Racist sword killer says he'd mulled racial attack for years
Updated 4:27 pm, Monday, March 27, 2017




NEW YORK (AP) — A white racist accused of fatally stabbing a 66-year-old stranger on a Manhattan street because he was black says he'd intended it as "a practice run" in a mission to deter interracial relationships.

James Harris Jackson, 28, spoke with a reporter for the Daily News (http://nydn.us/2nXQFgo) at New York City's Rikers Island jail complex.

He said he envisioned a white woman thinking: "Well, if that guy feels so strongly about it, maybe I shouldn't do it."


The victim, Timothy Caughman, who was remembered as a gentleman and a good neighbor, was alone and collecting bottles for recycling last week when he was attacked from behind with a sword. He staggered, bleeding, into a police station and later died at a hospital.

1. How does one even respond to such evil?

[Archae]

2. You don't.

Lock him up with the general population at the jail, let him face the actual consequences for his stupidity.

[Warpy]

4. I disagree, he'll fit right in with the skinhead gangs in prison

The only way this clown should be around other people is heavily medicated.

[cstanleytech]

9. Both are the wrong approaches.

The real answer is you first find out if he is nuts, if he is then he is placed into a mental facility for the rest of his life or until he is he cured if he isnt nuts then you place him in a prison for the rest of his life without parole in near solitary conditions both for his safety and for other prisoners safety.

[Warpy]

11. Well, the problem is that if he's nuts by the legal definition, which is unlikely,

he'll be shipped off to a facility for the criminally insane. If he agrees to medication and stabilizes, he would be let out at some point. See John Hinckley. It took 30 years, but he's out.

"Near solitary conditions" is inhumane, even for murderous scumbags who think they hate people they've never met.

[cstanleytech]

12. No, solitary condititions are cruel these would only be near ones. He would still be allowed to have

extremely supervised interaction with other inmates but it wouldnt be enough for him to join any inprison gang nor would he be free enough to murder or assault anyone else in prison either in an effort to make an inprison name or earn a rep.

[heaven05]

13. fry him

then throw what's left in the garbage.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. That means he can't claim insanity, and makes it premeditated.

For a "practice run" he sure didn't plan it well.

After the attack, Jackson, who’s 28, went to the bathroom of a nearby restaurant and washed off the blood from the killing, authorities said.

Investigators said they believed Jackson was considering other attacks but surrendered after noticing his photo in media reports.

[cstanleytech]

10. OH he can probably try to still claim it but will the judge believe it? Depends on what the report

the doctors issue say.

[ck4829]

23. You got to remember though... He's not Muslim, only they're immune to mental illness

Apparently.

5. The face of today's GOP.

As sad as it is atrocious.

[Sunlei]

20. someone added this to killers favorite website, "The World's Most Goal-Oriented Republican website"

29. Talk about truth in advertising.

If only every GOP-related outfit were subject to the same disclaimers.

A man who is charged with killing his pregnant wife with a sword in York County in late January told investigators he had to destroy her to save the world, according to a York Dispatch report.

John D. Ziegler III's statements to police were revealed in testimony taken during his preliminary hearing Friday morning, the report said.

Ziegler, 31, told police that 25-year-old Diana Ziegler was the "queen bee" of a race of hybrid humans that was taking over the world, which is why he killed her at their Jackson Township home on Jan. 27, according to the report. He told police he thought he did the right thing by killing her, Northern York County Regional Police Detective Mark Baker testified.

John Ziegler called 911 just after 4 p.m. to announce that he had killed Diana, who was six months pregnant with the couple's second child, a daughter they had planned to name Charlotte.



Ziegler told a 911 dispatcher that he was waiting with his 2-year-old son for police to arrive to the scene in the 100 block of Ledge Drive. The child was not injured during the incident and released into the custody of York County Children, Youth and Families, according to police. Zeigler surrendered without incident to the first officer to arrive at the scene, police said.

Responding officers found Diana dead on the back deck of the couple's home in the 100 block of Ledge Drive, police said. She had suffered multiple blows to the head and neck from a scimitar-style sword, according to police. Investigators said they found blood and skull fragments on the deck.

District Judge Thomas Reilly ruled Ziegler will stand trial. His formal arraignment is set for April 21.

Ziegler is charged with homicide and homicide of an unborn child. He remains in York County Prison without bail.

A senior deputy prosecutor said a decision on whether the county would seek the death penalty would be made by Ziegler's arraignment.

Baker said during Friday's hearing that he interviewed John Ziegler for about an hour. He described the suspect as anxious and upset, the report said.

"He said multiple times that Diana didn't deserve it," Baker said.

He also said he had felt "off" for several months, Baker added.

Ziegler also said he believed he could change the weather by changing his emotions, Baker testified.

"His interview with me was really all over the place," Baker said, adding that Ziegler remembered what he had done and answered his questions coherently.

"He thought it was a big conspiracy," Baker testified. "He said he thought everything would change with the election of Donald Trump."

27. If you think I was implying YOU were the Alex Jones listener, no...

...I was referring to the crazy fucker you posted about who apparently killed his girlfriend and her unborn because he thought they were aliens.

That sounds like something somebody might do after listening to Alex Jones.

And while I have heard more than enough of Alex Jones, I don't consider myself to be one of his "listeners."

[AllaN01Bear]

7. sad @#$%&*

[Lunabell]

8. Wow.

My head and heart just can't wrap around this shit.

[heaven05]

14. face of trump supporters

today. Arrogant, hateful...thinks they are the superior race and wants to kill as many people as possible not white KKKhristian and male/female. Will not be able to stop interracial dating or marriage unless bannon gets the republiKKKans to pass a law segregating the races, again. I hope he gets the shiv in prison, right up the keister....and he lays there and screams his life and blood away.

[ck4829]

25. They have certainly been emboldened.

[Blue_Tires]

16. kick

[keithbvadu2]

18. Yet the coward killed an old man in a surprise attack.

"would rather have killed "a young thug" or "a successful older black man with blondes"

[ck4829]

24. Kind of like Dylann Roof, shooting church goers in the back

And yet they call themselves "warriors" for their (my) race.

[Sunlei]

19. What a waste of air, Keep him locked away forever.

The exclusive interview by NYP was well written, like a recipe for self radicalization. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/james-jackson-twisted-regrets-killing-timothy-caughman-article-1.3009736

28. "Jews, Blacks and lesbians"

Guess he's ok with gay men and child molesters.

[Ilsa]

21. He figured now is the time to act and get away with it.

He's got the prez and AG on his side.

[marne23]

22. 0. Racist sword killer says he'd mulled racial attack for years

People have no conscience. In what country do we live?
How does a 28 year old boy think that?

[IronLionZion]

26. White male terrorists are becoming radicalized online

and are a danger to society. Meanwhile Trump has taken hate groups off the watch list and reallocated federal law enforcement towards making America great again (immigrants).

I've walked around NYC and Baltimore with a white girlfriend and experienced very few racist comments. My Mom worries I could get stabbed to death.

I can envision some white liberal women thinking: "Well, if that guy feels so strongly about it, maybe I should defiantly resist bigotry and just do it."

I know several Muslim women who started wearing the headscarf to defiantly resist bigotry. I work with a few who are not even religious and are married to white guys.
