Jeremy Joseph Christian is an American ex-convict residing in Portland, Oregon.

Christian was a supporter of Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders. ^[1]

He is a career criminal known to police in the state of Oregon.

Christian has never had a romantic relationship and doesn’t know how to drive.

He doesn’t know how to engage in conversation and often makes provocative statements to compensate for his social dysfunction.

A week before his killing rampage, Christian's mom threatened to throw out his 15,000 volume comic book collection which he was storing at her house because she said it was taking up too much space.

This news deeply upset Christian.

On May 26, 2017, while aboard a MAX train approaching the Hollywood, Portland, Oregon Transit Center at around 4:30 p.m. local time, Christian was yelling hateful statements at two Muslim girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab.

Two men came to the women's defense, one identified as Taliesen Myrddin Namkai Meche, and were then stabbed to death by Christian.

A third person was also stabbed and was transported to a local hospital who was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Christian was heard yelling, "Get off the bus, and get out of the country because you don't pay taxes here."

After the train stopped moving, Christian was also heard cursing and stated, "This is free America, I can do whatever I want."

Officers arrested Christian as he ran from the Hollywood transit station into the neighborhood near Providence Portland Medical Center.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has also offered its resources to help Portland police with the investigation.

Christian is facing two counts of aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of intimidation and felon in possession of a restricted weapon.

He has been arrested for felony robbery, kidnapping and weapon convictions. Christian pled guilty on Nov. 4, 2002 to one count each of first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping.

On the same date, also pled guilty to carrying or using a dangerous weapon.

In November 2010, Christian was accused of first-degree theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm in Multnomah County.

The case was dismissed for unknown reasons on January 18, 2011.
