acted normal because she was crazy 24/7. She never turned it off. She was so crazy Charlie eventually told her to eff off.

    Mr Poirot replies:

    I think in totale the 60s generation had a negative effect on America. I would not say this about any other generation. For instance: take their famous slogan "never trust anyone over
    30". I don't think it dawned on them that they were only a few years away from being 30 themselves?

    The way Patty sees it, Squeaky was a true cultist. The Family's philosophy for her was reality, perhaps in a similar way to how reality for jihadists causes them to do terrible things in the name of something larger and more important than our individual beings, something to be "feared." Patty does not condone, Patty only seeks to understand. When you believe so DEEPLY in something, there is no limit to what you might do. And from this perspective, Lynette appears most certainly perfectly "sane."

    For the record, Patty is very curious as to whether Lynette was protesting the Wal Mart, or shopping in it?

    I have heard Squeaky is on permanent parole. She can not now nor will she ever be allowed to speak publically.

    Does anybody know if this is the case?
