This appears to be the video that the NYPD pulled a screenshot from for their person of interest posting about Frank James in the #NYCsubway shooting.

James posted this on March 20 entitled "STOP ONE COMPLETE" and says he's "on my way to Philadelphia."
James says in the video he is on "the first leg of my trip."

"As I leave the state of Wisconsin and about to be back in the state of Illinois, all I can say is 'good riddance.' And I will never be back again alive to that motherfucker."

In another clip from the same video, he gives a very lengthy and mostly nonsensical rant I won't repost here, but he ends by saying he's in Fort Wayne Indiana, on his way to Philadelphia to "drop my shit off at my storage unit" before going to a hotel in New Jersey.

March 20.
On March 21, one day after the video NYPD screenshotted for their person of interest lookout, Frank James rambled for a 30 minute video, but it ends with saying he's still in Fort Wayne and going to Caledonia, Indiana.

"This may be my last video, let's hope not."
On March 22, Frank James posted a video entitled "I am here."

It is mostly a 24-minute long ramble, but he seems to share a vision of "doomsday" and "World War III."
Frank James March 22 says he's focused on "getting to my final destination safely and just moving on with my life" "if I'm not caught up in doomsday, which I just might be."

"Any day and every day from here on out, as we can see, could be f*ing doomsday."
I'm not hoping to repost enormous amounts of this guy's rambling, but he does lay out a timeline of a lengthy journey.

At the end of a long March 23 rant video, Frank James says he's in Harrisburg.

"Now that I bought myself some time, I can chill out and not rush."
In a 36 minute vulgar and incoherent April 2 rant, NYPD's person of interest in the subway shooting Frank James compares serial killers Ted Bundy and Dennis Lynn Rader with accused George O. Ramsey III, a substance abuse counselor accused of sexually assaulting patients.
In an hour+ video posted April 11 (no more than 36 hours before the attack he is a person of interest in) Frank James says he has "wanted to kill people, wanted to watch them die" but that he was deterred by the possibility of going to prison.
In his final YouTube video on April 11, Frank James says he is "scared to death" of going to prison, and talks about the TV show "Scared Straight."

This is amidst an hour+ long rant, much of which is quite incoherent.
Thread apparently broke here. Cont'd:
The New York Post is reporting that NYC shooting suspect Frank Hanes has been apprehended.

CW: Racism, language

VIDEO THREAD: White Nationalist group Patriot Front marched into Washington DC to hand out flyers and rally alongside the annual March for Life, their third time doing so in four years.

Thomas Rousseau, the group's founder, was among a few out of the approximately hundred who went unmasked.

He reiterated his group's belief to press that only people with "European" heritage qualify as American.
2) A man using a puppet to perform interviews criticized Patriot Front by calling them "law enforcement agents."

"If it's such a good cause, take off the mask!" he said to Rousseau through the puppet. "Take your mask off!"
3) Independent journalist @RichieMcGinniss asked Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau how he feels about Trump's FBI director nominee @Kash_Patel.

Rousseau said "I don't think Indians should be in charge of any departments of the United States, because he's a foreigner."

Pressed on why Patel is a "foreigner" despite being born here, Rousseau reiterated his platform (white nationalism) that only people with European ancestry qualify as American, regardless of birth or citizenship.

VIDEO THREAD: Activists dressed as contractors took down a banner outside the National Archives in Washington DC this morning and replaced it with their own demanding Biden publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) into the Constitution before leaving office.

The activists brought two additional banners which they had also planned to put up in the place of existing ones, but police arrived and confiscated them before the group could get those two up.
2) Kamala Lopez, founder and president of Equal Means Equal, explained that the ERA has already been ratified by 38 states, so she insists that Biden can be a "hero" by publishing it into the Constitution to be enforced.

Without doing this, she calls Biden a "zero."
3) Responding officers told the activists to sit down on the sidewalk and disputed whether their truck had been legally parked.

Additional activists arrived dressed as women from the science-fiction Dune series to advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment.

VIDEO THREAD: Craig Sicknick, brother of Brian Sicknick who died of a stroke the day after fighting on January 6, 2021, spoke at a rally demanding Congress refuse to certify Trump's electoral victory on January 6, 2025.

"I came here today to urge Congress to do its job and block Mr Trump from taking office just a few short weeks from now," Sicknick said.

"They can do this by upholding their oath of office and acting under Article III of the 13th Amendment which clearly states that no person who was involved in trying to overthrow our government can hold any office, state or federal."
2) @JessicaDenson07, a 2017 campaign staffer for Trump who ultimately sued him, is an organizer of this weekend's rallies demanding Congress block him from retaking the White House.

"Donald Trump is an adjudicated insurrectionist disqualified and the only mechanism to remove that disability is by a 2/3 vote of both houses. That's it. We don't need new legislation," she said.

"It only takes 1/5 of both houses of congress... to raise an objection and a simple majority to sustain it!"

She says there was "mixed" reception as she and others lobbies for this idea to members of Congress.
3) "Congresspeople, keep us safe, Hallelujah!" sang protesters demanding Congress block Trump from the White House on January 6.

"Do your duty to the states, Hallelujah!"

"Insurrectionists can't be president!" they chanted. "Call your representatives!"

BIG THREAD: Today, I attended the preliminary/detention hearing for Brad Spafford, charged with possessing a short barrel rifle.

Federal prosecutors say more charges are coming and that his arrest yielded the "largest seizure of finished explosive devices in FBI history." Image

Image
2) I first reported the case December 19 following Spafford's arrest by the feds, who used a Confidential Human Source (CHS) for two years to get the warrant to arrest Spafford for the alleged Short Barrel Rifle.

3) Rachelann Cardwell, a Suffolk Detective assigned as an officer on the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, took the stand today.

She testified that the investigation into Spafford began in January 2023 when the CHS reported Spafford disfiguring his hand with a homemade explosive.

THREAD: On Tuesday, Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) officers with the Norfolk FBI and assistance from the ATF arrested Virginia man Brad Spafford for possessing an unregistered short barrel rifle (SBR).

The arrest was the result of a multi-year Confidential Human Source (CHS). Image
Image
2) A Confidential Human Source (CHS, commonly known as "informant" or colloquially as "snitch") reported in January 2023 that Spafford lost fingers on Independence Day 2021 "while working with a homemade explosive device."

He says Spafford and friends were making ammunition for "something that Spafford would not be able to do alone."

The informant reportedly saw Spafford's hands "before and after the event" which is confusingly worded; if he saw them in person, then the informant has been around the defendant for more than three years.

If he saw them pre- disfigurement some other way, like a photo, then he still has been around him for at least nearly two years.Image
3) In May 2023, the informant and Spafford went to a gun range together, each with "their own weapons."

The informant brought his own Short Barrel Rifle, but it was registered.

The now-defendant allegedly brought what the informant believed was also an SBR. Image
