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.

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.
