Warning: this one is kind of dark, and deals with cults ------------------
The year was 79, and the location was sunny Califonia. Peace, love, and happiness were all around in the air.
In southern Cali, sits a remote farm ranch secluded from the outside world. And on that ranch lived a small collection of young men and women who were overseen by an older man in charge.
To his followers, his name was daddy. But to the outside world, his name was Ari Levinson. Notorious cult leader and criminal.
Everybody knew them was the rainbow tribe because they had followers of all different backgrounds and origins. Ari was a Vietnam veteran who was tired of the way the government treated veterans and citizens in the country.
After being sent home with an injury, Ari was able to witness the civil rights movements and hated to see how people of color were being treated.
So he started a movement around town, slowly adding new young people to his cause. He went from having small gatherings at his house to having large rallies in the woods.
These meetings would consist of sitting around bonfires and preaching radical ideas to the masses.
Month after month, his numbers grew. And over time so did his power and influence. And as anyone can imagine, the power absolutely went to his head.
At first, the group would stand outside of political leader's houses with signs. But Ari thought that wouldn't be enough. So that later developed into burglary, which then developed into assault and in extreme cases murder.
However, as of lately the murder part was starting to become more frequent. Causing an issue with one particular member. And this member just so happened to be Daddy's favorite little girl.
