… the Manson Family, that is.

Charles Manson is the most famous serial killer of all time, and maybe the most famous criminal of all time. This is despite the fact that he didn’t carry out the killings himself — the “family” was a cult-slash-hippie commune that he formed that carried out at least a half dozen brutal killings on his orders. Look at how happy these freaks are!

See, you were right to be skeptical about hippies all this time — they’re all peace and love, but give them one charismatic dude in a loud shirt and they’ll do whatever he says.
