According to escaped Temple member Odell Rhodes, the first to take the poison were Ruletta Paul and her one-year-old infant.[142] A syringe with its needle removed was used to squirt poison into the infant's mouth and then Paul squirted another syringe into her own mouth.[142] Stanley Clayton also saw mothers with their babies first approach the tub containing the poison.[143] Clayton said that Jones approached people to encourage them to drink the poison and that, after adults saw the poison begin to take effect, "they showed a reluctance to die."[143]
The poison caused death within five minutes.[144] After consuming the poison, according to Rhodes, people were then escorted away down a wooden walkway leading outside the Pavilion.[142] It is not clear if some initially thought the exercise was another "White Night" rehearsal. Rhodes reported being in close contact with dying children.[142]
In response to reactions of seeing the poison take effect on others, Jones counseled, "Die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity; don't lay down with tears and agony." He also said, "I tell you, I don't care how many screams you hear, I don't care how many anguished cries...death is a million times preferable to 10 more days of this life. If you knew what was ahead of you – if you knew what was ahead of you, you'd be glad to be stepping over tonight."[136] Survivor Odell Rhodes stated that while the poison was squirted in some children's mouths, there was no panic or emotional outburst and people looked like they were "in a trance".[145] This statement was a contradiction to the crying and screaming children heard throughout the majority of the testimonial death tape.[136]
Jones was found dead lying next to his chair between two other bodies, his head cushioned by a pillow.[146] His death was caused by a gunshot wound to his left temple that Guyanese coroner Cyrill Mootoo stated was consistent with a self-inflicted gun wound.[147]
The events at Jonestown constituted the greatest single losses of American civilian life in a deliberate act until the incidents of September 11, 2001.[148]

The Majority of those people were from Oakland and San Francisco although I believe Jones was from the midwest. he moved out to the bay area. I'v heard a portion of this tape long ago.
It's one thing to take your life or settle problems. it's another to take innocent lives.
Did they find that 32 year old yet in Wis. another asshole wanting to justify the killing of innocent people to be a martre.

Someone do a fucking breakdown (pie chart) of trolling, shit post and content contributions. It should be lanny. He should decide and then tell us why he thinks a subject isn't content contributed enough. but are clearly schoolyard sophomoric spew. CC=Yes, SP=Never, Troll=Sometimes (but not always or it reverts back to SP) and SSS is TrollXlarge and 1 hour silence mode. if that feature exist.

There's a huge difference between a shitpost and a spampost. A lot of people don't get that. Sometimes, shitposts are OK, but spamposts should never be permitted. In Lanny's great haste to appear hardline, he has once again crossed the threshold of balance, fairness and equal treatment. Surprise, surprise.
