Lol, exactly.

While I agree it's not fair or right to stereotype Trump supporters, this is basically what happens any time a minority group is the criminal.

My personal favorite is, "The black community needs to fix...", whenever it's a black person(s) doing the crime.

I think it's a shame so many of you missed ahzzie's point of their post.

Tho I DO have a BIG problem with many Muslims saying anybody who quits that religion needs to be killed. That kind of talk crosses the line into gangs and terrorists.

There are many other ways one can be a minority.

When the liberal college students turned violent a few months ago the Trumplings couldn't wait to come on here and accuse all liberals everywhere of having the same violent tendencies.

Now when it's​ a right winger committing the violence suddenly this doesn't apply to the whole group, just a few bad ones. Why the hypocrisy?

Totally agree with both of these posts. I'm no fan of Islam or any other oppressive religion but we've got to stop this senseless violence on both sides. It's getting old.

Witnesses: Man Cut the Throats of Two MAX Passengers Who Tried to Stop Anti-Muslim Bullying of Women on Northeast Portland Train - Willamette Week

I live here. I've ridden that max.
You get back to me when you are counting up that body count caused by Muslims with ill intent. Until then, take your faux outrage somewhere else.

One sided story. What part of this did you skip:

"yelling various remarks that would best be characterized as hate speech toward a variety of ethnicities and religions."

and this

"..police are still looking for the two young women, who may have been targets of the verbal abuse.

But now we've got our first Ramadan story about 2 Muslim women in the wind with a headline like this:

Man Cut the Throats of Two MAX Passengers Who Tried to Stop Anti-Muslim Bullying of Women on Northeast Portland Train

This is media slanted writing so it gets clicks with a fake headline. I unsubscribed from the Washington Post's daily e-mail for the same reason: The headlines that they sent in e-mail didn't match the stories they are attached to but you have to at least go midway through the article to discover that. I'm guessing clicks allow them to charge more for advertising or gets them advertising. In other words, they don't give a hoot about their false headlines or crappy reporting as long as they are making money by doing it. What I don't get is why otherwise sane people who question sketchy business practices all of the time, exclude the news industry from their criticism.

A guy named "Christian" did it?!

Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, is being held without bail. He was also arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor charges, records show.
A Portland police spokesman didn't immediately return an email seeking information about whether Christian is suspected in a stabbing that left two dead and one injured the day before in Northeast Portland.



This is a TV drama villain, straight from central casting, come to real life.

Oh yeah. The poster who tried to tell me that someone yelling racial and derogatory slurs at someone in public isn't a big deal, and I countered by saying these things can escalate and become violent pretty quickly.

And look what happened.

But by all means, continue to look and post like a jack wagon.

Why?

This isn't the first time anti Muslim hate crimes resulted in serious injury and death in America.

So his speech killed them?

Really?

You are just as bad as the person I responded to, never letting a crisis go to waste to push your politics.

You people really have no shame.

You Fascist on though comrade!
