PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) - Jeremy Joseph Christian is facing murder charges after police say he killed two people on a MAX train headed to the Hollywood Transit Center Friday afternoon. 
  
 Witness accounts detail the moments leading up to the stabbing as hateful and rage-filled, as Christian allegedly hurled insults at two young Muslim women sitting on the train. 
  
 When two men came to the defense of the young women, police say Christian slashed their throats - killing them. 
  
 A third stabbing victim is recovering in the hospital. 
  
 Christian is no stranger to the law and no stranger to racist rants, either. 
  
 Court records show Christian was convicted of robbery and kidnapping in 2002, and KATU News has obtained mugshots of his other arrests dating back to that time. 
  
 In the 2002 incident, an officer responding to a robbery call spotted Christian fleeing the scene. Police opened fire on him, striking Christian in the cheek. He survived. 
  
 Most recently, 35-year-old Christian was seen at a protest in Portland's Montavilla neighborhood on April 29. 
  
  
  
 After the annual 82nd Avenue of the Roses Parade was canceled due to violent threats aimed at the Multnomah County Republican Party - which planned to participate in the parade - opposing groups gathered at Montavilla City Park for clashing protests and marches. 
  
 In KATU News video from that day, Christian is seen giving what appear to be Nazi salutes, and screaming insults at protesters. 
  
 Watch the video below (WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE). 
  
 While it appears Christian is affiliated with right-wing groups in the Portland area, a prominent alt-right Nationalist leader, Joey Gibson from Vancouver, posted on Facebook Saturday morning denouncing Christian's actions. 
  
 Gibson was also in attendance of the April 29 rally and says his group does not associate with Christian. 
  
  
  
 "Extremely hateful man, was yelling and screaming, trying to cause division, calling us names because we didn't stand for it, we didn't want it," said Gibson. He went on to say, "Basically from the beginning, he started doing 'hail Hitler stuff', Nazi stuff, racist stuff." 
  
 Christian's Facebook page is littered with violent, profanity-laced posts. In one status, he writes, "I want a job in Norway cutting off the heads of people that Circumcize Babies." 
  
 Another post shows a picture of a police officer on fire. 
  
 Neighbors say Christian lives with his parents at their North Portland home. No one answered the door Saturday afternoon and no one answered the phone. Neighbors say they've never noticed any major issues at the house. 
  
 Christian, is facing two counts of aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of intimidation, and felon in possession of a restricted weapon in the MAX train stabbing. Police say more charges may be added. 
  
  
  
 On Saturday, police said a review of Christian's record with the Portland Police Bureau shows he is not flagged as a criminal gang member, nor does he have any known mental health history listed. 
  
 The victims killed have been identified as 53-year-old Ricky John Best of Happy Valley and 23-year-old Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche of Southeast Portland. The third surviving victim is 21-year-old Micah David-Cole Fletcher of Southeast Portland.

 Last month, even as hardcore activists with opposing ideologies clashed on the streets of Portland, Ore., as police officers kept watch, Jeremy Joseph Christian stood out. 
  
 He was big, standing over 6 feet tall and weighing 235 pounds, according to booking details. He wore an American flag cape. He was marching through the crowd yelling the racial epithet “n—-r” and throwing off one-armed Nazi salutes. 
  
 “I think this guy has a mental illness of some sort,” said Corey Pein, a freelance writer who encountered Christian that day and interviewed him for the local Williamette Week. 
  
 Now, Christian, 35, is accused of fatally stabbing two men Friday night as they tried to intervene when he shouted anti-Muslim hate speech at two young women on a light-rail train in Portland. He was “yelling and ranting and raving a lot of different things, including what we characterized as hate speech or biased language,” Portland police spokesman Pete Simpson said. Christian was being held on two counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted murder, among other charges, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. 
  
 The attack comes as Portland has weathered rising tensions between groups with fiercely opposing views, including white nationalists, right-wing extremists, anarchists and so-called left-wing “antifascists,” known as the “antifa.” These groups have been colliding with increasing frequency across the country since the election last fall of President Trump — especially in cities regarded as liberal. In April, Berkeley, Calif., was the scene of riots as protests and counter-protests swirled around planned appearances of conservative commentator Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart News editor. 
  
