Hayes went into full explanation claiming he had suffered abuse during childhood with no contact of his father and ended up dropping out of high school. However, if Hayes suffered from an abusive childhood which resulted him to turn to drugs, why didn't Hayes seek counseling?

David Koresh said that he was Jesus Christ and some believed he was too. There are many reasons to dispute the fact that David Koresh was not Jesus Christ amongst them is he wore glasses.

He often slept with multiple young girls at a time and talked about how they pleased him sexually. Many of the people were not held in the compound against their will, they wanted to be with Koresh and to hear him preach

He is a lawyer, judge, and a member of the Supreme Court Justice system. Thomas was born in Pin Point, Georgia but was raised in Savannah. His mother, Leola Williams, was a domestic worker while his father was a farm worker.

Knoebels is an antique amusement park enraptured with addictive food, energized cheers and music, and crisp smoky scents. My family has enjoyed these components of entertainment for generations. Foods from sweet funnel cakes to creamy milkshakes have filled my ancestors stomachs to the point of exhaustion. The sounds of authentic wooden coasters, classic organ chimes, and young ride operators fill the air of this aged theme park. At night, chirping crickets, campfire ashes, and family laughter flood the brisk winds. These sounds and scents create a beautiful compilation of nostalgia and comfort.
