A man fatally stabbed two people and injured a third on a commuter train in Oregons 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.

Women were being attacked? According to reports, there were no females injured, Muslim or otherwise.
Simply because they apparently not injured does not mean that they were not attacked. Perhaps they were just attacked verbally, but it was enough for some actual men to defend the women’s.
But I’m sure when Mr. Christian gets out of prison in 198 years, he can write a book about how he did not attack the women.
And one other thing, if the woman were being attacked as you suggested, why did they they bail out and leave the scene and not even wait for the cops? In fact one cop said they have not even located them yet.
Wait a minute, where in the article does it say women were being physically attacked by someone?
Oh, they were just verbally attacked? OK, so lets finish that.
And then 2 or 3 males "Intervened" and physically attempted to stop the talking attacker?
Or?
Or, Mr. Christian will go back to prison. This time for the rest of his life.
Interesting, you already have this guy doing 198 years in prison, yet the investigators just started their investigation and they haven’t even released the video from the train. In fact, you haven’t even seen a statement from the alleged suspect regarding his side of the story.
That’s very revealing about you.
WTF does that mean?
What does Norway have to do with anything?
This guy is clearly crazy. By any definition.
I know that the left will try to make this guy an avatar for Trump supporters, but he's just a looney tunes murderer.
Hope he gets the justice he deserves.
Let’s do the “what if” version of the story.
What if the guy was verbally attacking two Women wearing Trump Hats and three guys who “intervened” were stabbed?
The News would be, a Man engaging in Free Speech was attacked by three Right Wing Extremists and killed two of them in self defense.
He could be a nut. But there are nuts everywhere who don’t physically attack people. You might want to hear some of the facts first and maybe view the video if it exists, prior to convicting this guy.
Something is REALLY not adding up about this.
Two guys die and one injured by throat slashing from a Bernie Voter who antagonized both sides of Berkeley/Antifa brawls.
After the Muslim girls de-trained, they run on the Bernie voter, instead of de-training themselves and calling the cops?
Was this a private Antifa meetup gone real wrong?
To clarify my point, all the reports stated 2 or 3 males “intervened” when the alleged suspect was talking/shouting.
Begs the question, who physically attacked who first?
The courts would view it as a double murder.
Why would three guys give up their lives for two girls that already de-trained?
Dragnet2 is actually quite correct.
The story makes no sense at all, at least what is being reported in the (cough) media.
This perp at first glance seems to be quite unhinged.
He shows up at a Trump rally making the Nazi salute and carrying a baseball bat.
What happens? REAL Trump supporters call the cops, and the police take him away.
I can't speak for all Trump supporters, but the people who got "roughed up" at his rallies were ALL later exposed as agents provacateurs.
Putting on klan hoods, making Nazi salutes etc.
The "white supremacist" tag is thrown at republicans all the time, but is 100% false.
I know I would kick this guy out of a meeting for pulling that obvious false flag BS.
. Truly I DON'T know which side this guy worked for.
I lean towards him being a left-wing Anders Breivik type.
Some pathetic loser who loves attention.
Might even kill for it.
Guess I'll wait for more information.
Unfortunately it will probably come from the MSM.
This was three liberals showing up with only attitudes to a knife-fight.
If a male Trump supporter was shouting anti Obama stuff at 2 female leftist/anarchist and 2 or 3 other male leftist decided to, “Intervene” and attempt to physically stop him or started assaulting the Trump supporter.
If he defended himself, would it be murder?
I have no idea. Maybe they’re were not smart enough to realize lots of people nowadays are really tightly wound and if ya threaten them or get physical with them, things can go south fast.
