What would have happened if


Jim Jones didn't have the mass suisides. I think the peoples temple would have been over with anyway since they shot the congressman. Do you think the US military or the guyana police would have gone in and arrested him?

I just brought that up because taking his own life (not that I would condone it) is understandable why he did it. The US police or military really would have gone in and arrested him.

It’s not 100% certain that he did take his own life. The current belief, based on forensics, is that the nurse shot him. Then she returned to her cabin and shot herself.
