Frank James: The Name You Have Already Forgotten
Who was Frank James?
No, I don’t mean the confederate soldier. Or the brother of Jesse James. I’m talking about the NYC subway “spree shooter” that tried to kill a bunch of people a few weeks ago. Do you remember him?
If you haven’t heard of him, or did but have forgotten his name, it’s not your fault. His terrorist attack was reported on – but just barely – by the mainstream media immediately after it happened. And then all but disappeared. You have to wonder: Why didn’t Frank James get his 15 minutes of fame?
And why didn’t the Department of Homeland Security jump on his bandwagon. By any and all criteria, he qualifies as a full-fledged domestic terrorist. He was a racist, a racial nationalist whose stated goal was to start a “race war.” And he announced his intentions over a period of months leading up to his attack. Here are some of his lines:
* “Kill all whiteys.”
* “I’m wantin’ to kill everything in sight.”
* “Asians are slant-eyed fucking pieces of shit.”
* “Spanish-speaking motherfuckers are crimes against fucking nature.”
And what about our social media guardians? The enlightened outposts that guard against “hate speech”? No, they did not cancel him. They did not banish him. They did not even remove a single one of his posts until 48 hours AFTER he went on his shooting spree.
