the island has a population of 87,000 people, by the way.
LOL they're lucky they got caught, they would've got fisherman'd
Woulda got Resident Evil 4'd, except they're the plagas
...and surrounded on three sides by Haiti proper, with 11 million people.
That's why the one guy knew he needed a partner to pull it off. Its too much for one guy to handle.
Weisenburg and Thomas had plans to purchase a sailboat, firearms and ammunition as well as recruit homeless people from Washington, D.C. to serve as their "mercenary force" as they invaded the Island of Gonave and staged a coup d'etat.
NGL i want to read their plan. If they did this much work it implies they knew there were that many folks right? But they were only gonna get one boat so...
damnit i want to see the exact depth of their delusion
what the fresh hell is this 
Part of their heritage.
The two men created operational and logistical plans and learned to speak the Haitian Creole language
I need to hear the Y'all Qaeda dialect of Haitian Creole. The mugshots of these goobers do not scream "I could learn a more difficult kind of French".
1000% they used Duolingo which has some significant weak points on Haitian Creole, per some online linguists.
I mean, predictable outcome. The US government does not like competition.
The US government actually has a proud tradition of supporting filibusters.
All they had to do was go to their local Marines recruitment center and they could get paid to do it. Real dumb move to try to do it for free and get caught
Sure, and we’re the extremists for wanting to leave them alone.
How we let these monsters roam free for even a day is beyond me.
Just average American culture things.
they could've just joined the military ¯_(ツ)_/¯
One of them did
what. Are we doing filibustering but stupider now? First as tragedy now as farce but for something that was already farcical and evil?
I saw this posted somewhere yesterday and the consensus seemed to be that this was originally just some gross fantasy/fetish shit for themselves and then they ended up talking themselves into actually taking steps towards it? Very confusing on its own,, but the original post also mentioned child porn and gave zero details on where the child porn came into the plot
and then they ended up talking themselves into actually taking steps towards it?
The article has them recruiting people, engaging in education to learn ""necessary skills", learning Haitian creole, buying weapons and planning the logistics.
the child porn came into the plot
They were gonna kill all the men and make all the women and children their slaves. The "and children" part kind of implies child sex assault
Trump to the rescue via a pardon or whatever?
If convicted of the federal conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country, Weisenburg and Thomas face up to life in federal prison. If convicted of the federal production of child pornography charges, both face at least 15 years and up to 30 years in federal prison.
SMH you cant even manifest some more destiny in 2025 because of woke

U.S. Attorney Jay R. Comb announced on Thursday that Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, of Allen, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, of Argyle, have been charged with conspiracy to murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country and production of child pornography.
Weisenburg and Thomas had plans to purchase a sailboat, firearms and ammunition as well as recruit homeless people from Washington, D.C. to serve as their "mercenary force" as they invaded the Island of Gonave and staged a coup d'etat.
Gonâve Island has a population of about 87,000.
white supremacy, chomos, and not understanding geography, it's the am*rican trifecta!
Mfs thought they lived in 1820, where you get some whiteys on a boat and start a new slave colony and the US integrates it as a state

Goddamn them...
That's Texan heritage and 'culture' for you, lol.
It's like watching this and then immediately getting hit over the head with a cartoon mallet 
AMAZING movie
Fucking leave Haiti alone. Haven't they been through enough?
Kinda seems like that'd be hard for just two guys to pull off.
Raze Texas Khan style
this is why we need to ban the filibuster
