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.

Weirdly specific that they wanted to go from North Texas to DC to re ruit mercenaries to invade Haiti...

Or that they thought they'd recruit enough to take over an island of 87,077 people

I was going to lookup the population and expected it to be like 100-200 people but 87k people???? I would love to see what kind of operational plans they had to pull that off. What size occupying force would even be needed? Probably at least 1-2 thousand mercenaries??? One sailboat ain’t fitting that size group.

Apparently they were gonna try to recruit an army of homeless people in D.C.

Seems optimistic

Population - 87,077 (2015) - Wikipedia

Even a tenth of that, and half of those being male and half of those adults. You need a lot of men and firepower to murder 2k people, people with all the motivation in the world to prevent you from doing so

I had "Army of DC Homeless invade Dominican Republic" on my 2025 Bingo card. Swing and a miss.

Why DC homeless? Texas has tons of homeless people?

They’ve been told that the godless strongholds of the evil democrats have a much higher homeless rate than their glorious republican home state.
