Frank James, the gunman in the Brooklyn subway shooting, and flaming racist against not just whites, but Hispanics and Asian-Americans as well apparently claimed he was fired as a machinist, because of….. racism. You know, the typical left wing excuse for everything. The fact of the matter is, he was fired because of shoddy work.
Alleged subway shooter Frank James complained his career as a machinist was derailed by discrimination — but court records show he was a shoddy worker who refused to fix his own mistakes.
James, 62, worked as a machinist at Curtiss-Wright, a massive defense contractor, for 17 months, suing the company for racial discrimination in Newark Federal Court after he was fired in March 1991 for insubordination.
His bosses at the time said James failed to fill out inspection sheets and made parts incorrectly, then blew off directives to fix the sloppy work, decades-old court papers reveal.
