Portland Stabbings: Man Arrested for Double Murder After Allegedly Threatening Muslim Women Has Racist Views, Praised Timothy McVeigh
May 27, 2017 - Stephen Piggott

.... alleged suspect, Jeremy Christian. Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson told The Oregonian that the man was using "hate speech or biased language," before turning on the women, one of whom was wearing a hijab. When fellow riders came to their aid, he slashed their throats. .............

A review of Christian's Facebook page shows an individual all over the political spectrum but indicates that he holds some racist and other extremist beliefs. In an April 9 post, he wrote, “I just Challenged Ben Ferencz (Last Living Nuremberg Persecutor) to a Debate in the Hague with Putin as our judge. I will defend the Nazis .....

This past April 19, the anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Christian praised Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh writing, “May all the Gods Bless Timothy McVeigh a TRUE PATRIOT!!!” In February 2016 he wrote, “I'm sure most of you don't remember but the American Nazi Party was taking care of a stretch of highway in Oregon about 10 years ago until ODOT took down their sign. Apparently Nazis don't have the freedom to exercise their civic duties in this State. Why? Because we live in a Fascist Police State run By "Liberal" "Multicultural" NAZIS!!!”

In a post at the end of 2016, Christian promoted the idea of creating a white’s only area in the Pacific Northwest, a location long-touted by white nationalists as a possible location for a “homeland.” Christian wrote, “So, its like this. If you support Israel for Zionist homeland for Jews then you should also support Cascadia as a White homeland for whites only ... The post included the hashtag #BalkanizeTheUSA

Christian’s postings on Facebook over the past few months have become increasingly hostile toward Antifa – the antifascist movement that has recently clashed with racists at right-wing and racist rallies ..............
