[Cloud Leonhart]

Hey, Cold. How've you been? ^_^

[Athos]

hey Cloud.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Hey, Athos. What's up?

[Athos]

Nm. Watching a thing that happened in Waco years ago, about the Branch Davidians.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Wa...co?

[Athos]

Waco, Texas. On February 28, 1993 there was a shoot out in which six Davidians and four agents of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) died. After 51 days on April 19, 1993 a standoff between FBI agents and Branch Davidians ended in a fire that destroyed their compound located in Mt. Carmel, near Waco. Seventy-four people, including leader David Koresh, died in the blaze. (Wikipedia)

[Cloud Leonhart]

Ah...that sounds kind of depressing.

[Athos]

It's interesting though. They did let the children go.

[KoYue]

Oh, I read about them for a cult project I did in history a few years ago. It made me wonder how people can follow a psycho.

[Athos]

Well, just look at Charles Manson. He still gets letters from girls who love him, or so I've herd.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Who?

[Robbie Hendrix]

Heres a brief bio.

Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) was the leader of what came to be known as the Manson Family, a commune, which most consider a cult, that began to form around him in the U.S. city of San Francisco in 1967.[1][2][3] He was convicted of conspiracy to commit the Tate-LaBianca murders, which members of the commune carried out at his instruction. Though there was no evidence Manson personally killed any of the victims, he was also found guilty of the murders themselves, through the joint-responsibility rule of conspiracy.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Ah...what was his sentence?

[Robbie Hendrix]

I think it was life in prison he never killed anyone but had is slaves do it for him.

[Cloud Leonhart]

I wonder what it's like to have that kind of power...What would you do if you had a bunch of people that would follow any command you gave them?

[Athos]

Ah...what was his sentence?

He did have the death penalty over him, but hos lawyer managed to get him life in prison. Any lawyer knows that if you can go from a death penalty to life in prison is a huge victory.

Berserk: Even if you order someone to kill someone else, that you criminally responsible for their death.
