Their alleged goal was to take over Gonave — a tropical island of about 100,000 people

The plot involved buying a sailboat, weapons and ammunition and recruiting homeless people in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area “to serve as a mercenary force.”

Yeah… I don’t think that’s gonna work.

When I read the headline I assumed it’d be some flyspeck private island where most of the residents are listed as staff. But nope, they wanted to do a full on Columbus and slaughter around 50k people. Which of course, the world would definitely just ignore and just let Gonave become Murder Rape island.

I’m glad they have other charges, because this “plan” is so stupid and unworkable that It’ll be hard to prove that it’s not just some fucked up fantasy that they were larping.
