8. Manson Encouraged Auto Theft and Drug Dealing

In order to raise funds (and escape growing police scrutiny) following his exit from Dennis Wilson’s home, Manson pushed his followers to donate as much money as possible. He also encouraged people to sell the drugs they took so freely within their compound at Spahn’s Ranch. A small cabal of followers — mostly young women — became dangerously devoted to Manson’s “teachings.” Prior to the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders, this little group of zealots carried out a series of small crimes on Manson’s behalf, including the murder of Gary Hinman.
