Portland train suspect: 'I hope everyone I stabbed died'

After his arrest, Jeremy Joseph Christian sat in the back of a police car and said: "I stabbed the two (expletives) in the neck and I'm happy now."

The police car, equipped with audio and video recording devices, captured statements from Christian, a suspect in the stabbing deaths of two people on a Portland light rail.

"Think I stab (expletives) in the neck for fun? Oh yeah, you're right I do. I'm a patriot."

His recorded statements in the police car were revealed in an affidavit released Tuesday.

That is one evil dude. Lock him up and throw away the key. Society would be safer if we could send him and his ilk to the moon.

I can see him shanking minorities in the general population since he seems to enjoy killing. He's a dangerous man.

I hope he doesn't end up suicided. I want him to face his punishment.

Have a penal colony on the moon . But I guess it would be too expensive, after they worked out all the logistics.

Stranger in a Strange Land was all the rage when I was in high school (late '60s). After a quick glance at Heinlein's themes, it looks like his works make fine reading for today. I'd rather read him than Ann Rand but I have a chip on my shoulder against her.

As you can see from the link he's not someone whose support Sanders would be proud to have, to put it mildly. He has described himself elsewhere as a white nationalist. But there's an obvious problem with laying this one entirely on Trump.

This maniac represents millions of Trump voters. And that is not hyperbole, millions of his voters want to see the opposition killed.
