Man Shouting ‘Anti-Everything Slurs’ Kills 2 on Public Transportation in Portland, Police Say
KTLA ^ | 5/27/17

Posted on 05/27/2017 12:03:13 PM PDT by Timpanagos1

A man fatally stabbed two people and injured a third on a commuter train in Oregon’s largest city Friday as people confronted him for “yelling a gamut of anti-Muslim and anti-everything slurs,” a Portland police spokesman said.

Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, was on a Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) light-rail train in Portland late Friday afternoon when he started yelling what “would best be characterized as hate speech toward a variety of ethnicities and religions,” police said in news release.

Christian may have directed slurs at two young women who witnesses described as Muslim, one of whom was wearing a hijab, Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson told CNN.

As two men tried to calm him down, Christian stabbed them and one other man, police said.

The lesson to be learned here by inexperienced sheepdogs is that it is really, really hard to fight a man who has a knife.

So hard, in fact, that it should only be undertaken in extremis, even if you are the reincarnation of Bruce Lee.

Retreat, throw things, run if you can, but do not do not do not close with an assailant who is armed with a knife.

Aside from his name being “Christian” there is no indication that he killed Muslims.

Not enough ‘bad’.

That would be googolplex bad.

Can we make the converse argument - - - a knife is good for self defense?

NO /S

“Successfully deflect from Manchester events, make whitey look bad. Check.”

Okay, I believe that they have the malice to do it, but *how* would they engineer this?

“As two men tried to calm him down, Christian stabbed them”

Maybe this happened, but I doubt it. The two men were fine with his racism, they just wanted him to express it more calmly?

Of course.

Are you hinting that the suspect was defending himself against attackers?

It’s as he is right out of Hollywood Central Casting.

Or maybe the CIA connected via the wi-fi chip that was implanted in his head by Chelsea Clinton and they have controlled his actions every since Chelsea’s big science fair project at Sidwell Friends.

The guy was kicked out of a Trump rally. Attendees need to be packed and ready to testify on-air to this. Problem MenSeekingMen have is the long weekend.

This would be a good one for Laura Ingraham to cut her teeth on while Sean settles all the to-do items after the 9day trip.

You beat me to it. Portland is white-white.

Portland is 76% white according to Wikipedia
Oregon as a whole is 83% white.
