Is this the man who threatened to “cause mayhem on the white community”? (Photo credit: TikTok.com @cobbx)

One would think that news the FBI has arrested an active US Marine for threatening to go on a shooting rampage against US citizens would be a major news story.
But one would think wrong. As is so often the case, we have ourselves an inconvenient perpetrator and an unprotected target group.
Last Friday at a Marine base in Twentynine Palms, California, federal agents arrested 23-year-old black New Jersey native Joshua Cobb and charged him with transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce. Their case hinges around this social-media post Cobb allegedly wrote on December 17, 2022:
I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i [sic] 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 [sic] planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey, I have not chosen a [sic] 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.

According to the FBI, Cobb had willingly consented to an interview at the Marine base in April and admitted he’d written the post. They also claim he said that he continued to, in their words, “have homicidal ideations and still harbored feelings of contempt towards those whom he perceived as privileged white people in New Jersey.” Cobb is quoted as saying during the interview:
I had another [idea] where it was, like, a grocery store because obviously a grocery store is, like, almost always crowded. Specifically this is where the white thing gets in because that’s where I was feeling I wanted to hit, like, a specific . . . hit a specific grocery store that was in Robbinsville cause it was, like, one of them grocery stores, like, where you just see all these fucking rich-ass white people. . . . And then like the other idea was, like . . . it was just go into like a rich white area and just, like, start shooting.
Sites that Cobb specified he wanted to attack were a Jersey Strong gym and an Aldi grocery store in Robbinsville, New Jersey, a census-designated place on Trenton’s eastern outskirts.
Trenton is a former factory town ruined by the one-two punch of deindustrialization and desegregation. It’s yet another blown-to-shit New Jersey city in the rusted, carcinogenic vein of Camden, Newark, and Paterson. As of 2020, nine out of ten Trentonians were either black or Hispanic, while a piddling 9.36% were white.
The official criminal complaint lists several other messages, both from social media and Cobb’s phone, that echo what one tends to hear from serial killers and mass murderers along the lines of I fucking hate all of you, there’s no place in this cold and cruel world for people like me, you’re fake and I’m real, the world has always mistreated and misunderstood me, so I will make you feel the pain you’ve made me feel, ad nauseam.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
In some posts, Cobb allegedly brags that he takes great glee in torturing and killing cats, which is standard fare for people who eventually graduate to becoming mass murderers and serial killers.
It’s not as if black mass shooters are rare. As is the case with serial killers and murderers in general, blacks are overrepresented in mass shootings. But one wouldn’t know any of that from reading the news.
During the interview with the feds, Cobb allegedly expressed feelings of kinship with other mass shooters such as Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, and Peyton Gendron, a white man who wrote a manifesto decrying the Great Replacement before murdering ten black people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York in May of 2022.
What’s astounding (but really shouldn’t be) is the degree to which the feds and the mainstream media — assuming they covered the story at all — tiptoed around the fact that this case involves a black man allegedly announcing that he specifically intended to wipe out white people. The reluctance to name him as a black person is similar to the media’s habit of referring to rampaging coon-mobs as “teens.”
The headline to the United States Attorney’s Office press release about Cobb’s arrest is “Mercer County Man Charged with Communicating Threats to Attack White People.” The headline carefully slaloms around the fact that the “man” communicating these threats is black. The only instance of the word “black” in the entire press release occurs when it quotes Cobb self-identifying as “a black male.” The same principle applies to the ten-page criminal complaint: The word “black” only appears twice, both times when citing Cobb’s own words. It’s almost as if they’re afraid to note that a black man is threatening to shoot up a bunch of white people, so they let him do the dirty work for them.
The most egregious case of “fear of naming the jigaboo” occurs in this article from Lawyer Herald — not only is the word “black” entirely absent from the article, but the stock photo they chose depicts a black female lawyer staring disapprovingly at a white criminal suspect dressed in orange scrubs. Egads!
At least The New York Times bucked the trend with the headline “Black Man Charged With Threatening to Kill White People in Mass Shooting.”
I couldn’t find a picture of Cobb anywhere in the mainstream media. After some digging, I found evidence suggesting that Cobb used to post on Watch People Die, described as a site “dedicated to uploading media depicting real-life deaths of people, such as workplace accidents, vehicular manslaughter, gun violence, suicides, and various forms of homicide.” A poster on the site claims that Cobb had an account there under the handle “1dayUsuffer” and alleges that he also posted videos on TikTok under the screen name “cobbx.” A brief perusal of the TikTok page strongly suggests that this is indeed Cobb, because apart from the screen name “cobbx,” the videos show a young black man in full military gear, pumping iron at the gym and listening to gunfire from his apartment in Trenton, New Jersey.
Several things in this case don’t quite add up. One is the fact that not only did Cobb agree to talk to the police, he also allegedly confessed to making the posts and then dug an even deeper hole for himself by admitting he continues to harbor homicidal fantasies. Most black thugs from the ghetto are at least criminally savvy enough to never talk to the po-po without a lawyer present. Another puzzling factoid is a very odd post where he said, “I’m just leaving evidence for whoever investigates my case.” That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of an aspirant killer deliberately leaving evidence for investigators.
To me, the most plausible explanation is that the FBI apprehended him before he could perpetrate a mass shooting not because they care about protecting white citizens — or, for that matter, anyone from New Jersey — but because the optics of an anti-white mass murder by a black member of the armed forces in the style of former Navy enlistee Mark “The New Orleans Sniper” Essex undermines the current canard that white-supremacist terror is the biggest threat facing the country. So they preemptively busted him, issued a hasty press release, and downplayed the fact that he’s black, hoping that no one would notice.
If that’s their strategy, it’s worked so far. Hardly anyone has noticed this story. I expect that the not-noticing will intensify.

