Trump supporter kills two on Portland subway

2 Fatally Stabbed on Portland Train After Trying to Calm ‘Ranting’ Man

Two people were fatally stabbed after trying to intervene when a man was spewing "hate speech" on a Portland, Oregon train on Friday, police said.

The suspect, who was not immediately identified, was captured south of the Hollywood transit center shortly after the 4:30 p.m. stabbing on a MAX light rail train, Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said.

A third person was also stabbed but suffered non-life threatening injures, Simpson said. He said the men were attacked after at least a couple of them tried to intervene after the man was "ranting and raving" and using language that could be characterized as hate or bias speech, some of which was anti-Muslim.

"In the midst of his ranting and raving some people approached him, appeared to try to intervene with his behavior and some of the people that he was yelling at," Simpson said. "They were attacked viciously by the suspect."

Some of the suspect's speech was directed at two young Muslim women, one of whom was reported to have been wearing a hijab, but Simpson said the witnesses reported that the suspect's comments were not exclusively anti-Muslim. continues....
