The NYPD now considers Frank James a suspect in the Brooklyn Subway station shooting that injured 29 people. From The New York Post:
Frank James, 62, was initially named as a person of interest in the wake of Tuesday’s rush-hour attack on the N train in Sunset Park.The upgrade to James’ status was “based on new information that has become available to the team,” Mayor Eric Adams told WNYC radio.Adams did not disclose what the new information was or how it was obtained.James was still at large as of Wednesday morning.“We are going to continue to close the loop around him and bring him in, and continue the investigation into this horrific act against innocent New Yorkers,” Adams said on MSNBC.
But then there are the videos James posted on YouTube. He ranted against Adams, the homeless problem, and the lack of mental health help.
The New York Post has some snippets:
“Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program,” James said in one lengthy video.“I’m 63 now full of hate, full of anger, and full of bitterness.”He also criticized the mayor for not doing more to combat homelessness.“Eric Adams, Eric Adams: What are you doing, brother? What’s happening with this homeless situation,” he said while referring to the subway. “Every car I went to was loaded with homeless people. It was so bad, I couldn’t even stand. I had to keep moving from car to car.”James said in the videos that he had a diagnosed mental illness and railed against what he called the “horror show” of the city’s mental health services.“What’s going on in that place is violence,” he said about a facility where he claimed to have received care. “Not physical violence,” he explained, “but the kind of violence a child experiences in grade school … that would make him go get a gun and shooting motherf—ers.”
In another video, James claimed the war in Ukraine is proof that society hates blacks:
“These white motherf—ers, this is what they do,” he said. “Ultimately at the end of the day, they kill and commit genocide against each other. What do you think they gonna do to your black ass?”In his rambling conspiracy theory, James claimed that a race war would follow the ongoing conflict in Europe.“It’s just a matter of time before these white motherf—ers decide, ‘Hey listen. Enough is enough. These n—ers got to go,’” he said.“And what’re you going to do? You gonna fight. And guess what? You gonna die. ‘Cause unlike President [Volodymyr Zelensky] over in Ukraine, nobody has your back. The whole world is against you. And you’re against your f—ing self. So why should you be alive again is the f—ing question. Why should a n—er be alive on this planet? Besides to pick cotton or chop sugar cane or tobacco.”The only options James could find, he claimed, was to commit more violence or become a criminal.“And so the message to me is: I should have gotten a gun, and just started shooting motherf—ers,” he said.“Or I should have gotten some dope and started shooting or starting hitting bi—es in the head, robbing old ladies, you know what the f— it is.”
