Stop reporting about Charles Manson

Please refrain from printing any more stories about the monster Charles Manson — I don’t care what they do with his remains, and I find all the media stories about him nauseating to say the least.

There are so many good people about whom you could write — the firefighters fighting all the Southern California fires right now (including those from our county), the agencies trying to help and addresses where one might send donations, the people working to help save the animals … and those are just for starters.

Do not — even for a minute — think that we want to read about someone who’s best forgotten.
