Hatewatch

Document text

A man who slashed the throats of two men and stabbed another in Portland yesterday holds extremist views. Two of the men are dead after they came to the aid of Muslim women who were being harassed on a Portland train by the 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.
