manicholic 3,694 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The man accused of the brutal hate crime slayings of two people at the Hollywood Transit Center in Portland 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 ("**** all you n*****s") and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day. He yelled "Hail Vinland" throughout the day. A few Portland police officers on April 29 appeared to be familiar with Christian, but not threatened by him. They claimed he had a head injury and was mentally ill. Christian has a criminal record that includes a host of felonies going back to 2002, when he was convicted of first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping. He also has a conviction for carrying/using a dangerous weapon from 2002. His Facebook page is replete with anti-Semitic comments and other evidence of his views.

Morphine Prince 109,647 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Oh, look a homegrown terrorist. A white all American male killing the own people of his country. Where is the president's outrage? Will Fox News discuss this issue 24/7 and make us fear white supremacists? Will we ban white supremacist groups from this country? Will the police crack down on white supremacists? Will they patrol mostly white areas just in case supremacists are hanging around ready to kill?

manicholic 3,694 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 One of the victims / heroes of this attack has now been identified: Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, one of the two Good Samaritans brutally slain Friday on a MAX train, is a former Ashland resident who graduated from Reed College. His mother, Asha Deliverance, spoke of her son Saturday morning her on Facebook page. She wrote: "Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, My dear baby boy passed on yesterday while protecting two young Muslim girls from a racist man on the train in Portland. He was a hero and will remain a hero on the other side of the veil. Shining bright star I love you forever." Meche graduated from Reed in 2016 with an economics degree. He worked for the Cadmus Group, according to his Facebook page. The Massachusetts-based company's website says, "We deliver services and solutions that transform markets and behaviors, create social and economic value, and improve people's lives." Portland authorities have not confirmed the identities of the two stabbing victims who died or a third victim who was hospitalized. Reed College communications director, Kevin Myers, said he used to play basketball with Meche a couple times a week when Meche was a student at the college. "He really was just, just a selfless, selfless person," Myers said. "And clearly to act like this is evidence of that." https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonwells/portland-train-killings?utm_term=.frPDP3m6V#.cmpqZ4kKR There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

Supersonic 49,376 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I saw this earlier floating around on Twitter, he was also an avid Bernie Sanders supporter and part of the #BernieOrBust crew. I really don't know how people like him make a sense of their belief systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
