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.

Too bad someone got killed. But anyone who sticks their neck out for muslims better expect the worst. This is a case where the victims should have followed Ann Landers’s best advice: MYOB.
Translation: FBI informant.
The police in Portland knew he had extremist views, knew he had a potential for violence but did not not keep an eye on him.
We see this same pattern with almost all terror attacks.
You would not stand up to defend a woman who is being attacked?
Can’t do nothing until they kill somebody. Thank the left.
Trump’s fault. /sarc
The media didn’t wait long to: 1. post his picture; 2. identify him by name; 3. determine that his name was Christian; and 4. come up with a motive. None of this, “Let’s not rush to judgment. We might never know his motives” stuff for the media this time.
Do they have renewed energy to just do their jobs? Naw . . ..
The hashtag for this came to a screeching halt when the learned via his FB that he’s a Bernie Voter.
You are kidding?
“intervene”
Need details.
I hope no one here defends this creep; but some will, or will make excuses for him.

Good Lord. They really can't get a grip can they? What would have happened if we had acted like that when Barry got the nod for eight years?
“I hope no one here defends this creep; but some will, or will make excuses for him.”
I doubt that will happen.
Some may blame his actions to insanity as opposed to political or religious ideology, but not defend a person who only be described as a terrorist.
I think many will hesitate to label him as a terrorist.
