Dont worry, I dont think you will get flamed here. Flaming is a last resort when a persons got nothing reasonable to say . Every poster here has added an intellectual post even if viewpoints vary.
I picked your post to respond to because what you said interested me.
For me personally, I never think of her as that "manson woman" and if I did it would add sympathy to my view rather than harshness. I would perhaps think maybe she was young and mislead by a "crazy" man..... that makes her look more deserving of my sympathy, not less.
But as I said I really dont view her in that light. In my mind what I see was the two women in the situation - Atkins and Sharon - a woman 9 months pregnant with a new life obviously right there between them. What does Atkins do? She plunges a knife into that belly, tastes the blood that results, even writes on a wall with it. BIG letters at that. That required a constant going back and re dipping her fingers in that blood again and again. If there was ever an example of a woman who betrayed her own "sister hood" then Atkins is it.
No amount of "little girl lost just following demented psycho man" weighs out against "stronger woman turns on more helpless woman" to me.
The only thing that could have perhaps mitigated the heinous acts of Atkins would have been if she had used every moment she had after that event to let the world and the living family members of her victims know how very sorry she was.
When it came to that she has been very quiet and low key. Ok. So now her own death is imminent. Remain quiet and low key about that Atkins. That would be my best advice to her.
Because she is rapidly running out of time to demonstrate that she has even a modicum of class.
