The police this morning are now officially calling Frank James a “suspect” in the Brooklyn subway shooting. This, after calling him only a “person of interest” on Tuesday. They stated that they were searching for James to help them rent a U-haul van linked to the subway attack.

It’s not hard to understand why they might now have gotten around to calling him a suspect. On Tuesday, I wrote about James’ troubling posts and videos on social media. These accounts displayed a variety of extremist and racist views, such as James saying black people should be separated and posting about the killing of people.
Here’s one sample as James spews out racist invective as he walks through Times Square. You can hear him attacking people for being white and others for being “slant-eyed.” “You’re something less than human today,” he spews at someone.
Attention!
*WARNING* Profanity and racist tirade from the #BrooklynSubwayAttackShooter #FrankJamesTimes Square
“F— you & your white ass too, you white racist mother f—ker”

You can see how unwell he is because he’s not just venting at home on a computer, he’s venting all over people on the street. It’s hard to believe that they haven’t caught him yet if he’s in this condition. It’s a wonder he wasn’t picked up right there, for how he was screaming at people. But because it’s NYC, they now have a hands-off approach to crazy people on the street and he might not even have been given a real look for that.
In the shooting, some of the victims were Asian and the police haven’t said whether they were targeted. Perhaps. But to be fair, it sounds like he hated almost everyone who didn’t believe as he did.
Ketanji Brown was also upset by the fact that Ketanji was married to an African-American man.
Frank James, person of interest #BrooklynYouTube has several videos discussing his militant views on black nationalism, such as the shooting at subway station. Recently, he expressed dismay that Justice Ketanji Jackson was married to a white woman. https://t.co/edHUVtTvwI pic.twitter.com/hL0ysMw5VM

“This nation was born in violence, it’s kept alive by violence or the threat thereof and it’s going to die a violent death,” he said in another video, according to ABC. “There’s nothing going to stop that.”
That attack was structured like a terrorist attack but as I previously noted the police aren’t calling it that yet, despite the planning and the possible indications of a political motive. He was questioned by the FBI in 2019 and checked into his case. But this is yet another case where they seem to have failed to properly assess a “known” person.
