The suspect is caught now the blame game begins. |
If it bleeds, it leads.
The mass shooter who opened fire on a New York City subway was caught around 2pm.
The New York Police Department, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police, FBI, ATF and New York State Patrol are putting a "BOLO" for this suspect. The suspect was considered armed and dangerous. He is in custody and will face state and federal charges.
Also criticism towards the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority for faulty security cameras.
Mayor Eric Adams who is fighting coronavirus symptoms is being protected. Apparently this terrorist had placed a bounty on his head. He considered threatening Adams for unknown conspiracy theories.
New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell is also planning on increasing police presence in subways and areas of large gatherings in the five boroughs.
Gov. Kathy Hochul also warned that copycat shooters could happen.
On Tuesday, a Black nationalist attacked a subway during its peak time. He opened fire on riders after he dispatched a smoke grenade on the passengers. He had shot over a dozen people. Some were injured by bullet fire and others were trampled because of them fleeing the scene.
The suspect managed to escape and the MTA is facing scrutiny for not having a clear image of the attack and the suspect.
President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have said that the federal government will not rest until this terrorist is caught.
So this guy is a Black man who had a grudge against government and society's ills. Guess what the far-right is obsessing with and trying to pin the blame on.
I regret doing this. But I am using the platform of this far-right troll named Andy Ngo as a source. Do not consider his tweets as endorsements or factual.

Frank James, the person of interest in the #Brooklyn mass shooting, posted a photograph of the Dallas #BLM shooter who killed 5 cops. He also posted a prayer asking for whites to die. One of his videos is titled, "We once were kings." pic.twitter.com/s97iXfiyBH
YouTube has quickly removed the main channel for Frank James, the wanted suspect in the #Brooklyn mass shooting. He posted many videos over the years expressing black nationalist & anti-white views. His other channels are still up & should be analyzed: https://t.co/Ezv8dqsVAr pic.twitter.com/ww2kWHMSLE

The terrorist did not care about the politics or the race of the victims. All he saw was an easy target.
So the suspect is no longer a person of interest.
The suspect had rented a vehicle from U-Haul which is connected to the shooting.
Investigators stressed they weren't sure whether the suspect was responsible for the shooting, but they quickly determined that through social media, he had grudges against the country.
They believed that he had frustrations with the country's racism and viewed Adams as a threat to democracy. He displayed anti-white, anti-Black, anti-Jewish, anti-establishment and Black nationalist views. He certainly was anti-Black women.
Geezer terrorist opened fire in subways of New York City. |
The 62-year old man appears to be a survivalist.
"The nation was born in violence, it's kept alive by violence or the threat thereof and it's going to die a violent death. There's nothing going to stop that," said the suspect.
Sewell had called the social media postings disturbing and concerning.
The suspect's profiles were pulled but of course some were quick to find these profiles.
YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have suspended the account of this suspect.
The terrorist sent off smoke grenades in a crowded subway and then fired off more than three dozen rounds into the subway car. Some of the victims are critically injured but will survive.
The shooter fled in the chaos, leaving behind the gun, extended magazines, a hatchet, detonated and undetonated smoke grenades, a black garbage can, a rolling cart, gasoline and his U-Haul key inside a van.
The suspect is facing a 50 bid, life or possible death card due to him being charged in a federal case.
The state charges are already a life bid. If the suspect is convicted, he will head to federal time out.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
