At the asswad's arraignment he had what are being dubbed "outbursts" saying things like "Free speech or die, Portland! You got no safe place. This is America. Get out if you don’t like free speech!” and “Death to the enemies of America. Leave this country if you hate our freedom. Death to Antifa! You call it terrorism, I call it patriotism! You hear me? Die.”
Dude, stabbing people to death isn't "free speech" that's a fucking felony.
There is also cell phone video of said asswad berating a Trimet operator (apparently) the night before he committed his crimes and he has a prior criminal record including three felonies.

And Update: two victims died, but three were stabbed. The third victim's injuries were said to be millimeters from being fatal.
In related news, Portland's Mayor is asking two right-wing groups with upcoming events to cancel them.

To be clear, Wheeler as asked the groups to cancel the events voluntarily, he has not gotten the permits for the events pulled as that would be blatantly unconstitutional and the ACLU is all over this story right now. One of the events is being organized by a group dubbed "the largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in America" by the Southern Poverty Law center.
