The Manson family reign of terror ?

I read yesterday that a women who was a member of the Charles Manson cult "The Manson Family" who had tried to murder President Ford, that she had been released after 34 years in jail.
That made me think what if the Manson family had been able to turn them into a red-army style terroristgroup? With a string of terrorist attacks around the US? Bombing of Grand Central Station etc? And maybe had been able to shoot or blow up President Ford?

How could this have effected the US in the 1970s?

Manson was a crackpot racist with a horror of interracial relations who carved a swastika into his forehead. The likely targets would either be Blacks, or white victims whose deaths he would try to blame on Blacks, as he did in the Tate murders.

In later interviews, Fromme said she didn't really want to kill Ford. She just wanted to do something to get her thrown in prison with her idol Manson.
 
I could see that happening. They were a crazy cult, were Nazis, and had a leader who deserves nothing short of being killed in the most unspeakably painful ways imaginable. Yup, they could be terrorists.
 
Manson family terror

I don't think that they would have done that. That is what Vincent Buglio$i wants the American public to believe. He has been force-feeding that "Manson is a Meglomaniac and he is obsessed with violent death" crap down the American public's throat for almost 40 years. Maybe some people in his family(Watson, Davis, Grogan) may have done something along the lines of Serial Killing on their own, but Manson didn't direct them. Take away the Hinman murder, and Sharon Tate lives to at least see the 70's.
