The man accused of the brutal hate crime slayings of two people at the Hollywood Transit Center on Friday afternoon is a known local white supremacist.
Jeremy Christian, 35, was booked early Saturday morning on two aggravated murder charges, an attempted murder charge, two intimidation (hate crime) charges, and a felon in possession of a restricted weapon charge.
The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reported that the man "was on the MAX train yelling various remarks that would be best characterized as hate speech toward a variety of ethnicities and religions. At least two of the victims attempted to intervene with the suspect and calm him down.
The suspect attacked the men, stabbing three, before leaving the train."
Witnesses told the police that he was harassing two women who appear to be Muslim. One was described as wearing a hijab. One of the men he stabbed died at the scene, one was pronounced dead at a hospital, and one is expected to survive.
Christian is a known right wing extremist and white supremacist. On April 29, Christian showed up to the right-wing "March for Free Speech" on 82nd Avenue in Montavilla with a baseball bat in an attempt to assault left-wing protesters. The bat was quickly confiscated by Portland police officers. He ranted how he was a nihilist. He'd soon yelled racial slurs ("fuck all you n*****s") and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day. He yelled "Hail Vinland" throughout the day.

Put on your big boy pants, be a man and defend women that are being attacked.
Even if you don’t want to hear it, white supremacist groups are proliferating in the pacific northwest.
The driving factor for this is that eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana are being overrun by drug cartel enforcers, MS-13 gangbangers, and illegals who can run amok with impunity.
These illegals have absolutely NO fear of law enforcement. They know that they are in a “hands off” sanctuary state.
Drive by shootings in farming towns of less than 1500 population are becoming common place. The sheriffs are local PD are not equipped to handle this. The states say too bad, so sad, embrace your new drug lords.
With that being said, all of this is fueling a fire that the states or feds won’t be able to put out.
This is fast reaching the breaking point.
Prolific writer and absolute nutjob. Voted for Bernie ‘only’ but thanks Trump for stopping Hillary. I feel like posting that State Farm guy with the fishing pole ‘ooooohhhhhhh you almost had it!’ to #portlandstabbing.
“The driving factor for this is that eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana are being overrun by drug cartel enforcers, MS-13 gangbangers, and illegals who can run amok with impunity.”
It’s Economics.
If there were no market for drugs in those areas there would be no drug operating in the area.
However, the local population consumes the drugs.
It is a consumer driven market.
We must apply the rules laid down by Liberals when jihadis kill innocent people — no broad brush painting allowed — and the worse possible thing is whiteophobia.
2002 conviction under plea agreement for robbery and kidnapping. He was out as early as 2010 where he could threaten the public safety once more.
Eight years for kidnapping seems a little light. Thank the courts and prosecutors for keeping the prisons empty and letting these scumbags loose to do more harm to law abiding citizens.
Kook.
My question as well. . . . The women are sitting on the MAX minding their own business. You don't see women wearing hijabs anywhere? That fact means they oughta be attacked verbally by some shitheel little punk ass killer? Wrong.
It must not have been Aggravated Kidnapping.
But that’s a price a plea deals.
It might have been a somewhat weak case and the prosecution did not want to go to trial. Or, the DA did not have the resources to go to trial.
This time he won’t walk out of prison and there is a good chance he has a very unlikely encounter with a mop bucket, walk in freezer, large oven or shank.
He’s a terrorist.
You want to be charged with Pre-Crime? No thanks.
Not a chance.
“No, we don’t go around harassing Muslims. If you want to defend that, don’t complain when the LGBT crowd shows up at your church and shouts obscenities at the preacher.”
It is okay for Good to deplore Evil; it is not okay for Evil to deplore Good.
Evil always attacks Good; that is its nature. That does not mean that we are to accept that Evil is on the same moral plane as Good, or that Evil has a right to attack Good.
So called “moderate muslims” are the sea in which the terrorists swim. We cannot rid ourselves of terrorists without draining the sea.
“That fact means they oughta be attacked verbally by some shitheel little punk ass killer? Wrong.”
So what should have happened? Are you saying that the sheepdogs provoked the nutbar into using his knife by confronting him?
Please note that these are questions and not accusations.
This guy is every bit as evil as the jihadists he hates. He deserves the same fate.
Rehabilitated.
I didn’t know Bernie supporters were white supremacists. Sounds like a twofer for Hilary. She can demonize white supremacists (aka Trump supporters) and Bernie supporters in one crime.
Yep, just saw a segment on NBC news...”White, Christian,.racist “ all feature prominently in the report. Followed by a report on progress in the Manchester bombing investigation. The word “Islamic” was not used once.
