No problem. They come and go.

This is not a game.

A lot of people like to have

advertising. I do not.

If the congressman and reporters

go back to the runway ...

Jim Jones sends his

killers to stop them.

Hidden behind a tractor

and trailer.

The killings continued.

When the insane savior,

people are offered the ultimate salvation.

Organizing a mass suicide

under duress and at gunpoint.

The babies first.

The congressman is deceased.

Take the medicine.

Potassium Cyanide is simple.

Get in before it's too late.

Hurry up, hurry up.

"Love one another."

Die with honor. With dignity.

Finish your life with dignity.

Not with tears and pain.

Death is like going to

another plane.

Go this way not.

Stop this hysteria.

No way to die well.

Dying with dignity.

Finally, Jim Jones committed suicide.

After killing more than 900 Americans.

There is a lot of violence and ...

.. I do not know.

It has come to a point ..

The police, they also have guns.

Beautiful weapons they have.

Just murder people.

Come in, come.

Is there something wrong?

- Everything is fine, do not stay at the door.

Well, ..

- Hey, come on.

Go, now it's too late.

Take your seat.

Sit.

Fine, come close a little,

closer to each other.

In October 1980, James Hoskins ...

he hijacked this TV station in Cinccinatti ...

after a hostage

a news presenter.

Can I ask a question?

- Sure.

You know ... who is responsible?

All media,

course.

They are the ones who report

do and that is frustrating.

I have a studio near here

and I looked at people in the street ..

.. We fight for 5 cents ..

And I see that the

politicians do not care.

They all say the same thing.

Reagan says the same

Carter says the same thing.

The truth is that we do not

democracy today.

Jim, my tape is low.

I do not think more than one minute.

Are you saying something else?

No, I do not think there is anything

else to say except ...

.. give me a place

I can shoot at the police.

You people can go now.

Here?

I have no

better place to shoot.

They come with their weapons,

but people die in the streets.

And I have mine loaded.

I'm ready, as always.

But ... that does not help.

His idealism to severe extremes

just to exacerbate things.

You seem like a good man.

- You have to think.

Tonight I killed my girlfriend.

Nothing is more important to me.

Maybe ..

We had planned to occupy this station ..

.. Is a .. Madness.

But I try to put. Things in a row

I killed her.

"We were going to do things together

and I freaked out by.

She's dead.

You are not the person

so does anything.

You do not want to hurt us ..

I want to do anything. I

wants the police come.

They always hurt people.

So ..., come for me now.

That is not the solution.

It is not the solution, but I

killed my friend, what can I do?

All but

which is what you're proposing.

Well, tell me what I can do?

We can help

We are your friends.

You can not help me, they take me out

and stabbing me in jail.

They put you where they rape you ...

Put that bauble off for what I am about to say.

Waiting for the police, he was

the chair of the presenter.

And shot himself.

In April of 1979.

Richard Townsend,

San Diego psychotherapist.

Was forced under threat

with a firearm to retrieve his money from the bank ...

.. Newman Press Ball.

A Nigerian student who had two years together

lived with the Townsend family.

The police surrounded the white Porsche,

with Townsend behind the wheel ..

.. But the crowds Press Ball

gun to the head.

Road traffic was stopped.

After 2 hours of negotiations,

Press Ball had agreed to surrender.

As it was ordered ...

he threw his jacket, belt and shoes

I see him in the car.

He wears a red belt,

he removed the shoes, two shoes.

He comes!

Press Ball emerges

with a 45.

The hostage was rescued.

The gunman died in the ambulance.

The traffic was resumed.

Richard Hall, was abducted

in his own office

And walked through the streets of Indianapolis.

In 1977.

That's what happens with this nasty loan shark.

A novice agent

pulls his gun.

An older colleague beckons

and puts the gun back.

Go back.

- Damn, what we do with that individual.

Nothing.

This is what I want to look good.

Look what happens to people who play with ..

.. with the money of good citizenship.

No one moves.

I've never

seen many crooks together.

I admire the police.

Yes, I admire them.

They begin to act

if they are smart.

The gunman grabs

police handcuffs.

And a patrol car.

Anthony Corisis, a humble bartender

expressed his anger against Hall ...

... because he refused a loan.

The hostage was handcuffed with a gun

tied with a rope around his neck,

And with the barrel of the gun into his neck.

He walked three days around with reporters.

Listen, I want to understand.

I'll read it.

Number 1:
I Anthony Corisis ..

Another cable runs of the tractor

around the neck of the kidnapper.

I want some water.

Give it to me.

Relax, I'm serene.

Six pints in 1976

but this year nothing.

Number 4:
restaurant, loan application,

but there are no ...

Sufficient guarantees for the ... ...

.. protect both their interests,

as ours.

I went to borrow the money

Building a restaurant of 3000 m2 ...

.. That would be an average

2 million per year, gross.

And this son of a whore

gave it to another.

What happens, what happens?

- Nothing, nothing happens.

Jim, you know what I told this man?

You know what I said?

That, when this is over

I'm the bogeyman ...

... I read everything that is written.

And I also read some objections I

wrote some time ago, some things ...

.. that happened years ago.

I think I remembered the most.

Is not it Rick?

Not?

All the little things too.

It's true.

I hope this is not going away.

I can assure you ...

ladies and gentlemen.

The fact that this person

luck was with me.

I am calm,

I have no nerve in my body.

It's a damn lucky,

any nervous ...

would cover his head long

ago have blown down.

And I swear to God,

I had problems.

Had serious problems.

If you have a gun and decision

someone to abduct,

You can not move out.

I would like all

people thank ...

Who supported me

during these days.

And I also want my brothers Jimmy

and thank George,

Mark and John. And Johnny, I can

not remember his name.

Johnny Ferguson.

Corisis Hall finally let go.

And handed over to the police.

The judge spoke to him

free from the crime.

But he was included in

a psychiatric hospital.

Let me say something.

We live in the greatest country in the world.

But this is what ..

.. undermined the freedoms that

my father and my mother ...

.. search came from Greece here.

And probably all

ancestors, I'm sure.

I may not be a champion,

but would be less than John Wayne better.

I guarantee.

I did nothing.

For three days,

the street was ...

A man and a violent madman

on his back.

Throw the weapon.

Throw the weapon.

San Diego, 1979.

Sam Brown, shot from the sidewalk
