LOS ANGELES –  Gov. Jerry Brown reversed a parole board and denied on Friday the release of a former Charles Manson follower who served more than 43 years in prison.

It was the third time a California governor denied the release of Bruce Davis, 71, a member of the murderous Manson Family who was convicted in the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea.

In March, the parole board once again found that he was suitable for parole based on his age, conduct in prison -- he became a born-again Christian in prison, earned a doctoral degree in philosophy of religion, ministers to other inmates -- and other factors.

Brown lauded Davis for his efforts to improve himself. However, he wrote in his five-page decision that the evidence shows Davis "currently poses an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison."

My wife's father was one of four sons (of Italian immigrants), that grew up in the Los Angeles area, and they knew the La Bianca family, who were murdered by the Manson gang.

And yet John Hinckley just strolls around the grounds with an ice cream cone.  What a country!
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

yep...all of the Manson Family death sentences were commuted to life in prison, and all of them should die there.  There is no place in society for them with the exception of where they currently are.
