Shooting in NYC subway.

Also, do you think it might make sense for a bit more of a description than “larger man, green vest”… White? Black? Hispanic? Asian? Indeterminate? Old? Young? Middle aged? Bears? Clean shaven? Scruff?

I think either they didn’t get a good look because of the gas mask or they know he’s black or Hispanic and don’t want to say.

If they knew he was white, we’d know.

You seem to be coming increasingly conservative in your old age... has anyone else mentioned this?

It's still up in the air whether he'll vote Trump in 2024, should he run.

And I bet we’ll collectively forget his name before we forget Rittenhouse’s name…

Mayor of New York just referred to him as a "dark-skinned male."

Not only is he a biologist, he's not color blind.

Look away! Look away!!!

So I’m on the go and haven’t seen the details, but did the shooter do this IN a train car? Or only on the platform when it stopped?

If the former, this is one of a billion things
lone wolves can do in the world, unfortunately.

It's astonishing how little damage motivated idiots are actually capable of doing.

Investigators believe they know who he is, having identified the suspect after finding a credit card at the scene that was also used to rent the U-Haul cargo van, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

A federal law enforcement source told Newsweek the suspect was the previously known to the FBI, having been entered into the Guardian Lead system in New Mexico.

The system is the FBI's way of coordinating information from other law enforcement partners about potential terrorism-related threats and suspicious activity reports.

He was cleared after multiple interviews in 2019.

I’ve heard there is a definite connection to Wisconsin? That he was involved in the riots that led to the Rittenhouse affair.

[LuFins Dad]

They got him.

This from CNN's story...

Many of the videos that James uploaded included references to violence, including at a set group of people he believed had maligned him, in addition to broad societal and racial groups that he appeared to hate.

They chose not to specify the broad societal and racial targets of this hatred, so I guess they don't fit political narratives. Well, in fairness, there is no politically useful narrative that starts with a POC hating anybody for any reason.
