Skitzocow Caro - Schizo paranoid goon invents mind control sattelite, travels to Syria to get sick headshots

Where does he get money? His equipment is much better than your average syrian rebel.
Seeing how he's an American, who likely makes 3-4 times as much on welfare compared to that of your typical Syrian rebel, he likely saved up 5000-8000 USD and flew over there. To give you an idea about how poor Syrian rebels are, 5000 USD is more than enough for you to buy a good AK-47, an ample supply of ammo, 3 weeks worth of canned food, and possibly a mediocre vehicle as well as basic medical supplies. His weaponry however, was likely captured from a Syrian base by the FSA, and sold or given to him. Although a lot of countries are giving weapons and supplies to the FSA, so the exact origins are unknown.
 
I'm not impressed with this guy. This guy seems like he got what he deserves. Go pretend your some elite one man army in a hostile place and you'll most likely eat it. He probably ate it.
 
Wait, if the US gets more involved into Syria, to the point of it being a war on the scale of the Korean War, this man's name could be on a monument/memorial. Actually a scary thought to have, that your hard-earned money could be put to engrave this man's name in stone.

I hope you weren't planning on having a dark ending for the Jace Connors character like what apparently happened to Caro.
If there was a way i could film him going to syria and getting killed trying to do parkour trick kicks on actual terrorists I would have done it already. Maybe in an ideal world where I had a cancer diagnosis I'd fly to Gaza and get myself in a beheading video as long as they agreed to keep the sunglasses on. It would be the most genuine and realistic possible ending truest to the source material, not just Caro himself but all 15 year olds across the world who fantasize about shooting islams while looking at airsoft guns on EBay using Internet Explorer.
 
Based Caro. I've never been involved in the SA community, but I heard his story a while ago. I found it both hilarious and badass, but it was quite depressing that he had apparently gotten killed.

Glad to see the glorious fucker is still alive after all. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

In addition, this furthers my theory that lolcows are immortal. No matter how screwed they seem to be, they always make it out alive.
 
Hopefully now that he's been released and all his online shit has been dug up by the mainstream media, they'll be able to get him some serious professional help (apparently they've chosen not to comment at this time, probably smart).

The article says John Kerry had a personal hand in talks for Caro's release (along with middlemen Czech Republic + Syria + possibly Russia). Also pulled quotes from an interview he gave after coming back from Libya; like the rest of the article, he's painted in quite a different light here:
In June 2011, he traveled to Libya as a medical aid worker but then fought alongside forces battling Moammar Gaddafi’s government. Dawes said the Libyan government had been targeting medical workers. “It was at that point we decided we had no choice,” he told NPR in an interview in 2011 from Libya. “It was either this or perish from here.”

Dawes told NPR that at one point in Libya he started carrying a rifle and began working as a “counter-sniper.” He said he was never in the U.S. military but had 10 years of experience as a trained marksman.

In the interview, Dawes described his reasons for being in Libya. “See the world, experience new things, get in way over my head, but, you know, ultimately survive,” he said.

On a sadder note, people pushing for the release of Austin Tice, a journalist and former marine who went missing in Syria around the same time Caro did tweeted in response to news of his release; the WP article mentions that Tice's family took this as a sign that his release may be coming soon, and tweeted this when the Dawes exchange was made public:


I was genuinely happy to read this this morning, even though it was just a matter of time.

The GQ article which foreshadowed this several months ago.

http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/syria-isis-kevin-dawes

For those of you who are curious about his delusions, the GQ reporter gives a quick summary in line with OP's quotes:

If Dawes' new Canadian friend was a hopeful nonprofessional trying his hand at war reporting, he wasn't the only one. Given his precarious mental state, Dawes should never have been near a warzone. If it wasn't for the internet's spirit of can-do amateurism and the web of connections it opened up, he probably would have stayed at home. Over several years he'd convinced himself that his grandmother had been in the CIA and that a secretive network in the same organisation had tortured him, quietly sterilised him and done all sorts of other unspeakable things to get him to do their bidding. Aided by tiny computer chips and cameras, and by mysterious suggestions delivered during his sleep, they'd tried to brainwash him and otherwise mess with his head. They had planted tramps around his house to keep an eye on him; now they wanted him for a top-secret CIA stud farm. To do something about it, he'd taken a cab to the Russian Federation embassy in Washington, but they'd "told me to f*** off at the gate".
 
Well you know what they say, luck favors idiots and children, and this guy was an idiot manchild.

Still can't tell you how happy I am that this little fucker didn't end up another headless corpse in a grainy Internet video. Gives me some hope for the world.
 
What with other idiots now liable to go off to a war without thinking, I imagine other readers may get to this thread too and want an update that's more recent. To save others a search: As of Dec 2021 (archive) Kevin Dawes is stateside and filing suit against the Syrian government. Seems three years of homelessness after being imprisoned in a black site has really mellowed the guy out. All things considered even this outcome is better than a lot of others. PDF of the filing is attached.

On the one hand, getting blown to bits in the middle east would've been a fitting end for him, but on the other, I'm kinda glad he made it out and might actually be getting whatever kind of help he needs to be less of a fucking lunatic.

Good luck collecting on any kind of judgement against the fucking Syrian government though lmao
 
We are about to a bunch of Caros...

Give it a month and Ukraine will be stressing they only want former military people, not shithead with GoPros and hiking clothes trying to be Rambo. People have seriously disconnected from reality in the last 10 years
