Title: 40 years ago this weekend.... Chatsworth CA
Post by: Jim Ratto on August 07, 2009, 16:38:16 pm
seems like all the local news channels are remembering August 1969, when fear tore through much of Southern Calif. Got your White Album qued up?

Even 40 years on, even after all the violence saturating today's media... the Tate-LaBianca murders still seem brutally shocking.

RIP to those slain.

I remember my parents becoming obsessive about keeping the doors locked, and checking to see who was at the door before opening it. In fact, I remember all my friends parents getting that way.

Were they constantly after you to lock the doors, and keep the windows closed?

they didn't have to be. I was 10 or 11, and watched the news.

The infamous Spahn Ranch. The more I learn about the case and the people involved the more it creeps me out..

I'm shocked that they would actually release someone who tried to assasinate a President.
