Susan Atkins High School Photos

We here at mansonblog have a pretty good collection of Family high school yearbook photos (see here). We had even more, but then came the great crash of 2012.  Kudos to you, dear reader, if you have been with us that long.  Oh, the stories we could tell!

Anywhoo, you have probably already seen these but come on, won't you take one for the team, help us to rebuild our once more extensive collection? Patty's good friend Thomas G., who suggested this post, would appreciate it, and so would Patty.








And as a bonus, here is a baby pic.

    Are you sure pic #5 isn't a still from 16 Candles?

    To be fair, if it wasn't for Susan we might never have heard of either Manson or Squeaky.

    Matt - sometimes everything you write sounds downright dirty.

    When I see these pictures I feel this was a tragedy on every level. Principally for the victims of course, but not only them. Very sad post.

    And now I wonder whether I would feel the same if the pictures were of Watson.

    Anyone have a baby/toddler pic of the psychopath?

    MHN has made 40 % of the comments on this thread and 40 % of them are retarded. Interesting.

    Welp, Any human being could make a left hand turn.

    As a matter of fact, every human being SHOULD make a left hand turn, just to make the life interesting and something to talk about on the Internet decades later.

    Add LSD to the mix, exporting Democracy to some place in the world that says thanks but no thanks, Charlie Manson, another overrated but likeable fellow, pushes the discussion forward.

    So Susan Atkins, instead of being the low rent welfare Mom stripper that she otherwise would be, is instead a cultural icon, who people like you and me try to understand and look at her photos and try to figure out what was going on in her mind.

    Do you think there really was a mind in there? Or just kind of a bee buzzing around in a jar?

    Nice TomG Patty votes for the bee. She seemed to become a more thoughtful person in prison though.

      I have to vote for the "bee buzzing in a jar" option, too (good post, Tom G.). She seems driven by utter narcissism. I was born too late, Atkins was born too early. Today, she'd have become either a contestant or "star" on a "reality" tv show,.or an Instagram "model" getting the cut rate in Dubai.

      She says in her book that her favorite subject in school was "Phys.Ed."... *heavy sigh*

    People often are more thoughtful in prison. And better artists as well. Has anyone else noticed that inmates are usually good drawers and/or musically artistic?

    Future generations might figure out drug addiction, mental illness, anti-social behavior. But sorry to say, my generation just wants them warehoused. Out of sight and out of mind.

    For anyone keeping score, that was my 3rd Steven Parent joke.

    Make that 6 more to go.

    This bird with the Steve Parent jokes, like he is an Opie and Jim Norton quality comedian.

    A bird can be at the wrong place at the wrong time and what happens isn't really funny for anyone. That's what happened to this poor dude. His buddy with the radio lived out his life as an incoherent motherfucker. Who wins? Nobody.

    I think Tom is trying to say those pics could be of anyone of US.

    Of course, HE is wrong - those people are ONLY from MY generation.

    The NEXT generation AFTER US are more sophisticated, aware, educated, inherently wise and NEVER would allow themselves to be BRAIN-WASHED. And for sure, they would never KILL another human being simply because they had the authority to.

    Mr Hendrickson, a piece from today's Guardian about how your generation of Baby Boomers was the exception and how they are making the Millennials mentally ill: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/04/why-are-the-baby-boomers-desperate-to-make-us-millennials-hate-ourselves

    Robert,
    I'm nearly as old as you are and I get confused. Are you referring to the disco dancing, double knitt wearing generation?

    Chris and Orwhat: NOW I'm confused, but I remember having great discussions with the Family about this. Squeaky used to express HER discust at the establishment "selling" us so many "pills." A pill for this and a pill for that. She was confused -should she be sick or should she be well and healthy?

    Actually ANN's hatred for FLOW is exactly the same frustration. FLOW is NOT a "real" person, but a character that is modeled to be just like EVERYONE should be. She's the new and improved WOMAN who used to buy all that laundry soap and scrub HER kitchen floor twice a day. Except SHE does NOT need a man.

    I wonder what Tex's kids' opinions are on this subject. How do they feel about being the children of this killer? Do they love him? Should they have never been born?

    Robert,
    I was trying to clarify whether the "NEXT" generation you mentioned was the one that wore leasure suits in the seventies. I was also having fun at their expense.

    I always wondered if Amurica would come to the point of executing their mentally ill, in that they created so many mentally ill with their make or break culture. One lone juror held out in the James Holmes sentencing. I wonder how much pressure she was under. Or how much courage it took to stay with compassion.

    While I am a pro police law and order citizen, executing the mentally ill seems savage.

    Damn, good thing they didn't have DNA testing back then. They could have taken Susan's / Sadie's turd that she blew out on that apartment stairwell during the second murder attempt the night of the LaBianca murders and got her for attempted murder on that as well, not that it mattered much in the end. Considering the garbage she was eating at the ranch like they all were at the time it must have stunk like fuck. Always wondered who brought up that detail first, the first time I heard of it was reading about it in the Helter Skelter book and I always wondered if Vincent Bugliosi just made it up to emphasize his regard as Susan / Sadie being an "animal".

    Believe it or not, it was Linda Kasabian, during her trial testimony. I thought she was being a little bitchy there, because it was unnecessary information. It would only have had some relevance if the prosecution had found the building janitor {if there was one} and questioned them as to whether they would've remembered cleaning up a shit on the stairs one August morning ~ that would have acted as partial corroboration for Linda's testimony of the events of that night, as it was pretty thin.
