Early Person of Interest, Not Frank James, Known Previously to FBI: Source
Newsweek ^ | April 14th, 2022 | Naveed Jamali AND Tom O'Connor

A federal law enforcement source told Newsweek that early on the investigation of Tuesday morning's Brooklyn subway attack, authorities were looking at a different person of interest that was entered into the Guardian lead system.

The NYPD have apprehended a different suspect, 62-year-old Frank R. James, on Wednesday afternoon. Officials say, James called police on himself after being on the run for 30 hours.

The subway attack that injured multiple people in the New York City borough of Brooklyn Tuesday morning was initially considered an act of terrorism, an NYPD official told Newsweek shortly after the bloody incident. But the federal law enforcement source said the attack could not be classified as terrorism until a motivation is established.

At a press briefing hours after the attack, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the attack was "not being investigated as an act of terrorism at this time." Asked if she would rule that out, she said law enforcement was "not ruling out anything" as officials continued to pursue the suspect and determine his motives.

“The subway attack that injured multiple people in the New York City borough of Brooklyn Tuesday morning was initially considered an act of terrorism”

With the suspect having been described by the woke media as being a dark-skinned male, a “gentleman”, etc...Where’s your “gentleman” now?

They lie like we breathe. I wouldn’t trust my government to monitor ants on the sidewalk without constitutional mayhem and tyranny.

But parents who ask questions at school board meetings are, a priori, terrorists. Got it.

If the FBI investigated every idle vagrant muttering threats under his breath, they’d be rather busy. This fellow was just a little short of being a homeless bum, one of millions.

I always hate it when people refer to dirt bags as gentleman. I think they’re wannabes for a Cops episode. I call these criminals jerks.

How ridiculous to call a thug like that a “gentleman”.

Surprised they didn’t refer to him as an “austere religious scholar.”

Frank James shot 10 people but none fatally, or maybe even none with serious injuries. Puzzling. Was he not aiming to kill?

And yet, it’s being prosecuted as terrorism.
