Susan Atkins wants compassion? How about the state show her the same mercy she showed her victims? In prison she bragged about the crimes she committed. At the trial, she and her co-defendants shaved their heads, carved x's on their foreheads, laughed, snickered, sang, and interrupted the court process. They showed no sorrow for the crimes, and sneered at their victim's families. I say she ought to rot in prison. Let the state show her no compassion. The liberals will be the first to scream. How about they take her into their homes? How would they feel if one of their loved ones were killed by Susan Atkins?:
