White Supremacist Charged with Murder as Terrorism for Killing Black Man with Sword
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Monday, a white Army veteran who traveled from Baltimore to New York
City to kill black men was indicted by a grand jury on the charge of
murder as terrorism. Police say 28-year-old James Harris Jackson
confessed to repeatedly plunging a sword into 66-year-old Timothy
Caughman, killing him. Police say Jackson was part of a white
supremacist hate group in Baltimore. On Monday, White House Press
Secretary Sean Spicer refused to answer questions about the case and
refused to call it a hate crime.
