White Supremacist Who Killed Timothy Caughman Says He Targeted Black Men To Make A Statement
James Jackson, a white supremacist, traveled 200 miles from Baltimore to New York with one mission: to kill black men. Why? To make a "statement."
The 28-year-old thug wanted maximum exposure for his crime, which is why he committed murder in the big apple.
“I’d rather not get too specific, but in general he came here to target male blacks,” Assistant Chief William Aubry, head of the Manhattan detectives squad.
Jackson started hunting for the ideal black man to stab on Monday night. When he saw Timothy Caughman, he knew he found his target.
At about 11:30 p.m. on W. 36th St. and Ninth Ave, Jackson stabbed Caughman with a knife with an 18-inch blade.
“What are you doing?" Caughman was heard saying as Jackson grabbed him. Moments later, Jackson ran to a local McDonalds to clean up.
Paramedics rushed Caughman to Bellevue Hospital, but sadly, he did not make it out alive.
Jackson's disgusting actions only get worse from here. The thug casually went to the library the next day to read about his crime. Later that evening, he turned himself into police.
“I’m the person that you’re looking for,” Jackson told cops. “You need to arrest me."
Begging for attention, Jackson did not hold back with his views when talking to cops.
“Based on certain information it appears that this subject has been harboring these types of feelings for quite some time,” Aubry said. “It’s been over 10 years that he’s been harboring these feelings toward male blacks.”
The media coverage regarding the situation has been disturbing, to say the least. Many outlets have applauded Jackson for being "well-dressed" while criticizing the victim, Caughman, for having a criminal record.
Timothy Caughman was a bottle collector who had a passion for taking photos with celebrities. His Twitter bio reads, "Can and bottle recycler, autograph collector in New York City and I would love to visit California. I'm a good businessman."
Hearts are breaking everywhere for Caughman. May he rest in peace.
