  1. Nope, it's not like Mr. James committed a crime or caused terror …..this nation is spiraling into lunacy.

  2. Where's the Justice? If it been the. FBI who got shot. Would be charged. Will get the death penalty. But not for civilians who get shot from a terrorist murderer. On a crowded Subway. Aiming at anyone and everyone.. If that not a terrorist attack then what is it?

  3. And the Jan 6th terrorist attack is still not a terrorist attack 🙄

  4. IF HE WAS WHITE HE CRAZY , CRAZY NOTHING TO SEE HERE

  5. Probably a blm piece of crap!!

  6. He was part of a growing terrorist organization on youtube called the black manosphere. This group have a deep disdain for WM and especially BW. They encourage their followers to date and sleep with white women. They believe their oppressed and complain about women especially black women all day. They talk about r*ping, murdering women and children. Very disgusting people. Hope the FBI shut these people down but he's definitely not the only one.

  7. Don't give him a break…..strange situation. They treating him like a big stupid teddy bear.

  8. This eternal black privilege hurts us all.

  9. Hes not being charged for terrorism because hes not white .

  10. Because America’s law favors criminals. Just that simple

  11. He's not white. Media is sweeping this under the rug

  12. Cuz he’s black…🙄️

  13. Whatever charge you want to him just put him forever locked up,he should not running around .His a danger man and insane.

  14. Just another black on asian crime i doubt the mayor will do anything to help nyc asian amercians

  15. Why isn't he being charged with a hate crime? From his online rants, he hated anyone that wasn't Black. Can't have a claim of insanity cause it was a calculated planned out attack.

  16. PERHAPS he took drugs ,did any members of CONGRESS recently misplace and loose a drug or firearm traveling in the vicinities please REPORT for accountability purposes thinking KINDLY with RESPECT Point of order.thankyou As ALWAYS BJC

  17. This was a RACIST HATE CRIME by the obama tribe.
    Show me a criminal or pervert and I will show you a Democrat.

  18. America is getting worse and worse. They are self-destructive

  19. "Facing a federal charge"…We could get worse for posting "rants" like this one on y/t…

  20. Because he is not Muslim that’s why he isn’t called a terrorist
    Please, All live matters not only black, All live matters

  21. Not a hate crime? Yeah right. Complexion will be his protection.

  22. Bet if he was white he would be

  23. This is how democrats really are . . .these people are mentally ill , crazy , lunatics , these people are the real cancer to this nation .

  24. That would be racist to give this man the same treatment you would anybody else

  25. One thing is for sure. He will not get MCDONALD'S for a loooooooooong time. And he will lose those manboobs

  26. I'm a black guy…and I know if the suspect was mid Eastern or ( you know) they would have labled him a terrorist.

  27. NBC… NO BLOODY CREDIBILITY
    GOD SAVE YOU+++

  28. It won't be the last time.
    Will be worse next time
    He has a point humans aren't nice
    Ironic really.

  29. This is some kind of set up. I don't know what this is but something stinks

  30. Why isn't he being charged with a racial hate crime? 🤔 oh that's because he isn't white . Only white people are charged with hate crimes.

  31. They're preparing to release him.

  32. Racist terrorist murder. Monster. And he supports Joe Biden

  33. He won't be charged with terrorism because he's black, simple, the law is too scared to put a foot wrong in this case.

  34. I have to ride Mass transit to work everyday. And while on metro-bus or train you meet least one or two people with serious mental issues. Doesn't take much to set off these people. We have find humane way address problem. But, this gentleman knew exactly what he was doing, he planned whole attack ahead of time. Therefore mental impairment can not be used as a defense.

  35. CIA aided him allowed it all knew about it this is what the intelligence agencies do create psy ops and find idiots to carry it out lets not forget Lee Harvey Oswald this is the KKK agencies to manipulate

  36. The fbi more than likely provided the guns and ammo.
