James Harris Jackson, 28, is a veteran of the Army and has written a manifesto declaring his racist views, according to sources.
The dapper suspect turned himself into police at an NYPD substation in Times Square shortly after midnight Wednesday and told them he did so to avoid killing again.
Just before surrendering, Jackson told cops he saw a black and white couple that set him off.
You need to arrest me. I have the knife in my pocket, Jackson said, according to sources.
Jackson allegedly plunged a knife into Timothy Caughmans chest and back several times near the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 36th Street around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Caughman is black.

Personalities in the mass media used to have a sense that some small but irreducible percentage of their listening/viewing/reading audience was unbalanced. As such, they'd self-censor their output a little bit to avoid giving the yahoos the wrong idea. Those days are long gone, and folks like Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh and the MRA bunch revel in the mayhem generated by their demented rantings.

However, there is nothing human about killing anyone because of the hatred that lurks inside of their own heads!!!
Peace be with you brother Timothy Caughman
