        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

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    Goddamn them…

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
