Yeah, so lately I've been compiling some raw footage of Charles Manson. I'm very excited about it. There's this one interview I have of him with a segment that really caught my attention, so I decided to type up a transcript of that scene.
When questioned about remorse...
"Is he sorry. Hmm. I...I don't, uh...you know what? Let's...let's say this. Am I honest? You know, I can say anything. I don't really know what 'sorry' means. I've been sorry all my life. 'I was sorry I was born,' is what my mother told me. Uh, I've been at the bottom of this pile as long as I can remember.
Everybody's had permission to bite any part of me they wanted...chew up. I don't really, honestly know what a lot of these words mean that you guys use.
What does 'sorry' mean? 'Ughhh, ugh, I hurt. I've been beat with the leather strap. I'm...I'm sorry.' I'm sorry because I'm hurt or I'm sorry because... Why did I get beat? I don't even undersstand why I got beat. I just got beat. Why am I getting beat? Why've you got me in a cell? Why can't I wear clothes? Why can't I do like other human beings? Why do I have to be...why am I into this?
I'm asking all these 'whys' to myself 'cause you aked those 'whys' to me and I don't know how to deal with this 'sorry' thing, guy. They just keep asking me about this remorse thing and I'm not...I don't have a mind that way. My mind is, 'what works?' If something works, it functions. I...I have a mind in procedure. I understand procedure. I understand war. I understand rules and regulations. I don't understand 'sorry'."
