Everyone complaining about the commercials and adds…They must’ve fixed it cause I’m 30 minutes in & haven’t seen the first interruption. Which is very unusual,but maybe the comments worked😊

"This man [Charles Manson] was not guilty of m**dering my daughter. Okay? Of all the seven m**ders that I know of, he did not commit one of them. I feel like he has taken the blame for all of them. And the one that should be blamed is Tex Watson."

Dear Zachary haunts me to this day.
Another side note that was kinda funny, in Jesus Camp they brought out a George W Bush standee and made the children pray to him lol
