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 about his plans.
The FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received a tip in February about threats being made toward synagogues by a Discord user named "el.bostino," according to court documents.
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.”
U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana Zachary A. Keller said threats against synagogues and Jewish Americans "are threats to the religious freedom promised to every single one of us."
