“Free speech or die, Portland!”
By Lydia O’Connor
In a chilling first court appearance on Tuesday, Portland stabbing suspect Jeremy Christian yelled about free speech and patriotism and called for more deaths.
“Free speech or die, Portland!” Christian, 35, yelled as he walked into his arraignment hearing, local NBC outlet KGW reported. “You got no safe place. This is America. Get out if you don’t like free speech!”
Christian is accused of stabbing three men ― Ricky John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, who died from their injuries, and Micah David-Cole Fletcher, who is expected to survive ― after they tried to stop Christian from harassing two young women on a train in Portland, Oregon, because the women appeared to be Muslim.
“Death to the enemies of America. Leave this country if you hate our freedom. Death to Antifa!” he yelled in court Tuesday, referring to antifascism. “You call it terrorism, I call it patriotism. You hear me? Die.”

What a piece of shit. I hope he rots. 
Good thing this guy isn't a terrorist because:
1. the unlawful use of violence and intimidation
2. against civilians
3. in the pursuit of political aims
4. Dark Skin - NOPE!!!
And no one has said anything about sending Jeremy Christian back to Europe or stopping travel from there or profiling people who look and act like him or browse the same websites or spew the same hate speech.
One of the girls, Destinee Mangan, was not a Muslim, just black. Telling a black American to go back to Saudi Arabia is the Trumpiest thing a Trumper can do. A brave patriot would slit the throats of anyone opposing his 1st amendment right to harass and intimidate dark skinned young women.
After eating a lot of fibrous vegetables for dinner, I take a big morning TRUMP and flush it down.
Seriously, what is the way to deal with people like this? Do nothing and they continue to harass people. Speak up and they kill you. And for some reason, the police didn't find him dangerous enough to shoot, not even to wound him in the leg or something. Let alone give him the All Lives Matter treatment. We know whose lives matter. 
What happened in this man's life that turned him into such a murderous hate machine? Of course HE blames the victims for being in "his" country in the first place. 
A lifetime in prison is more than he deserves.
What a hate-filled man.

Standing behind glass partitions in the defendant’s area, he continued: “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.”
As he finished his statement, a crowd of about 30 anti-fascist protesters who were watching a livestream on their phones, could be heard yelling outside the courtroom doors..................................................
