A solo riff from me on a truly unhinged story that defines “peak white people behavior.” Two Dallas guys allegedly tried to recruit a homeless paramilitary in D.C., sail to a Haitian island, kill the men, and enslave the women and kids. I unpack the receipts, the mindset, and what this says about America’s radicalization pipeline with zero euphemisms.

I bet you this is probably gonna be high on your list, so I'm gonna tell you about something that was just reported in the courthouse news service, and here's the headline.
Two Texas Men, because of course, Texas. Indicted in plot to kill men, enslaved women and children on a Haitian island. Now when you hear that headline, if it isn't setting off alarm bells in your head about, yep, that is one of the most peak white people things to do, you're probably haven't been paying attention and i'm probably pretty sure that you don't have to guess who these two people voted for in the last election. I'm sure that they're big patriots.

Murder all the male inhabitants of that island and use women and children as sex slaves.
If there was a news story that said, yep, this is a totally Republican thing to do, that's this. There is nothing more Republican than a couple of 20-year-old dudes from Dallas planning on rounding up a homeless paramilitary force and sailing off to Haiti to create an island of sex slaves.
That is peak. White Republican male things to do. We see it in the news all the time, and I bet you would be shocked to learn that there were no trans people, no drag queens involved in this plot. So what's the rest of the story?
We have Gavin Rivers Weisberg and Tanner, Christopher Thomas. Two people who sound like they would be serial killers.

And if you get caught producing it, you should probably be put through a wood chipper. That wasn't in the article. That's just me editorializing, but you get the idea. So these two Texans spent. A year planning to recruit this expeditionary force to storm Ghana Island, which is off the coast of Haiti, to carry out their sick fantasies.
They plan to purchase a sailboat, firearms, ammunition, and then recruit members of the DC area, homeless population to serve as their mercenary force. Now we all know that red state education. Isn't exactly the best. And when you think about this plan is drawn directly from a couple of people who probably had to cheat on their GEDs to pass.
And in their minds, I'm sure this sounded like a great idea.

Thomas. Enlisted in the Air Force and Weisberg enlisted in the North Texas Fire Academy. I'm really curious what that Fire Academy is teaching that would be applicable in terms of military tactics and procedures. After that, they brought bought plane tickets to go to Thailand to attend sailing school.
Now, understandably, none of these. Preparation efforts really worked out too well. The one guy got kicked out of the Air Force and the other guy couldn't afford the classes to learn sailing. Once he got to Thailand, I bet Plan C probably involved them trying to join ICE to get that $50,000 signing bonus.

Each defendant faces up the life in prison on conspiracy charges, and up to five years on the child. Material that they were planning on producing. They're accused of coercing a minor on top of all of this, because of course, that again, is one of the most Republican things to do, is to try and figure out new and creative ways to abuse children.
Both of them were arrested recently and they're currently being held in the Collin County Jail according to jail records.

Presumably half of that population with a handful of people so that they could live out their little rape fantasies. When I say that there needs to be an intervention on certain communities and certain segments of the white population, this is a great example. This is one in a long line of many examples of all sorts of whacked out behavior from the Red Hat crowd that almost always.
Ends poorly.
How much do you want to bet that once this case gets. Through the trial process that whoever they're related to is gonna be angling for some sort of pardon so that they don't have to face the consequences of their action.
