“Mr. President, the actions of Mr. Stoen need to be brought to a halt. It is offensive to most in the San Francisco community, and all those who know Rev. Jones to see this kind of an outrage taking place.”

Mr Stoen was our assistant D.A. here in Humboldt county for a while. One of the local papers did a story on him

You are right, it was mass murder by the us police force at Waco.

The Milk/Moscone murders occurred 9 days after the Guyana tragedy.

Thank you for a very interesting article.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Yea it kind of bounces back and forth between local politics and The Peoples Temple but it is quite informative. I remembered it when I saw this thread.

“...poisoned punch spiked with a Valium tranquilizer”

It was cyanide and the deaths were horrible and prolonged and involved great suffering.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Wow. I cannot imagine how horrific it must have been for her. Dear Lord.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Dear God.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

It was pretty good for a made-for-TV movie.

Boothe deserved that Emmy. He did one hell of a job.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I’m amazed Jones was even able to get his hands on the cyanide.

[Finny]

Boothe deserved that Emmy. He did one hell of a job.

He's always good. I love him in Extreme Prejudice. And of course as Curly Bill in Tombstone. He was fabulous.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I love this movie but the sound is crappy. I have seen it numerous times and there were two or three scenes in which I could not understand what he was saying.

Filming this movie must have been a very interesting experience for Boothe.

[BunnySlippers]

That is funny.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I love the part in which Curly Bill stumbles out of the opium tent and starts firing his pistols.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Sodomy can boost confidence? Interesting.

[Finny]

Yes, shooting at the moon while howling like a coyote! {^)

"I feel ... capital!"

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

And he was creepy as hell. How did people not notice that?

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Well....Bye. ;)
