Jonestown documentaries

[quote name='crunchb3rry']Anybody watching these on CNN or MSNBC? Some real heavy shit.

Yeah I watched it when it ran a few days ago , like wednesday or thursday or something. It was depressing.
 
Jim Jones makes Charles Manson look like a boy scout. I never knew about the airstrip massacre, just the Kool-Aid stuff. Depressing is an understatement, especially what that lady did at the Georgetown compound. Makes one wonder if her or Andrea Yates was the bigger monster.
 
Yeah, this was on the news earlier, my grandma actually thought the news was interrupted and that a congressman had just been killed. She didn't realize they were just showing a clip.

I would like to watch one of these documentaries in full though.
 
CNN doesn't even have it in HD. I don't know why those fucktards bother with an HD channel when probably only 20% of what they air is HD.

What got me about the documentary is how relatively normal Jones' sons seemed. Especially Stephen.

Which lady are you talking about?
 
[quote name='StarKnightX']Which lady are you talking about?[/quote]

I am guessing he is talking about the lady who supervised making all of the poisoned kool-aid and then distributed it to the people.
 
Andrea Yates is that lady who drowned her kids in her bathtub because she went crazy after her ignorant asshole sonofabitch husband made her crap out kids one by one and refused to take any time off his job to help raise them. Post-partum depression multiplied by five. Everytime he is interviewed the interviewer asks if he thinks he is partially responsible and he refuses to admit it. He even wanted her to get off her depression meds so he could pork her again and have another kid.

EDIT: Oh, the other lady. She was the secretary or whatever at the Georgetown compound (different than Jonestown, basically the "office" element of the cult). Everyone there went out to see a movie except her and her kids. Jones got a message to her that the mass suicide had begun so she gathered her kids into the upstairs bathroom shower, slit their throats, then slit her own. When Stephen Jones got back from the movie he oddly did all he could to prevent any more suicides, like he realized dad was fucking crazy and it had to stop.

How is CNN going to convert footage and images from the 70s into HD? Aside from that, running a 24/7 News channel in full HD is a bit different than picking and choosing HD programs to fill a channel's airtime, so I don't expect everything to be HD.

Getting back on topic, yeah, I watched a good portion of that documentary, and it was extremely fucked up, both in the intent of the leader and the fact that the followers that ate this shit up literally forced down those who didn't and injected them with the poison.

Even worse was this jerkoff trying to convince parents that their screaming children were not in any pain after consuming the poison, and that by keeping quiet the pain would go away. What we saw the other night was the profile of someone who ranks right on up there with Hitler and other murderous egomaniacs.

The had a story about Jim Jones' son on ESPN too. Crazy stuff.

Also, it wasn't Kool-Aid they drank. It was Flavor-Aid. Not that it really mattered in the end.
 
yeah that story has always been pretty interesting to hear about but to see some of that video footage really brought it home. especially the shooting at the airport you see shit like that in movies all the time but to see it in real life its always an eerie experience. the senator going down there had to know his chance for making it back werent high . the power of religion can be a scary thing to see when someone abuses it.
