Charles Manson calls off his wedding...

"after it emerges that fiancee Afton Elaine Burton 'just wanted his corpse for display'"

They apparently thought the Lenin's Tomb-esque attraction would draw a huge number of visitors and make them a lot of money.

But Manson, 80, apparently got wind of the plan and now no longer wants to marry Burton.

"He's finally realized that he's been played for a fool,"

Her and her ghost.

Apparently some people find out stuff w/o Google.

Unbelievable!

It's not quite as easy to find true love without LSD doing the heavy lifting.

It's amazing how much you can figure out by listening to the "White Album" over and over and over again.

How do you think Mason ever caught on to Ms. Burton's machinations, anyway?

CONSPIRACY, BABY!!1!!!1!

Maybe the man just values his freedom, and doesn't want to lock out all his opportunities.

Gee, I can think of any number of people who might want to display his corpse.

Cambridge city ordinance, public sidewalks, snow removal.

12.16.110 - Sidewalks—Snow and ice removal.
A.
Removal of Snow from Sidewalks. The owner or occupant of private property bordering on a street where there is a sidewalk or footway shall, within twelve hours after snow ceases to fall in the daytime and before one p.m. after a fall of snow during the night, cause all snow that may be on such sidewalk or footway to be removed therefrom. In the event of an unusually heavy snowfall, the time limit shall be extended at the discretion of the Commissioner of Public Works. The provisions of this section shall apply to snow which falls from buildings as well as to that which falls from the clouds.
B.
Removal of Ice from Sidewalks. The owner or occupant of private property bordering on a street where there is a sidewalk or footway any portion of which is encumbered by ice shall within six hours after the sidewalk or footway becomes encumbered with ice cause such sidewalk or footway to be made safe and convenient by removing the ice therefrom, or by keeping the same covered with sand or some other suitable substance.

Eh, so what. Who cares if people shovel their sidewalks or not?

Penalties. (Cambridge)

12.16.160 - Violation—Penalty.
A.
Criminal Penalty. Any person who violates Section 12.16.110 (Sidewalks—Snow and ice removal) shall be subject to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars. Each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense.
B.
Noncriminal Disposition. Whoever violates Section 12.16.110 (Sidewalks—Snow and ice removal) may be penalized by a noncriminal disposition as provided in G.L. c. 40, s. 21D. For purposes of this section, the Commissioner of Public Works shall be the enforcing officer, except that the Commissioner may delegate his enforcing authority to designated Public Works Enforcement Officers. The penalty for each violation will be fifty dollars, thereby increasing the non-criminal disposition fine for failure of an abutter to remove snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their property within the timeframes provided in the ordinance. Each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense.

On the other hand... do you know how much preparation goes into a proper wedding?

Flowers, cake, kids, rings its a lot to worry about for a man behind bars with no possibility of parole.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

I love Drudge front page right now.

The Tomb was in poor taste. What be in poorer taste would be to let his remains anywhere near a Folger's coffee can.

So what will they do with his remains?

Titus said...

Our african americans live in prime real estate, yet they don't work or clean their sidewalks.

I want them out!

Bottom of the barrel gold digging.
