THEORY ABOUT CARVER'S COMMUNITY - VERY IMPORTANT!

So, since episode 2 we've been thinking Bonnie's a traitor and shit, and now with the trailer out, we see Tavia is also a "traitor" with "no compassion".
But, let's remember how they both behaved in 400 days, Bonnie was very nice, and trusted Tavia with going to her community, she also warmed up to Clem, and Tavia was also pretty nice, she told them it was their choice to come with her or not, and didn't even talk about any capture plan while she was with the radio survivor away from anyone to hear her. We can conclude from that, that Tavia and Bonnie's nature is not like Carver's, and that they won't join a "militia" with a man like Carver out of free will, mark the words FREE WILL.
This is where the theory kicks in, Carver, with an unknown amount of people or even by himself, joined Tavia's community and slowly took the leadership. When he had enough power in his hands, he manipulated his people into going on a hunt for the cabin group who ran away, and people who didn't join his militia were forced to, and people like Tavia and Bonnie had to do it in order to stay in the community, you can even see Bonnie couldn't look in Walter's eyes!
To back this up, I want to remind to you about another case of a guy who manipulated his people like puppets. In "Rise Of The Governor", Brian Blake, who joined Woodberry and slowly became the psychopath known as the Governor. Carver, like Brian, both have charm and can manipulate people into doing horrible things.
The conclusion is that Tavia nor Bonnie chose the thug life, the thug life chose them.
So, what do you think? Holes? Something to add?

Carter's love of violence isn't what makes him so dangerous; it's his charisma and cunning intellect. You'd be amazed at the terrible things an otherwise kind and rational human being will do to impress or appease an authority figure.
The same thing happened too many times to count throughout history.
To paraphrase General Einsenhower: "Leadership is the art of making people follow your orders because they want to." Unfortunately, the same mantra applies to the bad guys too.
I don't know enough about Tavia to ascertain why she's in league with Carver. It could very well be the case that she was forced to participate in the militia. in any case, we may find out this episode.
In short, I admit that Bonnie and Tavia aren't the type to willingly engage in the brutal affairs of the camp. That said, I find it much more likely that Carver won their allegiance through lying and manipulation, rather than force.
Interesting theory, by the way. I really look forward to seeing how this plays out once the episode is released.
Finally. Somebody mention this. Bonnie is not the evil person here. I hope she come with us to Wellington. I don't wanna her death.
I mean all this you are talking about here guys, isnt gonna change a fact I'm gonna use any possible second to escape that camp.
I agree with you AWSOMO that it probably was a good community but then went bad because of Carver.
wrong. You always have a choice to do the right thing, no one can force Bonnie to hold that AK-47 and point it at the cabin group. Bonnie made her own choices and she will have to live with the consequences of what she did.
Carver may be a lot of things, but he is only one man. Give me a break.
She chose to let him die.
