    PDX Double Murder at MAX transit center

    I was at work (8 miles away) when this happened. So sad!

    A man riding the MAX in Northeast Portland fatally stabbed two passengers who tried to stop him from hurling racial and anti-Muslim insults at women on the train, witnesses tell WW's news partner KATU-TV.


    More about the scum that took two lives and sent a third to the hospital with serious but not fatal wounds.


    Ricky John Best, 53, and Taliesin Myrddin Namakai-Meche, 23, were killed Friday afternoon.

      So awful I just really hope it won't discourage others from doing the right thing in the future.

        I have to give props to these two guys,sorry they were killed,but They stepped up,only regret that the perp did not also go down.

        I know,I know,the incident should never have happened in the first place,but the guy had a history of white power stuff as I read.

          I just think it's sick. It just is promoting racism when we don't need it in our society.

            Fucking terrorists.

            I'm sick of these racist bastards not being called what they are.

            White supremacists that commit violent crimes are just as much terrorists as any religious extremist doing the same.

                I had heard about this. It's really awful that someone doing the right thing is killed. I hope it won't stop other people from standing up against these assholes. To think people still believe racism and white nationalism aren't major issues.

                  I agree so much with this sentiment. The wrong people died in this scenario. Things like this still make me question Deity. What an unfair waste of exactly what the human race needs; decent people willing to do the right thing.

                    This isn't something particularly new. Attacks against Muslims have become increasingly common. It is interesting that it suddenly becomes a national tragedy when a non-Muslim gets attacked as well. Apparently, that is the line.

                    And White Nationalism and the Nazi movement is spreading fast. The police protect their rallies. The liberal's cry that they deserve free speech. The only people who takes a stand against them in the street get arrested and harassed by the cops. We know the State apparatus isn't going to protect Muslims. The head of the State has emboldened the attackers. We're doing organizing in Alabama right now to counter these rallies. There is street level organizing going on all over the country against the fascist movement. Anyone who is able should show up to oppose these literal Nazis. Because the police and the State is not going to stop them and the more they spread their the message, the more their views become normalized, and the more people of color will die. If you are able to make a stand and don't then you are complicit.

                      Well, yes, we do have this thing called the first amendment. In those areas that are public spaces, it has been traditional to allow pretty much anyone to protest. When I was a kid, I was one of about 10,000 people protesting 7 neo-Nazis, with a police line to keep them from getting their ass kicked. That would be in the 80's...so nothing has changed.

                        One need only remember The Village of Skokie,,and the history of that event.

                        Story here.

                        This is an old story....

                        In 1977, the leader of the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Frank Collin, announced a march through the Chicago suburb of Skokie, Ill. While a neo-Nazi march would be controversial under any circumstances, the fact that one out of six people in Skokie were Holocaust survivors made it even more provocative. Chicago authorities took steps to prevent it, including requiring the NSPA to post $350,000 worth of liability insurance in case any damage occurred. Authorities also banned the display of Nazi images, explaining that the violence that might have been incited overrode free speech protections.

                          Traditional? Someone inform the Labor movement. Someone inform the Civil Rights movement. Someone inform BLM. Someone inform the journalists who have been arrested at these events. I think there is a few dead kids at Kent State who would find that this is not the tradition. Maybe I'm crazy for questioning what a 230 year old document that was written by slave owners can do to protect the Right's of groups this nation historically oppresses.

                          Anyways, I am quite aware of what free speech entails. I don't expect the State to shut down a Nazi rally. But, free speech doesn't protect the far-Right racists and Nazis when they get they get shut down by activists on the streets. Milo Yiannopoulos getting shutdown in Berkeley is a great example. And the tears flowed from even liberal outlets about how this was a great tragedy for free speech. Even people like Robert Reich we're going so far as to claim the Black Bloc were far-Right infiltrators and agitators which is just as ridiculous as the far-Right claims that George Soro's pays protesters. The far-Right is exploding across Europe and the Unite States. Even growing up in Alabama I never saw sign of the KKK. And now KKK flyers are appearing in the neighborhood I grew up in.

                          So, when I see a Nazi rally or far-right anything get shut down by activists only to see Liberals rush to defend their ability to speak hate I think it's understandable that I am a bit perturbed.