 In Portland, clashes broke out last month during what was supposed to be a parade to start the city’s annual Rose Festival. The April 29 parade was canceled after anti-fascist groups pledged to disrupt the event because of the participation of a county Republican Party float. Parade organizers did not want to risk violence. Instead, the day was marked by protesters from across the political spectrum. 
  
 That’s where Christian showed up, with his flag cape, where he was noticed by journalists from The Oregonian who were live-streaming the event. 
  
 “That’s the dude who wrote all that ranting, weird stuff on the Facebook page. That’s the dude in the ’76 cape,” one of the journalists said, referring to the 1776 American flag that Christian wore around his neck, “the one who got kicked out earlier.” 
  
 “Oh, the one who was shouting at everyone.” 
  
 “He was shouting racial epithets at the park,” she continued. 
  
 The video was shared by Christian on his own Facebook page. It appears Christian also shared other videos of himself marching. When someone later asked him online if he was truly a Nazi or just trying to be a provocateur, Christian responded that he was not racist. 
  
 Christian’s Facebook page is awash in hateful and angry memes and photos. He makes threats of violence against police. He called Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh a “TRUE PATRIOT!!!” on April 19, the anniversary of the 1995 domestic terrorist attack. Attempts to reach Christian’s family members for comment were unsuccessful Saturday. 
  
 Christian noted on his Facebook profile that he likes comics, marijuana and heavy metal music. He also said he was an ex-convict. Online court records show that he was convicted of robbery and kidnapping charges in 2002. It was unclear how long he served in prison. 
  
 When Pein saw Christian at the April 29 rally, he decided to follow him and another man who was dressed in biker gear. Christian agreed to be interviewed, the biker did not. Pein said he noticed that while Christian stood out, he did not seem like an outsider to others. Christian nodded and saluted other protesters and appeared to be part of a larger group, Pein said. 
  
 Pein said he’d been worried for a while about tensions in Portland exploding into violence. 
  
 “I was really worried something was going to happen on June 4,” he said, referring to one of the biggest days for the city’s Rose Festival. 
  
 “But it’s happening now.”

 Jeremy Joseph Christian was being held Saturday in the Multnomah County Jail on suspicion of aggravated murder, attempted murder, intimidation and being a felon in possession of a weapon. He was arrested a short time after the attack on Friday. 
  
 He will make a first court appearance Tuesday, and it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney. A phone at his home in Portland rang unanswered early Saturday. 
  
 Police on Saturday identified the victims as 53-year-old Ricky John Best of Happy Valley, Oregon, and 23-year-old Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche of Portland. Best died at the scene, and Meche died at a hospital, police said.

 Micah David-Cole Fletcher, 21, of Portland was also stabbed in the attack and is in serious condition at a Portland hospital, police said. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, police said. 
  
 Witnesses told CBS affiliate KOIN-TV the suspect was yelling about hating Muslims for several minutes before people confronted him and the encounter turned violent. 
  
 Police say that before the stabbing the assailant on the train was ranting on many topics, using "hate speech or biased language." 
  
 Friday was the beginning of Ramadan, the holiest time of the year for Muslims, and the attack prompted soul-searching in Portland, a city that prides itself on its tolerance and liberal views. A memorial of flowers and signs quickly grew at the scene by a transit station. 
  
 "There is too much hatred in our world right now, and far too much violence. Too much of it has arrived here in Portland," Mayor Ted Wheeler said in Facebook post. 
  
 Wheeler was on the inaugural direct flight from the Oregon city to London when the attack occurred. He said he boarded the first flight back and was due to arrive Saturday afternoon. 
  
 Dyjuana Hudson, a mother of one of the girls, told The Oregonian that the man began a racial tirade as soon as he spotted the girls. Her daughter is African-American and was with a friend who was wearing a hijab, she said. 
  
 "He was saying that Muslims should die," Hudson said. "That they've been killing Christians for years." 
  
 The attack happened on a Metropolitan Area Express train as it headed east. A train remained stopped on the tracks at a transit center which was closed while police investigated. 
  
