The long and disturbing rap sheet of Frank James, the black nationalist New York City subway shooter arrested on Wednesday and charged by federal prosecutors with one count of committing a terrorist act against a mass transportation system, ought to serve as a national wake-up call. The 24 hour-plus nerve-racking manhunt ended in anticlimactic fashion, with James apparently calling the NYPD to report his own location. But the Brooklyn shooting, which left 10 people with gunshot wounds and 19 others injured in the resulting fracas, stands as the bloodiest act of carnage in the history of the New York City subway system.
It also should never have happened.
James' rap sheet includes nine previous arrests in New York alone. Those Empire State arrests include such wide-ranging offenses as a criminal sex act, possession of burglary tools and theft of service. His rap sheet also includes three additional arrests in neighboring New Jersey for the equally wide-ranging offenses of trespass, larceny and disorderly conduct. Most damning, one of the Garden State arrests entailed a resultant charge for a terroristic threat. James, an avowed anti-white racist, had also frequently talked about violence and committing mass shootings on his personal YouTube page -- even doing so as recently as Monday, the day before the shooting.
There is no world in which James should have been out on the street, living a normal life. That he appears to be heading for a jail cell for the rest of his miserable life is just, but long overdue: It comes at least 10 gunshot victims and 29 total victims too late. That he was not already incarcerated is yet another data point evincing the woeful present state of the American criminal justice system.

“...out on the street, living a normal life. ...”
yes, but not just James. Hundreds, thousands of the so-called “homeless” belong in institutions for the mentally handicapped of various disorders. Many of them could be in simple group homes of 8 to 12 people. No one is addressing this societal cancer.
No, we should not lock up people for life for a few, relatively minor criminal acts which happened over decades.
“No one is addressing this societal cancer.”
Sure they are. They address it by allowing crazy people to walk free so as not to discriminate against them. They allow men to pretend to be women so their feelings won’t get hurt. Heck, they even get appointed to high positions in government. It is being addressed, but not as it should be addressed.
You better watch your back.
Speaking sanity to groupthink will get you attacked here.

The government fuels violent crime then tells we have to surrender our constitutional freedoms for security. It must be the 33% who still approve of Brandon that they’re talking to. Maybe we are that dumb.
“No, we should not lock up people for life for a few, relatively minor criminal acts which happened over decades.”
But we should respect the intent of the 2nd Amendment and stop criminalizing the concealed carry of firearms in public. That way if some random nutball starts pulling hatchets, smoke bombs, and a gun from a satchel one or more honest citizens can deal with the problem on the spot.

Frank James - a the black nationalist - wasn’t being ‘egged on’ by FBI thugs. His comments on social media - talking about killing fellow citizens - should have rung some bells. They came from him - and only him.
As far as ‘the homeless’ go - there’s an industry that’s grown up around them that feeds on toxic incentives. it’s not a question of money - it’s a total lack of common sense. Billions are spent that help the “homeless industry” - money that barely touches the people the money is allocated for.
What should be done with them then? Do you believe it’s the right thing to watch these broken people wander the streets and the only thing they ever get to help them might be a newer shopping cart to push their stuff around in?
I’m really not arguing, but continuing the status quo is only going to produce more Frank James, I am surprised we haven’t seen more of his kind.
We need to have different approaches when it comes to violent and non violent crimes. With an explosion in the number of regulations especially at the federal level, committing a federal white collar crime is not that difficult. Furthermore many of these “crimes” are not enforced equally such that the very wealthy and politically connected can avoid prosecution.
You can’t compare a murderer with someone that violated an obscure regulation that could result in similar penalties depending on how many regulatory violations you can find.
Already a dead story and long forgotten.
Ditto for the Waukesha Christmas Parade killer in Waukesha a few months ago.
Group homes where? On the grounds of an institution, or scattered throughout the city or town?
Frank James at least knew he was mentally ill, and complained of being unable to get help, whatever that meant to him.
A lot of the mentally ill homeless refuse medication, either because of a lack of insight, or because anti-psychotics have unpleasant effects. Many also are illegal drug users and won’t give that up.
How many mentally ill people would NYC need to institutionalize or jail to make its streets safer? Somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000.
Rikers Island is the largest mental health facility in the US, but the quality of treatment is terrible, and there’s no follow-up care.
Then you have the same criminals to deal with, after solving the first problem.
Last line, should be sane criminals not same
The elite liberal induced violence goes from NYC to LA!
LA’S CRIME SURGE MIGRATES TO WEALTHY, WHITER ZIP CODES OF BOLDFACE NAMES!:
LA street gangs targeting residents in wealthy areas, LAPD urges residents to be on guard!
Police said some of the gang members live outside LA County
all you say is true, but someone in authority must start somewhere, somehow. Just keeping on, keeping on is not the answer.
“ But the Brooklyn shooting, which left 10 people with gunshot wounds and 19 others injured in the resulting fracas, stands as the bloodiest act of carnage in the history of the New York City subway system”
Black Supremest Black Supremest Black Supremest Black Supremest 🤪
AMEN
IMO, This is the result of the ACLU badgering Reagan into closing mental institutions all over the USA.
THEY WALK AMONG US-—MANY are VERY DANGEROUS
