Hey, everyone..Tonight, we have a special episode because we’re introducing a brand new podcast called History Goon, and we have the host of the show on with us to tell us a story. Welcome Kevin, as he takes the lead, and tells us the story. This episode was recorded about 2 months ago.

The 1986FBI Miami shootout occurred on April 11, 1986, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S. (the specific area was incorporated as Pinecrest in 1996), when a small group of field agents for the FBI attempted to apprehend William Russell Matix and Michael Lee Platt, who were suspected of committing a series of violent crimes in and around the Miami metropolitan area.

Although they had partially surrounded the suspects after maneuvering them off a local road, the agents involved quickly found their firepower was outmatched by the weapons which Matix and Platt had in their vehicle. During the gun battle which ensued, Platt in particular was able to repeatedly return fire despite sustaining multiple hits.

Two Special Agents died from their wounds, while five other agents were injured by gunfire. The shootout ended when both Matix and Platt were killed.

The incident is infamous as one of the most violent episodes in the history of the FBI and is often studied in law enforcement training. The scale of the shootout led to the introduction of more effective handguns, primarily switching from revolvers to semi-automatics, in the FBI and many police departments around the United States.

Some cults aren’t religious. Tonight on CKCB Features, I’m talking with a survivor named Al Tessier, who was part of the Acting Lab Senior Ensemble. An acting class, led by a Hollywood reject, who later turned his organization into a cult. This is a fascinating story that reminds us to be vigilant in any situation that is led by a charismatic figure. Small cults can be extremely damaging.
