John Thomas Booker; American jihadist
Fox News is reporting that John Thomas Booker, a 19-year-old in St Louis, Missouri, was the jihadist that the military and the FBI were looking for the other day. They still call him the “GI jihadist” even though he didn’t even make it out of the recruiting station, let alone do even a right-face in formation or any other military training.
“Getting ready to be killed in jihad is a HUGE adrenaline rush! I am so nervous,” read a March 19 post on the Facebook page authorities believe belonged to the subject of the alert. “NOT because I’m scared to die but I am EAGER to meet my lord.”
John Thomas Booker, 19, of Topeka, Kan. enlisted in the Army in February and
was due to report for basic training on April 7. But the FBI interviewed him in March and alerted the Army, which formally discharged him last week. He is now in an undisclosed mental health facility, sources told FoxNews.com.
This comes on the heels of the arrest a few days ago of Nicholas Teausant who was another jihadist who had enlisted, but never made it to basic training, either.
Booker, who attended Topeka West High School, where he was a member of the Junior ROTC program before graduating in 2012, at some point began calling himself Muhammad Abdullah Hassan. According to his now-defunct Facebook profile, Hassan “Studied Protection, Security and Investigation at Flint Hills Job Corps” and lives in Topeka.
On March 9, a month after he enlisted at the Kansas City recruiting station, Booker posted a series of photos of Usama bin Laden holding various weapons. “Allahu Akbar J Sheikh Osama bin Laden and his army..” reads a post by the photo.
On March 15, a post on the Facebook page expressed Booker’s desire to die for his beliefs.
I think we ought to help him with his goal – send him to Fort Leonard Wood and employ him as a pop-up, running, screaming target on the rifle range.
Since these guys are so vocal on social media about their intentions, maybe recruiters should start trolling prospective recruits’ accounts.

Here’s hoping the undisclosed mental health facility abuts the holding compound at Gitmo and part of his therapy is regular sessions of water therapy with a cloth sack on his head and lots of fresh water.
Aloha Snackbar, Booker, you shitbag.
I am a little confused on this one. If he never attended basic or even reported to be shipped to basic is he still considered to be in and is that why MP’s were also looking for him?
Because he signed a contract with the military…
If not a pop up target, then there’s also room for him on the “Landmine Stomping Team”
My idea for these turds. Go full Soviet Union on their asses and put them in penal battalions so they can clear minefields by marching over them.
I say make “him” a designated 100 yard boolit catcher.
Have him pull targets on the hand grenade range.
Anybody who is a Jihadist and who wants to die that much for his cause…I saw we give him all the help we can. Please, if someone at the mental health facility is reading, please, leave a length of rope in his cell with him.
Not a bad idea, OAE, he ought to be tasked with field testing the West Point Landmine Detection System!!
I noticed he/it claims to be a Job Corps Alumnus, and I’ve seen some real winners come from there. The one I remember best is when I was riding the bus to MEPS to ship off for Basic & AIT. That critter couldn’t quit bragging about his pot pipe collection and he/it was a “shitbouse lawer” to boot!
As for the wannabe jihadi, “ALLAH FUBAR!”, and don’t forget to *SQUUUUEEEEAAL!* for Bubba , Thor, and everyone else they pimp you out to, you gonna be a pretty little fishy!!
I believe that you are being insensitive to his current religious beliefs. Instead of saying “squeal like a pig”, try saying “bray like a goat”, or whatever noise goats make.
Cause nothing says allah akbar then the whole Michael Jackson single glove thing he is got going on.What a little bag of snot.
Sniper bait.
This is a local guy from Topeka, They sent out this big FBI Memo and BOLO to all NG and LEOs in Missouri and Kansas. I guess he checked himself into a mental health facility in Topeka about two days ago and the feds are waiting til he gets discharged to pounce. His physical profile says he is 62″ tall and weighs 124 lbs, tiny little puke.
Anyways, he outlined his plan to kill Army personnel like Nidal Hisan, his role model, (his words not mine) in either basic training during BRM or when he gets ready to mobilize for a deployment. He also mentioned that he had no desire to kill pvts, but “someone in power” ie vips, officers, etc.
Good plan sh!tbag…. post all your thoughts on Facebook…because no one would ever report you, right? Is this some weird cry for help? You didn’t get enough attention growing up? This twerp would most likely crap himself if he held a real, loaded weapon. Enjoy your time in the funny farm before going to hang out with bubba. Loser.
Dirka dirka, motherfucker.
A slightly different spin… is this acknowledgement that Ft. Hood was a terrorist attack, not workplace violence?
Watch as the media buries this faster than Fort Hood.
What an idiot. You don’t go around saying you’re a jihadist on Facebook. I mean, you look at what’s going on with the NSA *now*, not even figuring in the already ever-present law enforcement presence on Facebook, and you think no one will notice?
It should be easy to keep this dude locked up forever. Just ask him his name, if he gives you his Nom de Jihad he stays, if he answers with his real name he can be let out and be arrested and locked up for whatever charges the feds have on him. I can’t think of any that will stick but federal prosecutors are pretty creative nowadays. Do his Facebook followers constitute co-conspirators on the Jihad plot?
Levying war against the US on behalf of a foreign enemy of the US and it’s still not treason, is it.
Why couldn’t he use the Internet for what Al Gore invented it for, surfing for porn? How many more idiots are going to convert to Islam and become terrorists because they found their calling by spending twenty minutes on the Internet? And the haters against the military say that those that enlist are easily manipulated.
