Man shouting racists slurs slashes throats on Portland metro

[Direpenguin]

Well, only one was wearing a headdress and he directed his hate speech at both. What should the one do, stop looking foreign?




Eh, he was armed, they not. It's not like people who go about randomly insulting minorities on trains, carry knives with them and are perfectly willing to kill other peope are necessarily the most levelheaded ones in the universe.

'hate speech' -- I love how terms are used to sensationalize situations. White man to Muslims is hate speech, but masked college students to conservatives = peaceful protesting

Um, no? Not sure where I indicated something like that...

maybe people should keep their religions to themselves and stop wearing their stupid ass head scarfs out in public.

Maybe people shouldn't care about what others wear as long as it's not hurting anyone.

Interesting you chose head scarfs which are pretty rare versus crucifix jewelry which is everywhere.

After every muslim terror attack there is a flood of articles either praising muslims or painting them as victims. After Manchester bombing within minutes there was tons of #twatters praising them for fuck knows what (not bombing). I'm fed up with that lot.

Just as a heads up, I fixed the title, since as pointed out, the article mentions nothing about ISIS.

Indeed, this crime was clearly the work of Vanilla ISIS.

Even if it is part of their religion? As long as they aren't proselytizing and whatnot, they are keeping their religion to themselves.

The police car, equipped with audio and video recording devices, captured statements from Christian, a suspect in the stabbing deaths of two people on a Portland light rail.
"Think I stab (expletives) in the neck for fun? Oh yeah, you're right I do. I'm a patriot."
His recorded statements in the police car were revealed in an affidavit released Tuesday.
"That's what liberalism gets you," he was recorded saying.
"I hope they all die. I'm gonna say that on the stand. I'm a patriot, and I hope everyone I stabbed died."

This is why you dont ride public transportation it attracts the psychos.

This is very true.

This is actually not true at all. Wonder why you come to that wrongful conclusion? Do you ever speak to another person in their own car? Or do they speak to you or do you hear someone in another car speak to another person in a car? No? Hmmmm.....

Then again... you do probably get effing angry at certain drivers for the way they drive/behave during driving.

My guess is that the amount of psychos of people in public transport vs people on the road in their own car.... is about the same. You just notice it less or mistake it for reckless driving.

Why do you think this has anything to do with ISIS?

He literally said nothing about ISIS...

White Knighting gone wrong.

Remember kids, if you gotta white knight, do it online.

Or if you're going to white knight, bring a gun.

[GennGreymane]

sounds like a pleasant person.

That's oxymoron tho. White Knights are bleeding heart liberals / sjws. They all against guns rememba?

I'm sorry?

I catch public transport every day and have never experienced psychotic people. The worst were bumbling drunks or stoners.

Either the city you come from has a very high crime rate or you just don't catch public transport enough. This incident could have happened anywhere.

Title did originally. Mod has edited it since.

This is why I carried a .45 on me when I was taking MAX.

I understand why and you might have been able to get of a shot and take the scum with you, but I highly doubt you could avoid getting stabbed in a situation like that.

Personally I'll keep avoiding public transport, there are also a lot of annoying and smelly people there.

That face reeks of criminal.

Maybe people should stop trying to tell other people what to wear. If you want to wear your man rompers, you go right on ahead.

If a situation on MAX was serious enough for me to get involved, it would have been serious enough for the .45 to already be out.
