(New York Post via AP)A white Army veteran accused of killing a 66-year-old black stranger in a racial attack in New York City says he regrets killing the man because he would rather have killed a younger or more successful black victim. James Harris Jackson told the Daily News Sunday he’s “sorry” he stabbed Timothy Caughman, who was collecting bottles. Authorities say Jackson came to Manhattan from Baltimore earlier this month with the aim of killing black men and to “make a statement.” Jackson told the newspaper his goal was to force women to reconsider their interracial relationships.
