This guy was posting his plans to commit race based mass murder months before he joined the Marines. Doesn't our military do even a cursory background check?

"A Marine was arrested in New Jersey after he allegedly threatened to kill White people in various social media posts and apparently began planning a mass shooting, federal prosecutors said.

Joshua Cobb, 23, of Trenton, was brought into custody on Friday, May 10, and was charged with transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce after he allegedly posted statements online bragging about his interest in becoming a serial killer and threatening to "cause mayhem on the White community," according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey."

The military only focuses on far right white nationalists. Everyone else is ignored.

“Lloyd Austin ramps up the fight against right wing extremism in the military” 2021

“Pentagon report warns of threat from white nationalism” 2021

General Charles Q Brown from 2021 speaking about white nationalists:

“My concern is that individuals will put things on social media that they would never say to your face, OK, and to me, that is an indicator. And that’s why being able to take a look at social media will also tell you a little bit about the character of the individual you are bringing into the service.”

But here is the actual truth:

Bottom line, the military is only looking to scrutinize white people. They ignore everyone else, because it is assumed that if you are a minority, you share the current administration’s ideology.

I don't know why any White American born male, or female, would ever join the armed forces at this point.

I have several retired military family members and they agree, they would never enlist today under the current "leadership", or really total lack of credible leadership.

They have painted a target on the backs of Whites with falsities and spin. Then wonder why they're not enlisting. Ignorant, irresponsible, and shameful.

So "according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey."

Then why all the "allegedly"?
They should know if he said it or not.

What was the race of this individual? Was he a self-hating white guy, black or what?

DA's always say allegedly until a conviction occurs. Otherwise the judges may throw out the case saying the DA influenced the jury pool. Newspapers and other media say allegedly to prevent libel lawsuits.

That's quite a reach to try to cast shade on this actually having happened.

What is wrong with people? We can blame the Left for this. They have convinced far too many that White people and Jews are the root of everything that is wrong in their lives and wrong with this country. It's actually surprising that more have not stepped up and taken up the Fight against "Whitey"....
