Let Susan Atkins Out?

So, take a look at this:

Why would you let anyone related to the Manson case out of prison? All you have to do is look at that picture and see the complete and utter insanity staring at you. I wasn't even alive when this was happening and I still get chills seeing Susan Atkins' photographs. She reminds me of Bellatrix Lestrange. She really really didn't care that she killed someone--for her, it was all for Charles. You can't tell me that living nearly 39 years in prison has not furthered her insanity, either. I don't care if she has six months to live...I wouldn't care if she had six HOURS to live. To let her out is a slap in the face to those who died. Charles Manson and his "family" should have been given the death penalty (Charles Manson was, actually, then it was deemed unconstitutional by the State of California and was remanded to life--I think California now has another death penalty, but it's not retroactive). What difference does it make if she dies in prison from a terminal illness or through lethal injection? One or the other! Still, doctors have been wrong before, and what would they do if they let her out and she lived for several more years? Would they re-arrest her? What would they do if she found some other freak to kill for? What if Charles Manson was still giving her orders and she's been told to kill someone else when she gets out? Retaliation for keeping him in prison is something that he has wanted for a very long time. He has said that he still has followers and could order them to do whatever he wanted as late as his last parole hearing. I tend to believe him, as crazy as he is. There is always someone willing to follow an idiot.
