NEW YORK (AP) — A white supremacist who killed a black man with a sword as part of an attack that authorities said was intended to incite a race war has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
James Jackson was sentenced on Wednesday.
He admitted to fatally stabbing 66-year-old Timothy Caughman in March 2017 after stalking a number of black men in New York City.
Jackson, who is white, told police he traveled from Baltimore to carry out the attack because New York is the media capital of the world. He said the slaying was intended to be practice for further assaults on black people.
Caughman, who was remembered as a gentleman and a good neighbor, was attacked while collecting bottles for recycling.
Welcome to post-racial America, right Chief Roberts? What a dipshit!
I’m not usually a fan of prison justice, but a big part of me wants him in general population. Not so much the shiv type of justice, but a constant reminder of his poor choice to run a sword through a black man minding his own business.
Enjoy dying in prison, racist waste of oxygen.
I’m surprised he wasn’t looking for a black Jew.
Good. Nice when people get what they deserve, especially after they hurt someone who obviously doesn’t deserve it.
