KEEP MANSON KILLER VAN HOUTEN GAGED!

California’s gov must torpedo parole board decision to set her free

-

WE’RE all for forgivenes­s, compassion and mercy, but California’s parole board is nuts for voting to put Leslie Van Houten back on the streets after she butchered innocents in a soulless and savage attempt to help psycho cult leader Charles Manson start a race war during the Swinging Sixties!

There’s good reason this crazed Helter Skelter killer’s been caged for five decades since she was a drugged-out 19-year-old puppet who did Manson’s bloodthirs­ty bidding.

Van Houten was part of maniac Manson’s two-night murder spree that slaughtere­d seven innocents, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate in 1969.

Originally sentenced to death, Van Houten was spared a date with the executione­r by a 1972 California Supreme Court decision tossing the state’s death penalty. She was retried and given life behind bars in 1976.

Now, at 69, she wants out — and the ninnies on the parole board agreed.

Her lawyer Rich Pfeiffer claims Van Houten has taken “full responsibi­lity” for her despicable deeds, saying: “She chose to go with Manson. She chose to listen to him. And she acknowledg­es that.”

Rich is a numbskull. That is exactly why she DOESN’T deserve to be let out.

Here’s what she did.

Leslie wasn’t with the killer groupies who murdered Tate and four friends the first night.

But she tagged along the second night when the bunch busted into the home of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca.

While Leno was getting butchered in another room, Leslie held down Rosemary so another cultie could stab away.

Then Leslie grabbed the knife and took her turn, plunging it repeatedly into the poor woman.

No amount of “good behavior” or regret excuses this cowardly and heinous butchery.

Gov. Gavin Newsom can still block her release.

We urge him to do it. We don’t need this twisted sicko roaming the streets.

Leslie deserves to rot behind bars until she joins her idol Charlie, who died in November 2017, in HELL!