Well, at least they’re throwing the book at him with hate crimes charges, by golly. I mean, like, they are, aren’t they? Uhm…
A story that does not fit the official narrative is no story at all. The official line is that the military is filled with ‘far-right’ extremists. Robbinsville, NJ might go outside and check what the actual time and weather are…. They seem to increasingly vote Democrat the past 2 decades.

He was doing everything he could to be stopped. For that, I’ll give him credit.
Unfortunately there are many thousands more like him, harboring the same thoughts and intentions, who are far more circumspect.
I would pay money to have him explain to me exactly what his struggles are that white people would never understand. I would also love to hear how the eradication of Aldi shoppers would solve his problems. In a just world his explanation would be broadcast the same way a State of the Union address would be. Maybe that would help to wake whitey up. In the meantime, I’ll continue to shop at Aldi’s. It’s worth the risk. You can’t beat their prices.
His audio testimony would be the best advertisement you could want since Willie Horton’s work furlough. If this doesn’t open the eyes of more white Americans I’m not sure anything could. If only there was a candidate for our cause. Sadly no.
It’s what Yuri Bezmenov said. “No matter how much irrefutable proof you show people, they will never believe it “. I’ve shown some white liberals Black twitter. It has no effect on their opinion of blacks.
Thanks. You cured me. Sometimes I waver about including a gun with all the other stuff I carry in my pockets. (“Gee, I’m just going to pick up a couple of things at the grocery store.”)
That he was so upfront with the police does seem strange. I would not be surprised if he figures that no matter what he confesses to, he’s black and therefore bulletproof. Some judge somewhere will practice “restorative justice” give him a small fine or community service, maybe some free anger management classes and then viola, it’s over. He’s free to go and now has a lucrative book and/or acting offer. Also, he’s black, he’s a narcissist, he hears Joe Biden saying how white supremacy is the biggest threat to this nation, and as a Marine, he must take out as many whites as he can. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he figures that if he confesses now, the legal principle of “double jeopardy” may protect him when he actually does kill whites. It’s bizarre but possible.
“…he hears Joe Biden saying how white supremacy is the biggest threat to this nation…”
“White supremacy is the most dangerous terrorist threat to America” – Joe Biden
And up is down
war is peace
freedom is reactionary
diversity is our strength
freakishness is beauty
perversion is liberation
2 + 2 = 5
poison is healthy
blacks and 3rd world immigrants are good
whites are bad
He said that to a graduating class of black college graduates. White supremacists, of course, burned down downtown Minneapolis. Obama told another class of black college grads, “I appreciate groups like Black Lives Matter.” So take it to the streets, impressionable young people. He and the missus will be on Richard Branson’s private island if you need ’em.
The only other black people on Richard Branson’s private island are the help and maybe Roland Alphonso And The Soul Vendors.

