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.

Don't dismiss those arguments with which you disagree as being non-serious.

The moral culpability of the perpetrator of attempted murder is the same as that of a murderer. That the child in this case was not killed by a train was due entirely to the bravery of a bystander. If the perp intended death to occur, she should be penalized as if it had.

“There are no facilities.”

Will this bankrupt society EVER get the courage to open them back up?

“Who made you eat bugs?”

Also going on in Canada, and then here. The ONLY question is when you choose to fight them, the Dutch farmers waited too long.

It was said by many who were opposed to it that they were being shut down in order to balance the state budgets, which were overloaded with spending.

Animals, maybe. The only bug stuff I’ve seen on the WEF is meal worms. Protein, ground and added to feed for critters. Possibility of the same for starving folks, like a protein shake powder. How it went from that to what it is in some minds is crazy paranoia.
