Cobb joined the Marine Corps and received basic training in South Carolina from June to October of last year, according to a criminal complaint. He was stationed at the Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Centre in Twentynine Palms, California, in February and was released on or about May 10, according to the complaint.
Cobb identified himself as Black in the online posts under the account “1dayUsuffer,” according to an FBI special agent’s affidavit included in the case.
He discussed the problems of young males in America, writing that they “have so many obstacles stacked against us that we cannot excel no matter how hard we try.” “Especially those like myself who are BLACK and come from poverty,” the FBI agent stated in the affidavit, claiming that he intended to incite violence.
Cobb confirmed to agents at the Marine installation in California that the accounts on social media were his and that he still had homicidal thoughts, according to the FBI affidavit.
Cobb claimed that he fantasized about hitting a gym or a grocery shop frequented by “rich-a– white people” and that wealthier people “don’t know what it’s like to like be in a bad spot,” according to the affidavit. He allegedly stated, “So my thing was to like bring the pain to them.”
No attacks were ever carried out. He is charged with one count of communicating a threat in interstate and foreign commerce, which carries a possible five-year jail sentence and a $250,000 fine, according to the prosecutor’s office.
The Marine Corps did not respond to an emailed request for comment Monday evening on the circumstances of the discharge, and court filings do not explain why.
Cobb waived a preliminary hearing on Monday and was ordered jailed until Friday’s bail hearing, according to federal court documents.
