An American soldier stationed at Fort Polk in Louisiana was arrested last week after he told users on the popular messaging platform Discord that he planned to conduct a mass shooting at a synagogue.
Jakob Marcoulier, 22, was arrested on Thursday and charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce after the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received a tip in February that he had made threats toward synagogues, according to the US attorney’s office for the Western District of Louisiana.
According to court documents, the FBI obtained audio from Discord in which Marcoulier allegedly said, “After this deployment if the Jews still have reign over our government, I am going to walk into a synagogue with my AK, with a 75-round drum mag, and all of my extra mags, with my level four plates, and my haka helmet that’s three plus, and I am going to kill every single Jew I know inside of that synagogue. And that’s my goal in life.”
During the communications, Marcoulier told the other users, “You guys will never do anything about but I will. I just have to finish this. I have to go back overseas and do what I have to do. And then you’ll see me in the news. I promise you.”
He also allegedly said that he would “kill these motherf***ers in order to make sure the white youth is f***ing secured.”
It was not immediately clear when Marcoulier made the comments, but the United States and Israel jointly attacked Iran on February 28 following a buildup of US troops in the Middle East.
The Iran war has put Jewish institutions across the country and around the world on high alert, with attacks on synagogues, including arsons in Europe and a synagogue ramming in suburban Detroit last month.
“Threats against synagogues and Jewish Americans are threats to the religious freedom promised to every single one of us, and this Office and our law enforcement partners are committed to protecting those freedoms,” United States Attorney Zachary A. Keller said in a statement.

Sounds like a “Catch-22” moment to me. Young Jakob wants out of the military.
So I don’t understand that name. It’s odd, but I have no idea what ethnic group or religion he might be from. Do you?
Maybe Slavic of some form?
It seems we have a lot of mentally imbalanced people that following liberal talking points.
What could he have remotely believed was done wrong by any of those potential people? It is all fabricated in his head over Israel being the reason we bombed Iran? This is a net good, even if Israel did not exist.
What do American Jews have to do with Israel?
It is Israeli politicians who make policy, not people in a church/synagogue.
Go kill Israelis, not fellow Americans.
This is what I found: Marcoulier has its roots in northern France. It is derived from the Old French personal name Marcol, which itself is a diminutive of Marc, meaning warlike or of Mars, the Roman god of war. That perfectly suits this nutjob.
White guy. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Orange jumpsuit.
And how about the 10%+ of sitting congressmen and senators who are dual Israeli citizens? Are they only half-fellow Americans? Think of the half-citizens! At least they can always flee to Israel where extradition to the US is dicey at best.
“ Maybe Slavic of some form?”
Marcoulier Looks Cajun to me. Jakob looks Germanic. French and German together might be Alsatian or Cameroonian.
Lovely.... and isn’t discord the site that the guy who shot Charlie Kirk was on? Wonder what his service record looks like? Or if his chain of command was aware of him?
Wha’ Happen?
Good ole White American christian home breed terrorist.
Say it ain’t so Joe.
He don’t have no bible name. Heresy!
I’ll wait for the cognitive dissonance to explain it all away. 😄
Liar. NO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE DUAL CITIZENS OF ISRAEL.
Go kill Israelis, not fellow Americans.
?????????????????????????????????
Have your head examined for making statements like this.
Name them. Provide evidence of their dual citizenship.
You can’t.
“So I don’t understand that name.”
Louisiana... Sounds like a coon ass.
Interesting spelling on that first name. Jakob instead of Jacob. Was this guy born here? I am having my doubts.
Is this guy registered to vote? If he is what are the odds this terrorist is a DemonRat?
I disagree. No one should be killing anyone.
