I apologize if this has been mentioned already; I haven't checked up on the forum this week. But I was reading an article about Portland's mayor (he's a real scumbag), and this comment at the end of the article in regards to the man who stabbed these people caught my attention:

"He supported Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders and was an atheist that vehemently hated all religions."

And then this quote from his Facebook page:

"Sanders/Stein 2017! Let's stop these pipelines and reign in the Prison/Industrial Complexes!!! We the People have the right(As enshrined in our Constitution)to change any government by any means necessary!!! If Not Today Then Tomorrow" - Jeremy Christian on Facebook

Food for thought. It certainly dishes away the Left's argument that this was an Alt-Right killing.

He also posted in support of Trump.

He's marched in multiple pro alt-right marches. The videos of that are already posted in this thread.

I would probably shit my pants and curl up into a ball.

Also Rand Paul is against the "prison/industrial complex". That's not a right or left issue but a concern of many Americans.
 
No one is acting like this is a good outcome. No one is happy these guys died. Well, maybe the perp, I don't know.



So these girls are stray dogs? Is that really the analogy you are going for?



Please describe what you think the proper procedure is in such a situation.

Not even sure, reading this new report it sounds pretty brutal. The earlier eyewitness report made it seem like someone pushed the psycho first.

I don't know what was said, I do know that the defendant is a psycho. As I've stated.

Crazy dude just snapped in a confined space and these guys were trying to stop him? Good on them.

In also don't know why you have to use the stray dogs as analogous to the girls. You're just trying to be an ass by doing that, purposely.
 
And you can all re read the thread and see where I blamed the police, dude should have already been in custody. That I've already said this is a fact.

So basically, this guy was just plain nuts. It doesn't sound to me like he had any concrete viewpoints or political beliefs at all.

Sometimes you just can't fix crazy.

I was just pasting something I read in a comment section, that's all. I personally don't have an opinion one way or the other on the issue of prisons. At the moment.

Still want to see the whole thing with audio but it sounds like this nutjob was gonna snap at any moment. They still should have took him in for running around a demonstration with a baseball bat. There has to be something they could have held him on and then done a psych eval on him.

There is nothing illegal about holding a baseball bat on a baseball field. If you watch the video he was actually walking with the bat in the outfield of the little league field at Montavilla park.

It is very unfortunate that our social services are to the point that they are over-burdened, under-funded, and grossly understaffed. But even if we had an extra 100,000 social service/counseling personnel in the City Of Portland before this guy went crazy, it is unlikely that it would have mattered much. Unless he is a direct threat to himself or others, there's just not a lot legally that anyone can do (unfortunately, it takes more than a FB post to be considered a threat or danger). And those laws are there for good reason: the protect patient privacy and the public's privacy.

However, it may be time to look into revamping the system. Although he we're going to do that without enormous tax payer dollars and tons of new laws is beyond me.

This video is OK. Dude talks about a lot of the shit on the killer's Facebook page and tries to understand his MO



That was the single most objective, rational piece of journalism I have seen in the past 2 years. I wish more "journalists" were like this.

Tim Pool. Have you seen Dave Rubin's youtube channel? He's pretty good too.
 
Unfortunately no. Studying, busy at work, house projects for myself and frienda. Been replacing siding at a buddies house.

Well there not going anywhere so u'll have time to watch whenever that may be.

They followed him and made him give it to them didn't they? If it isn't illegal why did they get it from him?
 
Doesn't Trimet have some kind of emergency button you can push or a number to call to report stuff like this? I mean really, they should put signs up that if this sort of thing happens, to contact tri-met police so they can board the train and arrest or escort the person off.

This started at Lloyd and ended at Hollywood which is a three minute ride. The driver was telling the murder to get off the train when the knifing happened. Not enough time, unless cops were already on the platform when the train arrived.

Can you imaging how bad some people would freak out if TriMet put cops on every platform?

Help me out here. What is the question?

The question I wanted you to answer was what was it that offended you about the mother's letter to Trump?

It was more the article than the woman. And worst yet that Rasta felt the need to repeat the crap in this forum.
It seems inappropriate to be asking Trump to speak out about violence when a whacko in Portland finally does kill people after shooting his mouth off about town threatening people for some time now.

It seems like a repeat of the leap to conclude that Trump is responsible just like the media rushed to do when the story broke.
It is similarly strange, the want to string adjectives together to express the anti Trump alt-left agenda at any opportunity.
Here is the message the alt-left wants to see;

White supremest, racist, alt-right, Trump supporter Kills Two in Trump's America!

Did I miss any important adjectives?

I find this current phenomenon of peculiar political hate the scariest thing of my lifetime. Your political hate is obscuring the problems you have in your city, as in many cities.

But if people knew the could contact tri-met police and have them there within say 10 minutes, they might do that rather than escalating the incident themselves.
