A 32-year-old woman is being held without bail after allegedly shoving a 3-year-old girl off a Northeast Portland MAX station platform and onto the train tracks Wednesday, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office said.

A male bystander quickly rescued the child, who reported a severe headache and had a small red mark on her forehead, the district attorney’s office said.

Brianna Lace Workman, 32, was arraigned Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court on charges of first-degree attempted assault, a felony, and third-degree assault, interfering with public transportation, second-degree disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment and harassment, misdemeanors, court records show.

Workman is listed as homeless and living in Portland, according to court records.

Workman is accused of shoving the child, who was waiting with her mother at the Gateway Transit Center on Wednesday. The girl, who was not publicly identified, landed face-first on the metal rail and rocks before being rescued from the train tracks, the district attorney’s office said.

“ These mentally-ill people need to be in facilities.”

There are no facilities.

Why would you want to euthanize Brianna Lace Workman? I hear she is a very popular drag queen story time teller in the local kindergartens.

So quick to write off female evil as mental illness.

Why dont we write off male evil as mental illness? Because men are bigger and stronger and the nursery rhyme about little boys and girls cloud our judgments.

[...and, at this point, I do not care who stops the Globalists, only that they be STOPPED.]

I’m with ya, on that one, for sure.

Unfortunately, Daniel 7:23 MUST and WILL be fulfilled. Which indicates to me that despite our best efforts, they are going to be successful.

For a short while.

[only that they be STOPPED.]

This WILL indeed happen. But, IMHO, only at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this Earth. That will be humanity’s last hope. MANY WILL be saved out of the 7-year Tribulation period too. MANY.

For they will refuse the Mark of the Beast and pay with their lives.

AND WILL LIVE FOREVER.

Revelation 14 (written down by brother John).

King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

We all hear the constant, mentally ill, homeless, but I’m not always buying it. Then there’s always, it was a “robbery”.

The ACLU was bankrupting states with class action lawsuits of torture and holding people against their will, so Reagan had them all shut down.

Yes, crematoriums.

It wasn’t Reagan. It was Jimmy Carter.

No, it was Reagan, and I’m not faulting him for doing so. What I am sick of is, are subversives who have been allowed to infiltrate this country before I was even born, to put us on a path where foreign or domestic groups who are anti-America and are allowed to beat us over the head with our own rights in The Constitution to twist its meaning.

1963 President John F. Kennedy signs the Community Mental Health Act. This pushes the responsibility of mentally ill patients from the state toward the federal government. JFK wanted to create a network of community mental health centers where mentally ill people could live in the community while receiving care.

Less than a month after signing the new legislation, JFK is assassinated. The community mental health centers never receive stable funding, and even 15 years later less than half the promised centers are built.

1967 Ronald Reagan is elected governor of California. At this point, the number of patients in state hospitals had fallen to 22,000, and the Reagan administration uses the decline as a reason to make cuts to the Department of Mental Hygiene. They cut 2,600 jobs and 10 percent of the budget despite reports showing that hospitals were already below recommended staffing levels.

1967 Reagan signs the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act and ends the practice of institutionalizing patients against their will, or for indefinite amounts of time. This law is regarded by some as a “patient’s bill of rights”. Sadly, the care outside state hospitals was inadequate. The year after the law goes into effect, a study shows the number of mentally ill people entering San Mateo’s criminal justice system doubles.

1969 Reagan reverses earlier budget cuts. He increases spending on the Department of Mental Hygiene by a record $28 million.

1973 The number of patients in California State mental hospitals falls to 7,000.

1980 President Jimmy Carter signs the Mental Health Systems Act to improve on Kennedy’s dream.

Nearly ALL violent crime and shootings in the state of Ore-gone is in the diverse neighborhood of Northeast Portland. Nearly the entirety of Oregon’s diversity lives there. But of course the ONLY crime talked about is the white drug addled psycho who stabbed two people on the MAX train, in Portland, 5 years ago. All the black on black, black on white black on Latino, murders are ignored. I am surprised this attempted murder of a baby was even reported.

“Brianna Lace Workman, 32, was arraigned Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court on charges of first-degree attempted assault, a felony, and third-degree assault, interfering with public transportation, second-degree disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment and harassment, misdemeanors, court records show.”

Why was she not charged with attempted murder? Instead, she is charged with one felony and a slew of misdemeanors.

I knew what the video was about, but I was shocked when I watched it. That is hard to believe.

Why didn't the mother rescue her own child?

Patriarchy and "mainsplaining," again! (The man is probably also suffering from the "White Savior" Complex.)
