text: A white supremacist with a split tongue and 'Satan' tattooed on his face has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing a black man to death. David Adam Pate from Lancaster, North Carolina, told his mother he enjoyed knifing 33-year-old Ricky James 39 times after luring him into some woods with wine in November 2013. The 25-year-old serial criminal, who pleaded guilty to the murder on Thursday, told police he just wanted to 'cut his dad gum head off,' and that he cut him with a butcher's knife, 'just like the one Michael Myers used in (the movie) Halloween.' During an interview after his arrest, he even blamed the victim for the murder, saying: 'It was his fault. Why would anyone go drinking and go into the woods with someone who looks like me? ' Scroll down for video . Jailed: David Adam Pate, 25, (mugshot from 2013 left and in court on Thursday right) from Lancaster, North Carolina told his mother he enjoyed knifing 33-year-old Ricky James 39 times after luring him into some woods with wine in November 2013. He was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for the slaying . During the sentencing hearing, James's two brothers described him as the 'devil', admitting that they wanted him to suffer in prison. One of them, who spoke at his sentencing, said a man like that 'doesn't deserve to live on this earth' before storming out of the court screaming in distress. According to The Charlotte Observer, police found at least 20 knives, both store bought and homemade, and more than 20 masks in Pate's home after he was arrested, when children who were playing in the woodland found the victim's decomposing body. He was already in jail at the time, having been arrested for disorderly conduct two weeks before. As he was booked into custody, officers took a frightening mugshot of Pate. He stuck out his split tongue and revealed a 974 tattoo on his neck - the sign of the white power gang, Gangster Disciples. Emotionless: Prosecutors said Pate deserved to die in prison. He has never offered the James family an apology for the 'senseless and remorseless' act . Confession: The 25-year-old told police during a taped interview used a butcher's knife, 'just like the one Michael Myers used in (the movie) Halloween' to kill James (right) During a police interview, he described how he covered James's remains up because he wanted to kill someone in the same place. He said he tied James with a rope from neck to ankles so that he could drag the body away after the stabbing site, but was too drunk and tired to continue to try and drag James's body to a nearby creek. Prosecutors added they they thought Pate deserved to die behind bars. Solicitor Randy Newman told the court: 'This is an evil man standing before you. If anyone deserves life in prison, it's David Pate.' Judge Dan Hall sentenced Pate to life in prison with no chance for parole, calling the murder a 'senseless and remorseless' act. Pate has never spoken to the family or offered an apology. Horrifying: After he was arrested Pate even blamed the victim for the murder, saying: 'It was his fault. Why would anyone go drinking and go into the woods with someone who looks like me.'
