Man slits throats of Max Train passengers

This country is going to hell in a hand basket.

I also read a week or so ago, someone in Oregon - a man cut off his mothers head and brought it to the store or something! It's horrible what the world is coming to!

thats s horrible I was hoping that ths was not a valid report as some are untrue on facebook

A terrorist on the loose. Bad ideology about other people and killing someone because you expect them to back your evil ideas. So insane,

Things like this make you scared to go to any public place. You could be shoot or worse in any place anymore and for no reason at all.

This is the line I usually ride into downtown. There is hatred everywhere, seems on the increase since the recent election. Some is directed at specific groups, other is, or seems, random. Not that long ago, some old dude having a meal at a Denny's was set on fire by a stranger. Is it time for us to hunker down for our own safety?

That is horrible, just horrible and disgusting. I can't imagine how people like that live without their hate burning them up. We are all upset about terrorists but the average Muslim has nothing to do with those things and is as horrified as the rest of us. That man is evil. John Kelly, head of Homeland Security, recently said that if everyone knew what he did we'd never leave our houses. People like that evil man on the train just make it worse.

There should be a safe way to handle these types of situations. For example, there should be an emergency button to press. In most trains there are. In an instance like this, if the situation continues to get worse at an alarming rate, I'd push an emergency button in a heartbeat. Now I know people will say you can't be stopping public transporation vehicles for any and every reason. But a lot of times most people can judge a situation with a little bit of common sense. Personal Experience: One time I was riding an express bus. As soon as the bus enters the highway, there is no stopping until the bus has made it across town. We had a passenger that yelled that another passenger had taken “his seat”. His seat? It's a public bus. Duh! There are no seats with your name on it! He was really making the passengers feel uncomfortable and fearful. That guy yelled the entire time we were on the expressway. Here we were trapped on a bus, no way out, with a screaming lunatic! In an instance like that, the bus driver should have an emergency button he can push to notify the bus headquarters so they can have a police officer at the stop when the passengers finally arrive. These days, changes have to be made and processes have to be put in place for public transportation so passengers don't have to feel helpless or become victims. My goodness! Most people are just trying to get to work and get back home!! * This is just a side note: Why they always gotta be bullying women?

I heard a little about this, the news is such a bad thing to listen to. too much hate going on .

So scary! Please be careful out there

Awful! Tony still wont go to the movies because of that shooting.

A friend of mine who lives in Portland passed by the police who were gathered at the scene, and then came home and found out what had happened. She rides the MAX pretty often too.

I saw this on my Facebook newsfeed as well. It is terrible and very sad. I hate that there are people in the world who actually think like this and think it is okay to treat people this way.

I hate reading the news from Portland, even though I loved there for most of eighteen years, the people get weirder and weirder and not in a good way.

That's sad, these things are happening more and more that's days, it just makes us sick

That is terrible. If this keeps up people won't be able to travel anywhere or do anything they want. I sure wish this kind of stuff would stop. Will pray for those involved.

That's very sad. What a dreadful crime.

The racists are feeling quite empowered these days.

How insane

This is really a sad news that is not welcoming to us everyday. Reading news suppose to be filled with some positive and negative news related to us daily. But not news related to terrorist attacked. I am speechless.