I wouldn’t mind tasting dog, although I haven’t been to the part of China where it is a speciality. However, anything related to feline torturing or killing demands automatic jail time and possible execution, should the offender repeat his first crime.
“leaving evidence for the investigators”
Haha, he sure did! Recording a rap song about it and … Oh, wait, sorry, I confused him with the murderous rapper in the Key & Peele sketch.

After reading this, I trolled Amren and it showed a piece from Youtube where ishowspeed, some black rap/sponger/etc. was yakking on the street and started barking at a little dog, going into its muzzle and yapping, and the dog bit him. hilarious, and good for the dog. Delightful seeing the loudmouth whine and hold his nose.
I scroll through X just to find content like this; blacks getting served the same shit they dish out, and have come across some great stuff lately. That dog was good. There was another of a shirtless negro stopping traffic and trying to terrorize people and a guy came up from behind him and slammed him with what looked like a golf club. It was GLORIOUS. A two-fer, actually. Black and stopping traffic!
The best part of the black dog-nose-bite thing was the whining black guy barking angrily back at the dog, as if ‘talking’ to it in dog lingo would make it understand how aggrieved he was with its self-defense chomping. One of the stupidest things I have ever seen, and truly beyond hilarious.
I’m noticing a pattern of not noticing patterns…
Forget segregation! I want these people repatriated back to Africa!
Good grief, I’ve had enough!
As great as that would be I’m sure there would be a huge pushback from the peoples of africa because, like everyone else, they would not want that most vile sub-species on planet Earth within their midst.
Ghana and Kenya both have right of return programs for blacks in America, where citizenship is streamlined, along with many other benefits
A black man moved his family to Kenya from the USA, and they “love it” and the people “accept them.” You can find tons of these videos all over YouTube.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AHp57tTWLFo&pp=ygUfQmxhY2sgZ3V5IG1vdmVzIGZhbWlseSB0byBrZW55YQ%3D%3D
Both countries are large (Ghana the size of 2 New Yorks, and Kenya the size of 5 New Yorks) and both have a lot of undeveloped land. I would be ok with a deal where we help build Walmarts, apartments, houses, grocery stores, schools, etc, in order to assist the ability to take in however many million would be new citizens there. Fair is fair m
Even if we had to grandfather in some older blacks to finish up (perhaps those over 45 or something) a drastic reduction would still go a long way towards helping our USA
We need to have these discussions now. The days of segregation didn’t work and it’s long past time to pursue stronger measures
Never happen in anywhere near meaningful numbers. The one thing American Africans must have in order to survive is access to White largesse and civilization. They know it, and hate both themselves and us for it.
If we ever decide to confront this problem, it will be done here.
What do you mean “If we confront this problem, it will be here?”
Ian I meant we aren’t going to solve the problem by enticing Blacks to move to Africa.
That won’t be a viable solution.
I believe there is an intelligence to the universe excepting certain parts of New Jersey.
Jim Goad’s reading of the ridiculous rants of the future microbiologist are just too on point. It’s well worth a listen, many thanks for hard R laughter.
There aren’t handy photos of Cobb playing with kittens as a 4 year old? Maybe he was already murdering kittens and puppies at that age.
The racial grinding predicted by Wilmot Robertson will intensify until Whites wake up. This is a great article, one of many on CC, to forward to friends and family.
Anybody seen this video? Randomly chanced across it on X. It’s grim, and stupid. I dunno if I 100% believe it’s real, thought it seems to be, but if it is, the thought of a 17-year-old aspirant drill rapper shooting himself in the head on video just seems like cutting out the middle man.
