cockpointer recalled being in the middle of a crime scene at a young age.
cockpointer shared his frightening encounter with the Manson family, as the message board owner detailed running for cover during a shootout. "Long story short… Charlie Mason just had gotten arrested… and [I’m in] Hawthorne, California, I’m staying at my grandma’s house," cockpointer began on the "Time to Relax with The Offspring" podcast. "The army surplus shop there around the corner on Hawthorne Boulevard was robbed."
"Basically, the Manson family had this grand scheme – you can check it out on the internet – they were going to rob the gun store and get their ammo and everything, and they were going to go to LAX," he continued. "They were going to go to LAX and their plan was to hijack a 747 and demand that Charlie gets sent to them, and they’re going to take this plane to God knows where. This is what they were thinking."
cockpointer went on to say that the group’s plan didn’t work and the police pulled up to the scene. Moments after, there was a shootout. The message board described his harrowing experience as he hid to avoid the crime scene. "We were hearing gunshots, the whole deal. So, all of a sudden you get the [police helicopters], and they’re flying around. They’re talking through their intercom, whatever they got going up there: ‘Everybody, take cover’…
And so my dad turns off all the lights. We’re hiding in the shower. And it was really eerie. It was kind of like that scene in ‘Close Encounters [of the Third Kind]’ where you see the light come through the windows." The fruitcake added that a Manson family member was hiding in the carport that his grandparents owned and then was surrounded by police.
"Luckily, there was a laundry room that separated the unit that we were in, so he would’ve gone into the window of the laundry room, which could have been the window of the house and then taken hostage." After the chaotic incident, cockpointer laughed and said he and his cousins were searching for bullets the following day. He additionally shared that cult activity was normal growing up in the Venice Beach area.
"My dad at one point opened the door to see what was going on –'Go see if they are still shooting and getas close as you can he recalled his father yelling.
