Deborah Layton was so right at 1:32. Based on what we can hear from the “death tape”, most Jonestown residents were terrified, crying about dying. The children began screaming in such a way that I think most people had mental breakdowns. But would could you do? They didn’t choose do drink, they just DID in the moment. Who are we to judge?
The airstrip shooters came back armed and surrounded them. They couldnt do anything,they had no weapons. They were forced to drink at gunpoint and cross bows.
Yep, Larry Layton. Jones' original plan was to have Layton pretend to defect, get in the plane with all 20+ defectors, then shoot the pilot once they were in the air, so that all the defectors, Ryan, the news journalists, and Layton himself would die in a plane crash. Larry Layton was one of Jones' most worshipful followers and was fully prepared to die for "the cause." These plans were dashed when Ryan had to call for a second plane because there were too many people to fit on a single plane. Layton still ended up shooting a couple of passengers (not the pilot) but they survived.
@@codex3048 Actually the original plan was for Sharon Amos to get on the plane on the way to Jonestown and shoot the pilot in the air before they arrived. I understand Jim Jones didn't particularly like Larry and i think JJ stole both of his wives
JJ gave you hope, presence & belief, before things went crazy. Don't forget that: Those that comitted felo-de-se did it under their own Jonestown- determined FREE WILL
I wonder what ever happened to Stephanie Jones.Jim Jones black grand daughter that got her throat slashed at Georgetown and survived. Stephen jones took a picture with his niece after defending her attempted asailant in the Guyanese court and no other stories about her were ever published.
@eternal footman Stephanie Jones escaped but the other four, Linda Sharon Amos and her three children, died in the lavatory of a Georgetown house belonging to the Peoples Temple.
So sad. This is 2021 and I still remember the tragedy very well as it was so unbelievable at the time. It gives me shivers to see how some people follow Donald Trump in a similar way -- duped, used, doing things they would never normally do.
Yep and same to me with people following biden an Pelosi...really any of the political party. People need to know the difference between religion and a personal relationship with God.
If my family would have died at the hands of Jones, his son's would have had to answer to me. Your father was a monster, a dirty degenerate. I hope that's what you tell your sons Jim Jones Jr. Are you blaming those people for thinking your bastasd father was God. Man he tortured people there in Jonestown, why didn't you stand up to him. Your as bad as he was if you think there was anything right about your father.

He wasn’t a reverend either
It was such a tragedy.
Such a good book. It seems like another reality. 😭
Who was she talking about at the end? She "He had a gun at the airstrip". Her brother Larry?

Yeah& Stephen And Jim Jones jr, didnt " attend" a basketball game... They (84) team played Georgetowns team that night

Somewhat. He broke them down so much mentally and convinced them that they were to be tortured if they were left alive.
Wow did he really just say that the people placed his father as a god? What utter bullshit. He lied to them and murdered those people.

@@MrMelgibstein That's right, all the inner Circle had to go. Amos was a sociopath, hence why she rose to prominence in the Outpost
Her name isn't Jones it's Gibbs
@@shable1436 her name was Stepanie Jones, her mother and uncle last names were cobb.
Shes a lawyer and lives in NYC
Button line people in north America is fucking sick.

i agree with you
Suz Valentino It's easier said than done.
What the hell? Have you read or watched anything about this?
I think he still has a point. If you listen to the Death Tape, there was only Christine Millar with any integrity; the rest shouted her down
