After news broke Wednesday evening that Charles Manson was reportedly near death, the internet is experiencing a flood of feelings about the notorious cult leader’s deteriorating health.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Manson, 83, is said to have been bound to a gurney and covered in blankets as he’s being taken to various treatments around the facility. There are five uniformed officers escorting him to and from treatments.

“It’s not going to get any better for him,” a source told the outlet. “”It’s just a matter of time.”
While Manson’s health has been declining over the past year, the cult leader is currently serving nine concurrent life sentences at a Bakersfield, California penitentiary for ordering nine murders back in 1969.
The most notable of these murders was of actress Sharon Tate and her acquaintances at the home she shared with her husband, director Roman Polanski. Tate, who was pregnant at the time of her death, was stabbed 16 times and had an “X” carved into her stomach.

Waiting for Charles Manson to die is a bit like Christmas Eve, isn’t it? Except we don’t know exactly when we’re all going to get our collective present!

I hope Charles Manson got to see #AHSCult from prison tbh.

Is it just me or is it weird that Charles Manson is dying the day after @AHSFX cult ended?

While othersย joked it had to do with politics…
…saw Charles Manson trending and naturally figured the #GOP had found their replacement for Roy Moore…

I saw Charles Manson trending and had to assume he either spoke on behalf of #RoyMooreChildMolester or had taken his place on the GOP ticket.

I saw Charles Manson trending and thought for sure @realDonaldTrump had named him as the new Attorney General after sending Jeff Sessions back to the woods to bake cookies.

Ah, yes. An elderly blowhard with crazed and easily deluded followers who himself spouts gibberish is in the news tonight.

Oh, and Charles Manson’s dying too, I guess.
