Anti-Islamic nut-job was harassing some Muslim women at the train station in the liberal bastion of Portland, Oregon. Three good Samaritans tried to defend the women and two were killed and one badly wounded for their efforts. Evil guns were not involved. Not a classic WoT Ops entry but seems the most appropriate place to put it.
[WashingtonPost] Christian, 35, is accused of fatally stabbing two men Friday night as they tried to intervene when he shouted anti-Muslim hate speech at two young women on a light-rail train in Portland. He is being held on two counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted murder, among other charges, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
The attack comes as Portland has weathered rising tensions between groups with fiercely opposing views, including white nationalists, right-wing extremists, anarchists and so-called left-wing "antifascists," known as the "antifa." |
