Knew right from wrong
Where could James have gotten his racist ideas from? While notions such as white replacement by minorities are denounced as dangerous racist conspiracy theories, the inverse, conspiracy theories that claim white people are going to launch a black genocide are mainstream.

James, despite possible mental issues, knew perfectly right from wrong and action and consequence. In one video, he said that "I wanted to kill people" but "I don’t want to go to f–king prison."<ref>Nicole Gelinas, [https://nypost.com/2022/04/17/the-nyc-subway-shooter-bears-responsibility-for-his-crimes/ The NYC subway shooter, despite disordered thoughts, bears responsibility for his crimes], ''NYPost'',
April 17, 2022.
<blockquote>Anyone who commits a mass attack has mental problems. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, probably did have post-traumatic stress disorder, and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev probably was manipulated by his mastermind brother. The 9/11 hijackers also (apparently!) had disordered thoughts.
Nobody ever says that he needed housing services.
Like these other attackers, James knows right from wrong and action and consequence. In one video, he said that “I wanted to kill people” but “I don’t want to go to f–king prison.”
Should the FBI have zeroed in on the videos James posted just before his attack, when he used more menacing language, saying, for example, that “it’s time”?
Sure, but that’s law enforcement, not social services. Plus, James made no direct threats — more evidence of careful planning.
It may be a good idea for social-services agencies to interact more with people like James. But there are a lot of such people: people on the border of society, with plenty of time to cultivate loony ideas.
Is New York City going to hunt each of these people down and provide him with an apartment and daily intensive counseling so that he doesn’t make a cross-country trip here to attack us?</blockquote></ref>
