    NYPD: MIDTOWN STABBING SUSPECT CAME FROM MARYLAND TO KILL BLACK MEN IN NYC

    MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) --
    Police said the man who surrendered Tuesday in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man in Midtown Manhattan traveled to New York City with the intent to attack and kill black men.

    Authorities said 28-year-old James Harris Jackson, who is from Maryland, walked into the NYPD substation in Times Square and announced he was wanted in the stabbing of a 66-year-old man that happened 24 hours earlier.

    "You need to arrest me," he reportedly told officers inside the substation. "I've got the knife in my coat."

    Investigators said two knives were found in his possession -- and the murder weapon is believed to be this 26-inch mini sword:

    Detectives believe Jackson has a hatred of black people -- specifically black men. He allegedly wrote a manifesto about attacking African American men on the laptop computer he brought with him to New York City.

    Ironic that's he from Baltimore of all places. To paraphrase from The Wire, he's a white man from a city that's not.

    Greater Baltimore has some of the wealthiest and whitest communities in the country.

    I'd stereotype him as Christian.

    There is something insane about surrendering to police out of the blue for premeditated murder. A sane person would have fled to Mexico.

    There must be more to this story. He could've been something.

    I think on the insane scale.... murder ever-so slightly outranks confessing to murder. I mean, it's close!...

    Well....he was alone and he is crazy. I'm not sure why you think that would somehow mean he's not also a murderer and a terrorist.

    We shouldn't give him the infamy he desires. Lock him up in prison. He'll get his karma.

    RIP to the victim. That's what the story and headline should be. "Timothy Caughman killed in hate crime by crazy guy" and it should be more about the victim's life than the crazy dude's motives.

    Not sure about that one. Baltimore County has a few wealthy areas, but Maryland's designation as "the richest state" is overwhelmingly due to Montgomery County in the DC suburbs (Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac, etc.)

    Sure, DC and Baltimore are close - but economically, they're completely separate.

    Ah I see where in the Bible he got his killing ambitions from.

    Some deep **** there.

    Yea during the London attack, British media spent more time focusing on the victims and their family than the actual attacker. I wish our media would take note and properly focus their headlines on the real victims in this tragedy.

    That's the way it should be. These terrorists don't care about their personal life. Rather, they want their message heard. Don't give them that platform, similar to how sportscasts shy away from showing streakers. The ones that should get the spotlight are the victims. Leave the profile and motives to the investigators.

    how long before Kellyanne refers to the Times Square Massacre

    Man, I would have paid money to have him say "practice for a Bowling Green Massacre".
