White Supremacist Sentenced To Life For Murdering Black Man To Provoke Race War

An Army veteran from Baltimore who pleaded guilty to terror charges for murdering a black man in a racially motivated attack nearly two years ago was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole – the maximum sentence allowed.

James Jackson, 30, fatally stabbed Timothy Caughman, 66, in the back with a sword on March 20, 2017 near Times Square.

Jackson told police he traveled to the city to pull off a “political terrorist attack” and “inspire white men to kill black men, to scare black men, and to provoke a race war,” according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

Caughman’s family and friends say they find little comfort knowing the man who killed him two years ago will never be a free man.

“It’s just, and it ain’t justice,” said Caughman’s friend Carl Nimmons. “He got life in prison. But Timothy is gone, and we’ll never see him again.

Jackson pleaded guilty to all charges against him, including murder in the first degree in furtherance of an act of terrorism and murder in the second degree as a hate crime.

The conviction represents the first time a white supremacist has been convicted on terror charges in New York State, Vance said. Vance said Jackson wrote a manifesto emblazoned with a swastika and a Crusader’s cross, which outlined his hope for the extermination of “Negro races.” They shared passages from his manifesto, never heard before, which read “the racial world war starts today” and “Negroes are obviously first on the list for extermination.”

What I will never understand is the logic in White Supremacist thoughts about this whole race war thing, despite whining on the flip side that White people are the real victims and are being targeted, when they're the main ones targeting other races.  With all of that said our thoughts and prayers definitely goes out to Caughman close friends and family.
