So, Austin Gillespie, whose Red Pill moniker is Augustus Sol Invictus, is a Florida lawyer who was once married with four kids. We've met him on this blog before. His wife left him a few years ago after his experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs really started affecting his mind in bizarre ways. He started hob-nobbing with Satanic Cults; drinking goat's blood; and finally found the Manosphere and the philosophy of Game. This of course convinced him that women were collectively responsible for his problems while at the same time he was boasting online about being a great Pick-Up Artiste. (PUA). He did manage to 'succeed' in encountering a few girls: we know this because several filed Restraining Orders and other various legal charges against him.
Just before Christmas---probably after stewing over Red Pill blogs about rebellious wives and the sin of Eve---Augustus decided that having an estranged wife was bad for his image as a Manly Alpha Leader. So he drove to South Carolina and demanded that his wayward wife return. When she refused, he forced her and the kids at gunpoint into the car and returned to Florida.
After a week-and-a-half of putting his Game Philosophy into action, Augustus was convinced that his ex-wife had repented and decided to go shopping. That gave the former Mrs. Gillespie a chance to gather her brood and escape to the nearest police station. Augustus, who is well-known to the local police, was apprehended at the Melbourne Square Mall; according to some reports scuffling with officers and screaming obscenities as he was led away.
While Augustus did behave consistently with his Red Pill Philosophy, American law considers what he did kidnapping. Augustus Sol Invictus is currently being held without bond in the Brevard County Jail, awaiting extradition to South Carolina. I'm not a legal expert, but it looks at this point as if Augustus is on his way to the clink for a very long time; and in fact we've probably heard the last of him.
Red Pills intentionally seek out vulnerable women to prey upon; but one thing they are skilled at doing is manipulating people and they weaponize feminine psychology. Not very many women are immune to this type of grooming---as Augustus' case shows. It really would behoove single women (and mothers of single daughters) to study the Red Pills. I don't mean their goofy philosophies, but the actual tactics they employ against women. Knowing how to recognize Game is the best defense against it. A good starting point would be to look up Roissy's 16 Commandments, Rollo Tomassi's Ironclad Rules, just about anything written on the Dalrock blog, and Dark Triad PUA.
P.S.} Since the Red Pills have declared war on all of us Gamma Trolls it would appear that the Legal Legion of Evil is now short one lawyer. E-mail Vox Day if you're interested in suing our blog pro bono.
Uhg, so glad they arrested him. Those poor kids.
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about women studying the red pills and their tactics. We actually call those things red flags, manipulative tactics, gaslighting, all pre-cursers to abuse. There are lots of reasons why many women are vulnerable to these cheap parlor tricks, our biology, a history of child abuse, the culture around us, and a weak relationship with Jesus, the real deal, not this cultian rubbish. When He is first in your life and fulfilling your spiritual needs, you're less likely to turn to drugs, alcohol, or bad relationships. That's true of both men and women, I suppose. Anybody can be a victim, but you just don't get stuck there if you got some spiritual support.
Yes, thankfully he's going where he can't hurt anybody else. He also was known for (or strongly suspected of) intimidating witnesses which is how he wriggled out of his earlier scrapes with the law. This however might be a Federal crime and he's not going to squirm out of that quite so easily.
