It's uncertain that these people were in-fact drugged up and the guards themselves killed themselves as well. Moreover, it doesn't really excuse the point. It was insane. Insane for the people to be there. Insane for the guards to keep them there. Insane for their leaders to tell them to die.


Sure there were some crazies. But it wasn’t 900 people thinking suicide was a great idea.

They were held at gunpoint, probably drugged, and being told that they were going to face a fate worse than death if they didn’t kill then selves.

The vast majority of these people were almost certainly not happy with the setting, to say the least
