    Even then, it's rhetoric.

    It doesn't justify detonating a bomb in a mosque, nor these murders.

    Trying to understand Islam and Islamic terrorism through political rhetoric is dangerous: whether you call them "violent extremists" or "Islamic extremists". I wouldn't ever turn towards politicians to gain such insight. Personally, I'd recommend The Looming Tower.

    They're likely the ones who were killed by the attacker, arrested the attacker, booked the attacker, and, likely, both prosecute and judge the attacker.

    Welcome to the wide-world of Western democracy in action.

    The people that love to blame Islam and all Muslims for the horrible acts committed by ISIS and AQ should def not have a problem blaming Dumbass Trump for crimes such as these.

    No one ever considers "Islamic terrorists" in this light. Kudos to you if you do. I agree that people suck bullcrap narratives too hard.

    RIP to the brave men that came to these women's defense. I love how we as a people, no matter what our views are, continue to stand up for others. I see a lot of replies from the usual POS posters, but they won't make me cynical. Cowards like the ones in these threads will never take away our identity.

    Pretty much. The reason this bothered me is because it has happened more frequently lately (sorry Astrodome but this is pretty much the Trump
    Machine fostering the behavior) and it shouldn't deter someone from standing up for those being bullied. The average xenophobic Trump supporter looks for any reason to spew racist vitriol. It's a safe assumption that most are overloaded with guns and other arms they don't really need for their own safety.

    I have Muslim and Indian friends that have been targeted now that were never targeted before. I've had racists come to job sites demanding workers immigration status. This never happened before. We all know why.

    So let me get this straight. A Bernie Supporter who hates Trump goes on a racist rant, stabs two people and it's Trump's fault? You people are seriously losing it.


    btw I'm not blaming Bernie Sanders. I'm blaming the suspect who actually did this and no one else.

    Christian is a known right wing extremist and white supremacist. On April 29, Christian showed up to the right-wing "March for Free Speech" on 82nd Avenue in Montavilla with a baseball bat in an attempt to assault left-wing protesters. The bat was quickly confiscated by Portland police officers. He ranted how he was a nihilist. He'd soon yelled racial slurs ("**** all you n*****s") and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day. He yelled "Hail Vinland" throughout the day.

    Christian has a criminal record that includes a host of felonies going back to 2002, when he was convicted of first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping. He also has a conviction for carrying/using a dangerous weapon from 2002.

    His Facebook page is replete with anti-Semitic comments and other evidence of his views. Here are some examples.

    Mayor Ted Wheeler, who was flying from London to Portland when the crime occurred, issued his first statement this morning:

    "There is too much hatred in our world right now, and far too much violence. Too much of it has arrived here in Portland," Wheeler said in a press release. "My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives, and to those who witnessed what happened. Thank you to our first responders, who provided aid, and police who captured the suspected killer. Now is the time, we must come together as a community and love one another. We must reject hatred and violence. We must seek justice."

    So by that logic, when a Muslim guy shoots up a shopping mall or a night club, we are blaming him and no one else?

    Just want to be clear.

    Your reply didn't refute anything I said. He was racist and a Bernie supporter. He also hated Trump and Hillary.

    I'm not blaming anyone but the suspect. Not Bernie, not Trump not Hillary.

    I thought you were disputing the rise of incidents. Whether there was a rise or not is a straightforward factual claim.

    Attribution is a more complicated matter. It's hard to know for sure what the causes are.

    What does it matter? Bernie doesn't push racist BS, Trump does. Bernie doesn't embolden white supremacists, Trump does. I could do on all day with Bernie doesn't, Trump does in the scumbag alley that you guys play in. If you need help finding Trump supporters who are belligerent, racist idiots spouting Trump tag lines, let me know.
