This November 18 marks the 30th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre in Guyana. This link has some videos of the infamous Jim Jones cult, and no, I am not going to make comparisons to it and the cult surrounding our president-elect.
These clips are news reports from the time.
Shortly after Jonestown, there was the assassination of S.F. mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.
I remember both of those tragedies very well; I followed the reports from KGO radio quite closely.
