He apparently foretold that a race war was imminent and that together with his followers, they would have to be ready and armed. Manson believed that it was his role to usher in the war by ordering his ‘family members’ to go on a killing spree (Gilbert, 2017). Following the orders from their leader, in 1969, the Manson Family killed pregnant actor Sharon Tate, who was at the time, the wife of motion-movie director Roman Polanski. Also murdered were Tate’s friends, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Steven Parent, and Wojciech Frykowski (Serratore, 2019).
