Two dead after hate crime in Portland

Two dead after hate crime in Portland
Witnesses: Man Cut the Throats of Two MAX Passengers Who Tried to Stop Anti-Muslim Bullying of Women on Northeast Portland Train

Trump's hate is even infiltrating the liberal bastion of Portland.

Two men were stabbed / had their throats cut by another rider who was hurling anti immigrant slurs at two dark skinned women, one in a head dress.

:'-(

Wow. I ride that route often. There's been some incidents, but nothing like this.

I just read about this. Really horrible. Sad

I've often wondered if I'd have the courage to step up if I saw someone bullying a muslim, and I had hoped I would, but this kind of thing makes me seriously doubt myself.

Why is this a "hate crime" and not a terrorist attack?

Terrorists have to be minorities, it seems.

There are distinctions between hate crimes and terrorist attacks.

From what I see, this man didn't commit a pre-planned act of terror in order to further his political or religious agenda using fear tactics. He hates Muslims, so he tried to kill a couple of them when he saw them. That's why it's a hate crime, in a nutshell.

"Terrorism is a term used in its broadest sense to describe the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim. It is used in this regard primarily to refer to violence against civilians or non-combatants." wiki
It seems terrorist can be all sorts. I would say these folks were christian terrorists, No?

I was a born-again christian for many years then I got woke.. and now life is better in so many ways. It's taking me time to see my value and find my voice, but the reward is liberating knowing my path is not dictated or controlled by fear of death and the unknown.  Casting off the shackles of religion is pretty fucking awesome. The beautiful people I've met on this forum have more heart and compassion than any group of people I've been apart of. So back off Jesus and followers, because this bitch is done with Chu.  Shy
