US Army soldier threatened to 'walk into a synagogue with my AK' and 'kill every single Jew,' DOJ says

Source: NBC News

A soldier stationed at Fort Polk army base in Louisiana was arrested on Thursday after threatening to walk into a synagogue and "kill every single Jew," according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana.

Jakob Marcoulier, 22, was charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce after telling people on Discord about his plans.

----

In audio recordings secured by the FBI, an individual later determined to be Marcoulier could be heard saying that after his deployment, "if the Jews still have reign over our government, I am going to walk into a synagogue with my AK" and magazines, and "kill every single Jew I know inside of that synagogue."

Marcoulier also told others in the Discord chat that they would see him in the news, adding that he needed to kill Jewish people "in order to make sure the white youth is ... secured.”

... after a short stint in infantry AIT, a handful of us got pulled from formation, told to pack our gear, and we were trucked to the "civilized" side of Polk for training as clerks. I served the rest of my two year hitch in Germany.

It felt like a reprieve. Prost!

of this shit

"in order to make sure the white youth is ... secured.”

As I teach in history classes, there is good white and bad white. Jews will always be bad white.

Transmitting a demand for ransom of a kidnapped person is punishable by 20 years, but transmitting a threat to injure is only punishable by 5 years.

I really hope there is a built in Russian nesting doll structure wrt layers of access.

This is a nutcase. But Trump is presumably ushering in a lot of poorly whetted and transactional people at all levels of the security state.
Trump is so unprincipled I am not sure he underestands reality very well. Some of these things like maybe not adding poisons to food are less snooty liberalism than generally universally regarded as good ideas.

And hopefully at least at that level, for their own rears, there is some built in security and stability.

This is the worst thing I have ever seen. I wish I had never - well it might be too ott to say - ever gone to the US at all and had its repercussions hit where I live locally with this location also getting flooded with the same Saudi Arabia’s Noom or Sidewalks Lab type encroaching technosphere that is clearly illicit and invasive and
I hope there is some residual marginally democratice regulatory structure left in India as well that logically extends..

It is no damn use expecting sanity these days.

Hang in there Behind in the Aegis. I don’t remember if it was via your posts or randomly that I..no I think it just popped into my head.

As a female marijuana user with a very friction filled relationship with the tech sector, at the start of Trump 2.0, when via a random search I found The Stonewall Riots and read about them it seemed to fit...

As a random female civilian scientist and unfortunately for me a lefty marijuana user/solitary catlady in a crumbling democracy (US or India), that is my relationship with the tech sector which has been getting more and more aggressive and invasive with each passing year. I prefer the price gougers of Apple to many others and individual techies at Apple/Microsoft/Facebook, India and Tata etc are bound to be decent. But, the ceos..

Besides you can’t really reach decent people inside shifty systems from the outside because unlike Trump, transactionalism is alarming to me, though we probably have similar levels of understanding of constitutional laws.

This cannot be an easy time for the truly competent keeping everything from at least outright exploding.

I wonder what happened to Noom..Unlikely to have been shutdown since it was Saudi Arabia.

This is an example of the pervasive hatred toward Jewish people that some of us keep pointing out.

On the left, it's hidden behind euphemisms: it's the Zionists. Sometimes the right refers to globalists or internationalists. The people listening to them know who they mean, of course.