 Autopsies on the victims were being done Saturday. Police say the victims were trying to stop Christian from confronting the girls. 
  
 "In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him and appeared to try to intervene with his behavior and some of the people that he was yelling at," police Sgt. Pete Simpson told The Oregonian. "They were attacked viciously." 
  
 Police Sgt. Pete Simpson told CBS News that Christian attended a free speech march in April with a baseball bat to confront protesters but the bat was quickly confiscated by officers. 
  
 The Portland Mercury, one of the city's alternative weeklies, posted an article with video clips of a man wearing a metal chain around his neck and draped in an American flag. "He ranted how he was a nihilist. He'd soon yelled racial slurs ... and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day," the Portland Mercury says. 
  
 Neighbors who live next to Christian's parents' house -- which was also his last listed address in court records -- said the family was quiet and they often saw Christian's two adult brothers but never him. 
  
 One neighbor, Kenny Jenkins, said he occasionally saw Christian riding his bike around the neighborhood. 
  
 The neighborhood where the Christians live is on the northern outskirts of Portland, an area that has been rapidly gentrifying in recent years because it remains one of the last affordable sections of the city. The homes immediately surrounding the Christian residence now hold biracial families moving from out-of-state and same-sex couples, Jenkins said. 
  
 Despite the changing neighborhood, the Christians have lived in their modest, two-story off-white house for decades, next-door neighbor Ron Killgore said. 
  
 "We would have a brief conversations. Every time they were out gardening, we would chat," Killgore said. "Just a few days ago I saw them out, doing something in the flower bed out front." 
  
 Portland Police Chief Mike Marshman told KOIN-TV that Friday's attacks were tough to comprehend. "Even though I've been doing police work for a long, long time now, the shock of these senseless crimes still stunned me," he said. "Just horrific." 
  
 But Christian has had several encounters with the law, and spent time in prison for robbery and kidnapping charges years ago, according to court records and a defense attorney. 
  
 In 2002, Christian, then 20, was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping after he rode to a convenience store on his bike and held up employees there with a gun, according to court records and his court-appointed defense attorney at the time, Matthew Kaplan. 
  
 When police caught up with him, Christian aimed the gun at himself in a suicide attempt before he was shot and injured by police, Kaplan said. 
  
 Christian was sentenced to more than seven years in prison after striking a plea deal that eliminated coercion and weapons charges. 
  
 Kaplan said he remembers the case vividly because Christian was so young, so earnest and had never been in trouble before. At the time, the attorney suspected the onset of mental illness to explain his actions and worried about how he would deal with a long prison sentence. 
  
 "It was so random, the event in his life. It made no sense that he did this at his age. He had no background like this, no history of violence and then he goes and gets a gun and robs a store," Kaplan told The Associated Press in a phone interview. 
  
 Christian had another brush with the law in 2010, when he was arrested on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and theft. Those charges were dismissed, according to court records, which do not explain why. |||||

Jeremy Christian, the man suspected of yelling anti-Muslim hate speech at two women then killing two men who came to their defense Friday in Portland, is a "known right-wing extremist and white supremacist," the Portland Mercury reports. According to the Washington Post, the 35-year-old Christian was seen at an April 29 March for Free Speech in Portland giving Nazi salutes and yelling "n***er" while wearing an American flag for a cape. A reporter who interviewed him at the event says Christian appeared to have a "mental illness of some sort." While Christian has no known mental health history, his defense attorney from a 2002 incident also believed he suffered from mental illness, CBS News reports. On his Facebook, Christian is a self-proclaimed white nationalist, though he argues he isn't racist. He also calls the Oklahoma City bomber a "true patriot." An "alt-right Nationalist leader" in Portland denounced Christian's alleged actions on Saturday, KATU reports. Christian was convicted of robbery and kidnapping in 2002 after he held up a convenience store at gunpoint then threatened to kill himself in front of police. He was also charged with theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2010, but those charges were dropped. Christian is now charged with murder. The victims of Friday's attack have been identified as 53-year-old Ricky John Best and 23-year-old Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche. A third victim was stabbed and survived.
