Revenge Stories When People Get Way Too Personal
I message Sgt Johnson and I explain the situation and we have a bit of back and forth.
I tell him that I think we can sort this whole mess out. The choice is simple:
Return the dress or send us $50.
Now as I’m messaging him waiting for a response I go through his page out of boredom and oh dear, it was a gold mine of anti-semitic viewpoints, straight-up racism, and so, so, so much more.
Now he’s responded.
Basically, he’s saying go away in a nice way. He doesn’t want to be bothered over a dress.
I decide before I respond, I’ll screenshot his profile. It was really helpful that not only did he list his employer as US Army, but also the unit he was in.
I also screenshot like 6 or 7 different very racist posts he had made.
I messaged him back and I told him he needs to do what is right, he needs to pay for the dress or return it. That he needs to do what’s right or it’s going to cost him.
He tells me his wife doesn’t wanna pay me and my black wife and that they are ‘burning the dress.’
Now I’m fuming, at this point I know what I’m going to do anyway but I tell him very plainly.
“You are going to pay me for the dress, OR I will forward screenshots of your account to your unit.”
He blocks me.
At this point I know I’m not going to get anything, so I inform Jada of the news, she’s mad but I tell her I got an idea.
That Monday I call up his unit and I ask to speak to the commander whose name I found on Google.
I get put through the commander secretary and I inform the secretary I have evidence that an NCO within the commander’s unit is a proud white supremacist.
