Here’s A Photo Of Charles Manson, For No Reason Whatsoever If there's one thing the tale of Charles Manson can teach us, it's never to carve a swastika into your own forehead. Really, don't. Sure, it might seem like a cool thing to do when you're the unhinged leader of a murderer-commune determined to set off a race war because of something you once heard Paul McCartney shriek, but one day you're going to look in the mirror and realise that you're a 74-year-old man with a swastika carved into your own forehead. California correctional officials have released a new photo of Charles Manson. No, we don't know why either.
