Racist Maryland man who fatally stabbed black New Yorker admits his intent to kill African-American men
The 28-year-old man busted for fatally stabbing a black stranger in Midtown on Tuesday has told cops he came the city from Baltimore to kill African-Americans, sources said.
James Harris Jackson, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and is a member of a documented hate group from Maryland, surrendered to cops just after midnight Tuesday, sources said.
“You need to arrest me. I have the knife in my coat,” Jackson told police officers after marching into the Times Square substation, sources said. “I’m the person you’re looking for.”
He later told police he was motivated by rage against black men who get romantically involved with white women, sources said.

“It is believed he was specifically intending to target male blacks. It’s been well over 10 years that he has been harboring his hate towards blacks,” said NYPD Assistant Chief William Aubrey, head of Manhattan detectives.
“The reason why he chose New York because it is the media capital of the world and he wanted to make a statement.”
Video surveillance “proves that the victim was attacked because he was black,” he said.

When Jackson walked into the NYPD’s Times Square substation and announced he was their suspect, cops recognized him from pictures put out by the NYPD. Officers searched Jackson and found a knife on him and the 26-inch black sword used in the murder of Timothy Caughman, 66, of Manhattan.
Jackson randomly picked Caughman, as the older man was going through a waste bins looking for recyclables, Aubrey said.
He allegedly stabbed Caughman multiple times in the chest and back following an argument on the southeast corner of W. 36th St. and Ninth Ave. around 11:25 p.m. Monday, cops said.

“What are you doing?” Caughman was overheard saying to his attacker, who was seen stabbing him nearby on W. 39th St. and Ninth Ave.
After the attack, Caughman staggered nearly two blocks to the Midtown South Precinct stationhouse on W. 35th St., bleeding from his wounds.
Medics rushed him to Bellevue Hospital, but he could not be saved, officials said.

“It’s extremely distressing,” Police Commissioner James O’Neill said.
On Tuesday night, cops released surveillance video of the attacker, shown bolting from the stabbing dressed in a sharp overcoat.
The suspect was being held at the stationhouse, sources said. Authorities were expected to announce his arrest Wednesday afternoon.

Caughman lived in transitional housing on W. 36th St. that serves people with HIV/AIDS. Praxis Housing Initiatives holds a contract with the city. He has 11 prior arrests, including for marijuana, assault, resisting arrest and menacing.
On his Twitter page, Caughman, nicknamed “Hard Rock,” describes himself as a collector of autographs, bottles and cans. He is depicted in selfies with the performer Beyoncé and other celebrities, and he was an avid gossip follower. He also posted a photo of a playbill from “The Glass Menagerie” signed by actor Joe Mantello.
Jackson arrived in New York on St. Patrick’s Day on a BoltBus and “proceeded to wander through the city,” Aubrey said. He stayed at a hotel in Midtown.
A video and a photograph the NYPD released show Jackson trotting down the street holding his jacket closed and carrying something in his hand. He was dressed in dark clothes.
In December 2014, Ismaaiyl Brinsley traveled to Brooklyn from Baltimore and assassinated Police Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, who were in the car near Myrtle and Tompkins Aves. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brinsley had made anti-police statements on social media prior to the murders.
Brinsley fled police to the platform of a nearby subway station and shot himself to death.

Another dickless racist.
What a psycho. Feed him to the wolves, he's never gonna reform.
The 28-year-old man busted for fatally stabbing a black stranger in Midtown on Tuesday has told cops he came the city from Baltimore to kill African-Americans, sources said.
Makes perfect sense-- he had to travel to new York due to the fact that there are no African-Americans in Baltimore.

But in his warped mind, traveling to NY to commit murder was because of this.
“The reason why he chose New York because it is the media capital of the world and he wanted to make a statement.”
And his reasoning was a bizarre. Well not bizarre for a white power nut.
''He later told police he was motivated by rage against black men who get romantically involved with white women, sources said.''
I don't get it. I am serious. I really don't get racial hate. I don't understand racism. I see it. I see people acting on it. I see the hate. But as much as I try I don't know why? I know sometimes it comes from their parents or from bad experiences with people from another race, but why should you follow your parents and why does a bad experience with someone from a person another race mean hating that whole race? Whites who hate blacks. Blacks who hate whites. Asians who hate blacks. Whites who hate Native Americans and on and on and on. It's all such a waste of time and energy. It gets in the way of so many good things that good be done.
I suppose that there are a multitude of reasons...None of them acceptable, Randy.
I know for being 60 it sounds a bit naive. But it still blows my mind.
