Suspect in Portland Hate Crime Murders is a Known White Supremacis
Portland Mercury ^ | 5/27/17 | Doug Brown

Posted on 05/27/2017 1:39:55 PM PDT by Timpanagos1

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.

I won't defend him, but I won't necessarily believe everything the Portland news says about him either. I have seen people accuse others of "hate speech" before, and I know it's a very easy accusation to make. It's possible that he got into it with these two guys, and now the survivor is saying "Well, he was saying things," which may be true... or may be just ... exaggerated a bit to justify his own participation in whatever went down. And they tried to "intervene?" What does that mean? They said, "Hey, guy, chill," or they got in his face and thought maybe they were going to rough him up a little?

I still remember how the media treated George Zimmerman. By the time it was over, people thought he'd come upon a little 12 year old boy eating Skittles, pulled his gun and shot him, yelling the N word. I just don't trust the media.

But he was just turning his life around!

Whoops, wrong narrative. Disregard.

These guys who inserted themselves into the situation probably weren't any more likely to have been "sheepdogs" than there were to have been officious intermeddlers.

This is one of them

Anyone who spent a minute reading this guy's Facebook page would know he's mentally ill, although he did seem to show a preference for Bernie Sanders.

“These guys who inserted themselves into the situation probably weren’t any more likely to have been “sheepdogs” than there were to have been officious intermeddlers.”

True. Without information, though, I was reluctant to badmouth them.

You know what really sucks here

Many of the culture libtards that have always infected this forum and who left like the little bitches they are over the years with clown posse and wideawakes and true blue and gopbriefingroom are now filtering back here after a decade of anti freeping and spreading their same old ecumenical relativist raicial prism horseshit

And some are right here on your thread

I liked it better when they were gone...

You must be on the wrong site - sound like a coward of the utmost degree. Where the victims went wrong was not being properly armed.

“Where the victims went wrong was not being properly armed.”

Bringing a gun to a knife fight is generally a good idea.

Where are you getting this?

I live in Southern Oregon and have friends in Redmond, Summer Lake and Bend, and I haven’t heard anything about drive-by shootings and MS-13 gangbangers acting with impunity.

But the other guy was an Army veteran and a genuine sheepdog, it would appear.

Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington area.

North of Pendelton and south of Walla Walla.

There’s a prison in the walla walla area where the feds are warehousing drug convicts, and as a result, all of the “la familia” of those convicts are congregating in an otherwise rural farming region.

The whole region is being overrun by illegals who are being brought in by “legals” engaged in human trafficking, church
groups engaged in profiteering, drug cartels sending in stormtroopers, and farmers and ranchers looking to exploit cheap foreign labor brought in by the above mentioned groups.

And this goes beyond just the mexicans. Plenty of ME and north african laborers have been showing up too.
