In thinking Charles Bronson should have been released years ago ??

[SatansLittleHelper2]

Yes he's a violent idiot but bloody hell, 40years just seems a bit harsh for someone who.is probably more mad than bad.......when you consider a man who raped and murdered two children is being released and will serve less time than a man who's never really been given a chance it all sounds a bit ridiculous.

MANSON not Bronson please change the title!! I believe Charles Bronson was a very nice actor.

One of the purposes of incarceration is to protect the public. This individual has attempted to murder several inmates, taken various civilians hostage and assaulted prison staff. Would you be okay with him moving into your street?

@InsomniacAnonymous

nor am I a massive, expert on Charles Bronson

Maybe you should go and have a wee Goggle then OP!!!

YABU, 'violent idiot', 'more mad than bad' indeed.

We're not talking about Manson though illuminousopptomist

Yeah saying you 'don't know much about him' is a bit strange when you have started a thread saying he should be released. Wouldn't you at least have a quick glance at his wiki page first?

Apparently he is now called Charles Salvador anyway.

Thank you to overworked and unstaffed and underpaid prison officers and nursing staff for the difficult jobs they do.

There's always some eejit willing to post a half baked story supporting the baddies in this world just for a little bit of attention.
"Satanslittlehelper" get a life.

Bronson first and Manson second.

MANSON not Bronson please change the title!! I believe Charles Bronson was a very nice actor

Charles Bronson is correct, there is more than one of them in the world?

Although this particularly one has changed his name again

illuminous there is a deceased American actor called Charles Bronson.

There is also an extremely violent British prisoner who changed his name to Charles Bronson. (Although he’s now calling himself something else)

The OP isn’t referring to Manson.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Salvador this is who we're talking about. Tom Hardy played him in a film.

Sorry my mistake!

"I hope he never gets out. I went through hell. I have nightmares. I've suffered post-traumatic stress, had three nervous breakdowns and never worked since."

The words of an Art teacher, Phil Donaldson, held for 44 hours by Bronson.

That's just one of his victims

illuminous we are talking about the UK prisoner Charles Bronson, now known as Charles Salvador apparently, not the American actor Charles Bronson nor the extremely dangerous American prisoner Charles Manson.

There are two people called Charles Bronson - one is an actor, one is a prisoner (and is now known as Charles Salvador)

Oh FFS, there is an actor called Charles Bronson and a prisoner with the same name.

What is so difficult to understand about it illuminous???

illuminous He changed his name from his original surname to Bronson after the American actor! Not sure how I'd feel about that if I were him

This is an article that agrees with you OP.

OK I've caught up now everyone - thanks again!!

How anyone can read about him and think that a prison is an appropriate place for him is beyond me.

On one occasion when he took some other inmates hostage he asked them to tickle his feet and call him general.

On another occasion he asked negotiators for an inflatable doll, a helicopter and a cup of tea.

The guy is clearly mentally unwell - he should be diagnosed and treated rather than banged up in solitary.

This is an article that agrees with you OP.

A quick scan of the comments shows its readership doesnt

Course you're not BU, OP. You got a spare bedroom where we can put him?????

FFS, I despair sometimes

HousefulOfBoysNow Are you wear of the crimes he has committed?
