From Shooting News Weekly: "Ex Marine Arrested For Planning Murder Spree in ‘Gun-Free’ Zones ‘In the White Community’." From the article:
The Marines kicked Joshua Cobb, 23, out of the Corps just days ago. Now the FBI has arrested him for a plot to commit a murder spree targeting white Americans. Moreover, the US Attorney’s office claims Cobb planned to do it in “gun-free” venues where he knew he’d face little to no likelihood of facing a good guy with a gun.
The former Marine write that he wanted to create “mayhem” in the white community close to an “important holiday to their race.” It seems he was a particularly thoughtful lunatic. And while the mainstream media have reported the story, few have keyed in on Cobb’s intent to specifically target gun-free venues.
Here’s an example of Cobb’s writings, from the US Attorney’s press release:
I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles. Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don’t care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can. As of today I have officially began planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey, I have not chosen a exact date but I am going to be sure it is close to an important holiday to their race. I have a location in mind already which I have frequented for the past year and I am certain nobody there is armed to be able to stop me from spraying them to the ground. I have already acquired 2 of the 4 firearms I plan to use for my attack, and I also know my entry and exit points already after the mayhem.
It's not clear from the article why he was only arrested this year.

So, why did he take time to write that all out?
ReplyDeleteWhy do any mass shooter spend the time to write out long manifestos? Perhaps it is an attempt to justify what they plan on doing.
