James picked up a U-Haul van on Monday in Philadelphia and came to New York City with violent plans, according to a memo filed by the government.
When James arrived in Brooklyn, he was armed"with all the weapons and tools he needed to carry out the mass attack," including a Glock pistol, a container of gasoline, a torch and fireworks, prosecutors said.James wore a hardhat and a bright construction-site-style vest on Tuesday, which the government said was tantamount to a"disguise" that he shed immediately after the attack"in order to flee the subway station undetected.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Roanne L. Mann ordered a"permanent order of detention” as the case moves forward but said the defense can make a bail application down the road. "The defendant terrifyingly opened fire on passengers on a crowded subway train, interrupting their morning commute in a way the city hasn’t seen in more than 20 years," Winik told the court. "The defendant’s attack was premeditated, was carefully planned and it caused terror among the victims and our entire city."
When handcuffed & brought into court, why wasn't a maga hat put on him? DNC is wasting a great opportunity to tie trump to this terrorist attack. Democrats should take full advantage of the situation. FrankJames BrooklynSubwayAttack BidenBoom DemocracyUnderThreat Democrat
