I imagine that the families' wishes will be honored. I'm just reeling over this, as a Portland citizen.

Mayor Ted Wheeler was on a flight to London when this happened. As soon as his plane landed, he took the first flight back to Portland. I really respect him for that.

I read the Freeper's thread (when I googled the assailant's name ) and besides making fun of PDX for basically being a snowflake city, one poster opined that the killer was acting in self-defense!
