A white US army veteran killed a man in New York after travelling there to specifically to kill black people, according to police.
A day after police say a white man admitted to fatally stabbing a black man in New City and intending to kill many more, authorities charged him Thursday with murder as a hate crime, even as prosecutors were also urged to pursue federal charges.
Police say James H. Jackson, 28, of Baltimore told detectives that he travelled to New York from Maryland on a bus last week ?for the purpose of killing black men,? according to a complaint filed in New York Criminal Court.
The complaint elaborates on what the New York Police Department had said Wednesday, when they described Jackson as violently acting out on what Assistant Police Chief William Aubry described as long-standing ?feelings of hate towards male blacks.?Jackson was arrested early Wednesday after he walked into a police substation and told officers, ?I?m the person you?re looking for,? Aubry said. He was charged with killing Timothy Caughman, 66, who was stabbed Monday night
In the complaint filed Thursday, police are quoted as saying that Jackson admitted to targeting Caughman specifically because he was black. Police said Jackson selected Caughman essentially at random after finding him on the street and said that Jackson ?had stalked numerous potential victims? during his time in New York.
While police had initially not revealed what Jackson said motivated his racial animus, the complaint states that Jackson ?was angered by black men mixing with white women.?

Interesting. I know in the UK the charges for assault, attempted murder etc carry a heavier penalty if they're seen as a Hate Crime.
They only the T word when WHITE lives are impacted.

!! Yh i'm reading that 'hate crime' is an enhancement the to the original charge if a specific race, religion or marglinized group was the sole target, crimes like murder or assault, so it adds more severity to the punishment.
It's just weird how some words are reserved for specific groups
Of course. He had so much disdain for Black men but went after an elderly guy. Coward ass cracker.
