I don't know if Frank James was the shooter in the subway, but if he was, he offers an interesting query challenge.
NYC's black community always had black people in it, who love to suggest a usage of violence is incorrect. The reason why is complicated, it isn't merely about right or wrong. But, one of the juxtaposes between white controlled media of nyc /the black church in the black community of NYC/black employed class in NYC is the idea of gun violence in the Black community as something of youth. The narrative is, the youth must get the violence out of them. But, Frank James is sixty something years old. Frank James was an elder teen in the 1970s. So Frank James is not a Black person who is without a decades long look at the Black community in NYC, in NYS, in the USA and with that a high potential for a very honest while negative appraisal of many things in this area.
Many will suggest mental imbalance, as in NYC that is suggested for anyone who is violent. From white media to many or most black homes in NYC, mental dysfunction or imbalance is always the reason behind any violence as if, being violent can not be from a mentally sane person, which of course is a lie.

For me the issue is the Black communities profiles. I live in NYC and unfortunately, what that means is, whenever a Black person is injured in any violence, a large section of the black community in NYC goes on a pulpit speech tour about the black communities ills, and all to often relates the ills to youth.
But in my mind, I can recall quite a few adult Black men who did similar to Frank James in my lifetime, and talking to my clan offline, they second with more examples.
The question then is, what is the way in which the Black community can aid the Black Angry, or is that one of the great dysfunctions in the Black community in the usa. Ever since the Black Loyalists at the nacent to the USA , the reality is the Black community in the usa has never created a place for the Black angry, and I think that leads to these situations. Frank James, I don't know him. But I am certain this guy was angry for a long while.

@Stefan well, I think the goals people have to their community, even though they can't do anything to a communities betterment alone, is one of the factors in miscommunication between people in any community. From the founding of the USA , the war of independence, to today the Black community has never been left alone. The Black community in the USA never had a group take it over, so to speak. The Black individual in the USA is freer in the Black community in the usa than an individual in any other.
I have asked on this website and others, a simple question to Black people. What do you want the Black community to be tomorrow? The variance between what Black people want the Black community in the USA to be tomorrow is the problem. Frank JAmes to me, reflects that truth in the black community.

Frank James is like lot of people in this country. Older, fed up, angry with ready access to firearms.
Everyone needs to be grateful that his gun jammed and he never obtained frag grenades.-
