Are you fricking serious right now? Jonestown was the colloquial name for the headquarters of the Peoples Temple, Jim Jones' cult. In November 1978, they all drank a bunch of poisoned Flavor Aid as part of a ritual suicide. Over 900 people died. That's where the phrase "Drink the Kool-Aid" comes from.![:marseykoolaid: :marseykoolaid:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseykoolaid.webp)
!oldstrags, do kids not know about Jonestown? Because I have never felt older than I do right this second.![:marseydeadinside3: :marseydeadinside3:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseydeadinside3.webp)

They even murdered Congressman when he did a wellness check. The suicide was more about escaping Justice I thought.

Sort of. You're right that they murdered Congressman Leo Ryan, but he was actually planning on recommending the U.S. government leave Jonestown alone. He'd determined that while a handful of people wanted to leave, and he'd helped them do so, the overwhelming majority wished to stay.![:tsuchinokotruth: :tsuchinokotruth:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/tsuchinokotruth.webp)
Jones had Ryan killed not to "escape justice", but because he was such a control freak that losing even 1% of his "flock" was unthinkable. Some of Ryan's party escaping the shooting may have made things more urgent, but the Flavor Aid was already being prepared before then. In fact, Jones had his doctor, Larry Schacht, begin researching the optimal way to kill everyone at least a year before the actual mass suicide took place.![:marseymaid2: :marseymaid2:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseymaid2.webp)
Fundamentally, Leo Ryan's assassination was about Jim Jones creating an excuse to do something he'd always intended to do. His greatest desire was to go down in history as a martyr for socialism, and he thought the "revolutionary suicide" of almost a thousand people would allow him to do that. Which is darkly funny, given that nowadays, most !commies don't even know he was one of them.![:marseydarkxd: :marseydarkxd:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseydarkxd.webp)

cult leader starts cult in he US, butt moves it to a carribean island or to south america or something. Most cult members are US citizens and some complain to a sitting congressman abput it. Congressman comes to visit the cult and sees poor conditions and attempts to leave with some cult members, butt is gunned down with his staff at an airport tarmac. Cult leader realizes the jig is up and gets everyone to commit mass suicide by drinking flavour-aid laced with drain-o. Cult members who refuse or are too young are forced with justa few escaping. about 1000 died in total. Flavour-aid had a terrible marketting campagin at the time and Kool-aid got all the credit.
