Brooklyn subway shooting: Person of interest Frank James posted racist rants to YouTube for years
Violence In America,Brooklyn Subway Shooting
Frank James, the man the NYPD identified as a person of interest in connection with the Brooklyn subway attack Tuesday morning, posted a string of antagonistic video rants to a YouTube channel for years.
Using titles like "DOMESTICATED AVERAGES" and "SENSIBLE VIOLENCE," James posted hour-long, profanity-laced rants about race, politics and current events. The banner image showed an alarm clock reading "Too Late."
"When you talk to folks [about] what happens to you in prison, it is what it is," he said in the "DOMESTICATED" video. "Thatβs why Iβm never going to prisonβ¦ Iβm not connected, I donβt have nobody, [and] nobody has my m---------ing back."

If he did end up in prison, he predicted, that would be "a wrap."
When police announced James as a person of interest in the subway attack, they shared a still image that appears to have been taken from a video he posted three weeks ago entitled, "STOP ONE COMPLETE."
